Have a rig I built a couple years ago that use mostly for video editing and some gaming. Want to OC it and was wondering thoughts on max settings as I am very new to OC.

Screenshots from CPU-Z attached of CPU, Memory and SPD. Everything is default. Nothing has been changed.

- Asus P6T7 WS Supercomputer MB
- Intel i7 950 @ 3.07ghz
- GeForce GTX 295
- 12 GB of RAM
- Noctua NH-U12P SE1366 120mm SSO CPU Cooler

Thanks all!

Been reading and tried a couple different settings (the photo is the last one). No luck. After reboot, still getting "overclocking failed" error and "load default BIOS settings", which I do.

Guessing my voltages may not be correct. Or memory?

CORSAIR XMS3 12GB (6 x 2GB) 240-Pin DDR3 SDRAM DDR3 1600 (PC3 12800)

To get around 4.4, I think I have the settings correct.

Bclk - 200
CPU - 22.0

More reading....
