Hello Overclocking World, I'm pleased to announce my arrival after a lost of valuable time. Well I successfully completed my latest build. I actually tried to just simply swap motherboards (same MFG and Chipset to gain (2) SATA-III 6GBps ports). Everything went well until I went to run my most important piece of software Adobe CS6 Master Collection. It seems that the software attached itself to the previous motherboard and would not operate after it detected a new motherboard was installed. Okay that problem is now solved, of course after a full re-install of Windows 7 Ultimate 64-Bit.
Now my dilemma and what brings me here for your help. I've been a chicken when it comes to overclocking, because I didn't want to fry any of my hard earned money.
Following is what I'm working with as a video editor:
Intel Core i7 950 3.07 GHz Bloomfield
ASUS Sabertooth X58
2x (3 x 4GB) = 24GB DDR3 Corsair XMS3 2000MHz memory (auto mode runs @ 1066MHz)
2x NVIDIA GeForce GTX480, configured in SLI
+ a ton of hard drives for managing my projects and video footage.
Motherboard max DRAM freq states 1066MHz.
If I make changes to the DRAM Freq to 1866MHz are there any other adjustments that I need to consider making while in the bios? Additionally and more importantly I am open to recommendations for a stable overclocked Workstation for my video editing suite.
In the meantime I will just leave everything in auto mode, until I hear from the professionals in this arena. Thanks in advance for any help that may materialize. If there is any additional information required don't hesitate to make your request. Thanks again...
