Have had my pc for awhile and never thought to overclock it looked into and got very interested and started trying to self teach myself.
My specs are as follows
CPU - AMD Phenom II X4 945 Code Name Deneb
Motherboard - MSI DKA790GX (MS-7550) VER: 1.21
Motherboard Bios - American Megatrends Inc. V1.16 (Aka 1.G) 10/28/2010
RAM - 4 Gig 2X2 Gig Super Talent T800UX4GC5 STT DDR2-800 PC6400 CL5
GPU - Nvidia GeForce GTS 250 1 Gig Code Name G92 Revision A2
PSU - Antec 430W Max Model EA-430D
HDD - Segate 500 Gig
OS - Windows 7 Ultimate 64 Bit SP1
Stock coling
I have OC'd from stock 3.0 Ghz to 3.6 Ghz and is stable well atleast I think it is I used Prime95 and just general playing games to test it I want to know if what I have everything set to is rite and safe and at its best settings.
I have read some people have got phenoms II x4 945's to 3.8 ghz stable but my motherboard bios only has the option at max to put it to 3.6 ghz does that mean that's the max I can get my one to?
CPU temperature is usually round 40-45 with these settings but when I turned on Unlock CPU Core and Advanced Clock Calibrations it my made my CPU temperature show up as 0 in the Core Temp program.
Here are some screen shots of my in bios settings and CPUZ cpu and memory tab.

In this screen shot I don't know what Advanced Clock Calibration is I set it to max +12% on all cores is this dangerous? also I don't know why Core 1 is greyed out and un selectable underneath CPU Core Control is that normal?
Couple questions from this screen shot what is CPU VDD Voltage & CPU-NB VDD Voltage and do they ever need to be adjusted? also sort of non related to this area of the forum but I turned up Adjust PCI-E Frequency from 100 to max 150 without being sure of what it does =/
My RAM is 800 mhz and its overclocked to 960 MHz there is one option above that that takes it to 1000 something but it won't post if I change it to that not sure what the max my RAM's are able to be overclocked to.
Here is screen shots of my CPUZ CPU & Memory Tab
Any help or advice on any incorrect settings or anything I have missed or just general information would be much appreciated as I want to get the most out of this rig with stock cooling as possible.
