Hi guys,
First time poster, have read a little bit on the OC Guide's that have been floating around on the net and I currently have the cpu overclocked at 3.8GHz. I'm sure the settings I am using could use more tweaking, so this is the reason for my posting. If there is anything you guys think I could do further or what settings you think I should change to achieve 4.0GHz that would be fantastic!
SPECS:
CPU - Intel i7 930 2.8GHz SLBKP BATCH # 3001A141
COOLER - Prolima Megahalems Rev.B with 2 S-Flex SSF21E 1200RPM in a push\pull configuration
MB - Gigabyte X58A-UD3R BIOS F5
RAM - 12GB of G.Skill F3-12800CL9T-6GBNQ DDR3-1600 CL 9-9-9-24 1.5V
PSU - Corsair HX650W
GPU - BFG 1GB GTX285
HDD - Intel X25-M 80GB G2
CASE - HAF 922

With these settings my cpu currently idles at 39C and on full load at 67C. Ran OCCT Linpack for 1HR and IBT 5Passes on Normal and Very High and so far it passed (will stress test the system more later)
So whatever suggestions you guys have would be greatly appreciated.
Thank You in advance
