Time to OC my "new" computer - EP45-UD3R with EasyTune6(pic)

I say 'new' because I just got a new mobo and ram(4gb now) because my mobo died.

So everything is finally setup and updated after 6+ hours...vista updates took 2 hours alone. What's weird to me is the "preset" quick boosts in it...First one would probably work ok but I still won't risk it. Time to do some research and see what my cpu can do again. I only set it to 3.2ghz with my dfi before, didn't bother going higher, didn't want to use too much voltage.

You're on water. Pump that sucker up.

My thoughts were Easy tune`s complete donkey
why not the bios approach?
im just wondering (has easy tune got some hidden virtue?)

Even I got my E6300 up to 3.3ghz on $20 air cooling .

haha. its better if u overclock on BIOS, i dont trust overclocking using a software.

sometimes it might be unstable or over the limit

Should be able to get a quite a bit more than that yeah, have my wife's computer (Q6600 G0, EVGA 780i with stock intel fan) at 3.15 just for her to use normally
