Ok I have been out of the overclocking ring for over 3 years now and now I need some help. I finally built a new system and of course I want to OC it. I have read several post including the one here http://www.ocforums.com/showthread.php?t=515316
Anyway I am not having much luck and pretty much lost. My old system ran for close to 4 years and after I had it stable I just let it run. Now everything is new and I am lost after not messing with ocing for a while.
I am only getting 3.2 out of it now but I would think it could go a lot more. Maybe I am wrong. But I would be very thankful for some help from some of you that know what you are doing unlike me. If this topic has been covered here I am sorry for another post but I have looked around and just not found to much info on this setup.
I am running the stock bios on the board as abits site does not show any updates though I have seen some mentioned in different forums.
I am running
intel e6850 chip with a ZALMAN CNPS9500 AT 2 Ball CPU Cooling Fan/Heatsink
Abit IX38 Quad GT mobo
A-DATA 4GB(2 x 2GB) 240-Pin DDR2 SDRAM DDR2 800 (PC2 6400) Dual Channel Kit 5-5-5-18
EVGA 8800gts 512 version
Audigy 2zs sound card
I am running 2 power supplies a 700 and a 500 in a large case with plenty of air running 9 120mm case fans.
