Hey guys,
I want to overclock my CPU so as to reduce the bottleneck with 8800gs
I dont know shit about overclocking, so can anyone please guide me how to do it.

Also, I dont wanna spend any money so how much OC can I get with the stock cooler.

Thanks

set your ram to DDR2 400 or 1:1
raise NB volts by .05v
push the vcore up by .05v
raise the fsb till it becomes unstable do this in 5mhz increments

run OCCT for an hour or so to check for stability

My old 630 would hit 3.7 but that was about it. If you go to even the cheapest of Core2's, and a budget 775 MB, you will be amazed at the difference.

can you recommend any software for temperature monitoring?
and how to lock bys frequency?

Everest ultimate , great prog for temps and alot alot more

my last pc was a 630, it had problems over heating, keep in mind if the temp goes over 70*c your cpu will thermal throttle,and your whole system will slow

You gotta lower your ram freq lower cause when you OC it will bring mhz of ram up

i had my 630 running good on 230 fsb

use your BIOS to OC, familiarize yourself with your BIOS before you start making changes

you should have an app on your MOBO driver disk "ASUS PC probe" works well for monitoring

leave RAM freq @ 1:1 (200mhz)

Oops, that was on H2O. If I recall, I think I squeezed 3.5 out of it on the stock cooler. My motherboard was limited to a 247 FSB (PCI divider issue - Abit AG8), ran it that way for ages.

This chip ran quite cool compared to what I've read. And now that I think about it - I gave it to a friend after rebuilding my system.
