Could you please suggest some tweaks to improve my overclock shown below. I have tested it a little. It seems to be stable (orthos & memtest) and it runs well with games. My goal is to refine this overclock to a efficient and usable status.
By the way, thank you for helping me last year with my RAM selection. I have read the sticky P35 overclocking guide and found it very helpful. I based these settings on that guide and many searches.
