I messed around with overclocking on my old system and it's been so long ago that i am very lost now.
All i want to do is overclock my q6600 to maybe 3.6. From what i understand i have to increase the fsb and increase the vcore as i increase the fsb to make sure it still boots. I don't care about overclocking the memory, unless you guys think i really should. As of now i just want the cpu to keep this simply. Is my process right? increase fsb, run prime95 check for errors, increase fsb, and check for errors (while maintaining decent temps). I know i need to increase the vcore so my processor can get some more juice, but i don't really know why. I read most of the sticky for overclocking quads but got confused when it started talking about all of the memory settings.
Any helps or some good reads would be appreciated. thanks
