E7400 0.56GHz Overclock

[moogleboi]

Okay, my computer is fine with most games but I recently signed up for the FFXIV beta and oh-gawd does it run badly.

My spec isn't too old - HD4850, 2GB DDR2-800, E7400

Anyway, managed to squeeze another 10fps out with a CPU overclock so I'm happy because now my game runs smoothly. I'm not bothering with my GFX, causes graphic corruption.

FSB: 320*10.5
Temperatures: 55*c full load, lowest fan setting - I hate fan noise
Vcore: 1.265
Mobo: Asus P5K

Okay, so here's my questions:

The speed keeps dipping to 2GHz during idle, I presume this is the speedstep technology or whatever. Does this matter? Unlike before the Vcore doesn't drop with the core speed since I've set a voltage in the BIOS. Can't see any speedstep options in the BIOS.

Also, this may sound stupid but I accidentally had Vcore on "auto" for one whole 3-minute boot-up which set the Vcore to 1.36!! Will this have done any damage? :/. I need this PC to last at me through uni lol >_>

And finally, does everything look good? Haven't done any tests but my game is stable

Nope. You'r fine.

Umm.... you only got 2GB of RAM....

Look for EIST in BIOS.

As far as the OC goes, it looks good.
