Q8300 overclocking help

[hitman01]

Hello people,
I ordered a gtx 660ti, and a corsair 500w 80+ core i5 2500k, i am getting the 660ti and the psu tomorrow, and ill get the cpu later on when i have cash again, i currently have a Q8300 and a GTS 250, i will replace the GTS 250 with the 660ti until and keep it until i get the new CPU, i know the Q8300 will bottleneck it, so am planning to overclock, i have an intel motherboard and a stock cooler, i want to reach 2.8 ghz or 2.9 ghz atleast, here is my bios :

Depending on your LCD resolution, the bottleneck will only creep up in synthetic benchmarks... You can OC if you want... You may even see a tangible benefit. But you don't have to...

IMHO with that rig, you may have been better off keeping your old rig in tact as a backup and just building the whole new one from scratch or putting more money into a video card rather than your CPU...

I'd go into your BIOS upon BOOT. Depending on your motherboard's BIOS type, you can find somewhere in the advanced settings the control for the FSB speed.

I would suggest refraining from upping the core voltage. An inexperienced overclocker could destroy their CPU if they are too aggressive.

i posted pics of my bios, there is no boot, and shouldn't i lower the ram frequency ? before raising the cpu frequency, i have it idle at 333 ill put it at 360 and keep the mutli at 7.5 without changing vcore neither the ram frequency?

also my resolution is 1600x1050, i will keep the core i5 as my next cpu since i want to overclock it alot, and i already ordered the 660ti and for me its enough
