Hey all, first time posting on the board so color me newb.
Anyhow, I have never done any overclocking before and am nervous about blowing my system up but am willing to try. I'm looking for some conservative goals to meet on Overclocking the system I'm about to build. Here's what I have coming in the next day or two.
Aluminum Thermaltake 2000A
Thermaltake 480 Silent Purepower PSU
Asus P4C 800-E Delux Mobo
P4 2.6ghz with HT and 800mhz fsb
A twin set of Mushkin 3500 L2 512k, 1gig total RAM
Hercules Raedon 9800 Pro 128meg Video card
What kind of safe goals should I try to achieve with this setup and using the stock cooling? I've been reading guides and everything and it's still mostly greek to me.
