hello,i am very noob at oc.so,please help me.
objectiveverclocking my cpu 4m 2.8 to 3.8~4.00Ghz
reason: i am upgrading to GTX 580 this month.so,i want to avoid bottleneck just bcoz of my cpu.
posting details like the following thread would very much helpful.

do i need to oc via bios or gigabyte utility easy tune 6 advance option will work.
i want to keep my cpu core temp under 80 so,please post details keeping in mind the conditions.
thanks in advance.
my rig is the following:
Casing-Thermaltake armor

Check out Miah's guide for overclocking your Bloomfield...

3 Step Overclocking Guide – Bloomfield and Gulftown

anything else than the overclock guide.can't somebody just modify the value from the given link- http://www.overclockers.com/forums/s...d.php?t=653255

That's possible, though if you want a template to start from, the best way to do that is to start by posting a template of your current settings... We can then lead you from that.

set your ram to xmp profle and try with multi 20 x BLCK 200 =4 ghz
cpu voltage around 1.3 + -

i just need those value to be changed & exactly matched accroding to my configuration e.g: cooling.

There is no way to do that. Every setup is different. Just because you have the same motherboard and CPU, does not guarantee you the same results. There are many variables. The easiest way to do this is to read the guide, consider it an adventure, learn a little bit, and ask questions if you need help understanding. We can get you close, but it's ultimately up to you to dial the settings in.
That being said, start with these basic settings:

200 bclk, 20 multiplier
2:8 memory ratio
Set your ram timings manually
Enable LLC
Disable Turbo, EIST, C1E

CPU Vcore to 1.3V-1.35V
CPU VTT to 1.325V-1.35V
Dram Voltage to 1.65V (or whatever the ram spec's say)

This should give you a good starting point. Read the guide, figure out what does what, and start inching your voltages down to reduce your temperatures. In the interest of the longevity of your components, you'll want the least amount of Heat/Voltage as possible. Let us know if you have any questions.

finally made it to 3.8Ghz

...just have to change the bclk to get 3.8 otherwise if i gave it 200 it would get upto 4.2Ghz which i don't want it.
real temp max core temp 82.max cpu standalone 66.aida 64 extreme edition temp-66,core 76,75,67,69
is there anything needed to be changed.pls note that i have a tri channel ddr3 6GB corsair ram & the cooler is tt spin q vt that's the only thing that is different from the above link.

First off, copy and pasting settings based on someone elses overclock is never a good idea. Overclocking takes alot of learning YOUR setup to achieve the results you want. Someone may be able to run their system with 1.2vcore while yours may need 1.4vcore. It will benefit you greatly to learn how to do it yourself.

Now as to your other question, what did you use to test this system after your o/c? Prime95? IBT? I'm assuming you used something which is where you came up with the 82` Max cpu temp...

i used occt & intel burn tester

oh another thing.can somebody confirm me that my does my mobo has south bridge temperature sensor? i am only getting north bridge temperature.i am using AIDA 64 extreme edition.but,my previous mobo which was an intel DQ965GF an lga 775 socket mobo had showed south bridge temperature.so,i know the software is ok.so,can somebody please confirm this issue

hey where is everybody?no reply?
