So here are the specs of the system I would like to OC:
I have read that this CPU is excellent for overclocking but I am really not sure where to start... I have owned this for 2 years now and (obviously) have never attempted to overclock it...
A lot of the things I have read talk about a 400 fsb on this processor so that has me confused as mine says 800...
With stock cooling and a decent case fan what can I expect to get out of this thing? Also, can someone let me know the details that I need to be aware of when setting the numbers in the bios? Voltage, multiplier, etc...
Thanks!!
