First of all thanks for the help. These forums have given me a great starting point. this is my first attempt at OC'ing.
here's my rig:
Gigabyte EP35C-DS3R
Intel E8400
Cooler Master Hyper 212 HS
Corsair CMPSU-550VX
4 x 1 GB Gskill F2-8500CL5D-2GBPK
Evga 256-P2-N761-AR
640 gb Raid Mirror
Vista 64
9 X 400 (3.6 ghz)
idle 34 C, 31 C
load 52 C, 50 C
latest bios from Gigabyte website
I'm not attempting to push anything too far here. i'd be very content with a stable oc to 3.6ghz.
i followed the OC'ing guide sticky on this website. i can't seem to get past 4 hrs on Orthos!
i must admit i'm afraid to push anything too far so i'm not very aggressive with my OC. But please let me know what i can do to get past this!
