Now I wasnt sure exactly what thread to post this in so i chose this 1 in hopes that its the right one..Anyway..
Over the past yr or 2 I have been Slowly getting thing by thing until I had everything I need to build me a awesome fast reliable gamer quality pc.
Finally I made the beast rawr and I can guarentee U it is by far the fastest pc Ive ever used.
I decided to overclock as much as I could but with little knowlage, just research and trial and error until finally I got it to work stable under diff tests such as intel burn etc, but how do I know im getting the most out of my pc?
Perhaps I have a setting wrong and maybe im decreasing performance?Things like this I dont know for sure cause its all new to me..
Heres some of the hardware Thats in it.
Intel core2 Quad Q8300 - Default clocking 2500MHz. - Overclocked to 3450MHz. - I once had it all the way up to 3525MHz but it seemed unstable, according to battlefield P4F, so then had to downclock it...
Heres a detailed hardware report done by everest.
I reported this after overclocking it btw, these arent factory defaults.

Now 1 question Thats really bothering me is the Strap to northbridge, And i know its prolly not that important but things like this bug me when I cannot find an answer.
With my cpu clocked at 3450/460 fsb, how should I set my strap to north bridge? 333, 400 or auto....
I still am trying to understand how this works and I wanna make sure I get the most out of my pc!
Or any other suggestions for me would be awesome!!!!
