Hi

I'm a novice overclocker and I just overclocked a bit of my Q6600 slacr GO processor on a eVGA 780i FTW board.

Please help me out with some constructive criticism by looking at my overclock below.

Right now I'm sitting at 2.7 GHz on stock cooler. Yes, I know I should get a after market cooler, but I'm hoping to have a bit of a stable overclock so At least I know I'm doing it right before I buy a nice cooler.

FSB 1200
9x multiplier
300 bus

all spread spectrums, halt, speed step etc. have been disabled.

OCZ PC-8500 1066 4gb ram 5-5-5-18-2T 2.1V stock (FTW board fully supports 1066 ram)
ram is unlinked.
Ratio is 9:16 or something like that I don't remember.. but ya its high lol

voltages:
1.35 CPU
1.20 FSB
2.1 RAM
Auto HT
auto Aux
Auto Nforce
Auto etc..............

I ran prime 95 quad version for a few hours. Yes I know I should run it more. But im only at 2.7 Im sure its fine for right now.

good? so far?
