I just built my first PC a few weeks ago (see sig for specs) and after getting my Vantec Aeroflow installed I couldn't resist overclocking. My Barton came locked but people have said my mobo should unlock it automatically so I have tried setting the multiplier up to 11.5 and saving the bios. When I reboot back into the bios it still has the multiplier set at 11.5 but then if I start windows and go into CPUZ it shows the multiplier as 11 and my speeds are the same, so I figure it isn't unlocking. The processor is at 11x200 now, would it be worth it to up the FSB anymore to 210 or so? I moved the RAM settings to 2.5-3-3-7 from 2.5-3-3-8 and I've heard that's as low as this type of Corsair can get, can anyone confirm that? If so then the only other options I see that might have some effect on speed are the voltages for the RAM and AGP and also the memory frequency. Am I missing some settings that could let me go faster or have I reached my peak? Right now my MBM gives me a readout of 37/48 C for my processor idle/load and my case is about 34/42. I'll be adding a 120mm Panaflo intake next week so cooling shouldn't be that much of an issue. Thanks in advance for any suggestions.
