Hi,
I've never overclocked a PC before but am keen to try it out. I've been reading up a bit but I'm still confused as to the safest yet most rewarding approach to this.
My system is made up of the following:
XFX nForce 750i Motherboard
OCZ 4GB Kit (2x2GB) DDR2 1066MHz/PC2-8500 Reaper Memory
Sapphire HD 4850 Toxic Edition 512MB GDDR3
Intel Core 2 Duo E7300 2.66GHz
There are 2 things I want achieve here. Firstly boosting the CPU up to about 3.2Ghz. At the moment CPU-Z is reading my RAM as PC2-6400/800Mhz and not PC2-8500/1066Mhz, so secondly I'd like my RAM to operate at 1066MHz.
Can someone guide me throught the settings I need to change. I have set the overclocking jumper on the motherboard to enable all the CPU voltage settings, I just need to know what to change!
BTW, my only attempt at this resulted in a BSOD - treat me as a layman!
Cheers chaps
