I am trying to get a steady overclock at 3.1 to 3.2 GHz. Does anyone have the proper configurations to do this?

PC - Mobo-MSI K9A2 Platinum, Processor AMD 5000+ Black Edition, Video Card-MSI HD X2600XT OC Edition, 4 GB OCZ 800 Ram, Seagate Barracuda 300G HD. :mad:
 
I just setup the same mobo and 5000be over the past few days, still doing some work on it though. But this is what I have so far.

I have 2x1G Crucial Ballistix 1066, Saph 3870HD and WD160 SataII. Hope it helps.

BTW If anyone else has any more pointers please post them.
 
Here is my OC. I am stable at this OC running prime for over 24 hrs. I hope this helps you out. Everything about my rig is in the sig.

I am using a gigabyte 690g mobo and have no trouble adjusting my multi, but my FSB clock is locked at 200mhz! Is there anyway I can adjust this or break through gigabytes lock? My top clock so far is 3.2 12hr prime. 3.2 crusies reallly nice, but just seeing how far I can go. Another note I have core temp running and it is showing my temps at an unreal temperature; Core #0 ~4c Core #1 ~15c. This cant be right can it? My bios is showing around 30c. My rig is as follows:
5000+ black edition @ 3.2ghz
tuniq tower
gigabyte 690g
2 x 2gb 800mhz mushkin
MSI 3870 512mb
500gb sata 3.0gbs
160 wd raptor
Dual Boot OS X 10.5.2 / Vista Ultimate 64bit

Thanks

Nevermind, I forgot to undo auto cpu clock. ;) I am running at 3.2 with 200 FSB 16x multi. Is it better to run a higher multi or FSB? I am using a Gigabyte 690G, not sure of the exact number but htere are only 2 of them out. Thanks. I am planning on going to 3.4 or 3.6 later this evening. Is 4g possible?

As long as your RAM can handle the extra "FSB" speed then more is better. As RAM speed increases so does memory bandwidth.

But if you increase the "FSB" and then have to turn the RAM down lower than it was before you're loosing ground ...
