First OC

Well, since I got all of my FSB and power saving multiplier issues figured out I decided to take OC'ing for my first ever test drive. I've been using the system for about a week now, so I figured the break in period for my thermal paste is probably over and gone. Anyway, I left all of my settings the same except I upped the CPU FSB to 375x8 and put the RAM FSB to 1500. Giving me a cool 3.0 Ghz on my q9450. Let me know if I should change anything, or if I forgot a step or what not.

Anyway, I've been running 38c idle (same as I was stock). And here is a shot at my temps while under full load of prime95 for 14 minutes so far (hasn't gone above 51c).

not bad for a first time. keep up the good work and congrats! what are the other specs and what are we cooling the quad with? keep it up and you can hit 4GHz pending the cooling.
