So, I got my new build. I own the Xigmatek cooler (recently reviewed here at tech-forums) paired with the E2140. Fist off, I am a complete newb to oc'ing and I have a few questions. My idle temps at stock were 25C-26C. Full load= 32C-33C. I raised the FSB I think to 335 mhz and got 2.7 ghz. That pushed my RAM to 900 mhz. My temps were idle=33C full load= 50C-51C. I have heard of these processors going to 3.0 ghz on stock vcore. Since the multiplier is eight, that means my FSB would be set at 375 mhz. However, if I do this my ram would be set at around 1000 mhz or so. Is this safe?
I own the Newegg.com - A-DATA 2GB (2 x 1GB) 240-Pin DDR2 SDRAM DDR2 800 (PC2 6400) Dual Channel Kit Desktop Memory - Retail
and the: Newegg.com - GIGABYTE GA-G31M-S2L LGA 775 Intel G31 Micro ATX Intel Motherboard - Retail.
Also, will raising the vcore increase performance? Thanks for the help.
