I found this article that may help noobs with basic overclocking....

So you yourself are not an expert OCer? YOU of all people? lol. I Think we could take those wankers at XS, lets get some N20 projects going!

If I could afford it, I'd do it.
That might really put TF on the map.. so to speak.

would i be right in saying that TF is more of a general computer troubleshooting forum site whereas XS is a dedicated overclocking site?

yes, and XS isn't exactly "noob friendly"
Most of the stuff happening at XS is overclocking, modding the hardware, and case modding, with a few other things.

Tech-Forums doesn't have world class overclockers (or should I say, people who can afford to be world class overclockers), but TF is trying to cover a broad amount of areas, as well as cater for noobs.

I don't think TOV is extremely friendly in general.

it wasnt pretty

That will be my project for this winter.
Heres what im planning on using-
Intel C2D E6700
Gigabyte P35-DS3P

A good "pot" preferrably this from italy-
Overclock Labs®: OCLabs Block LN2DI - LE

This ram- http://www.teamgroup.com.tw/xtreem/overclocking/team-xtreem-ddr2-1066mhz-cl-5%115%115%1115/

A friend of mine has the hookup for LN2, as his dad works at a laboratory where they use it daily. I wish we all lived closer so we could travel and work on this together, but hopefully i have a few guys who live around here that are willing to help me with it(and actually know what they are doing).
