Okay cheers, Only wanted it for the satisfaction of getting more out of what I paid for (:

I've used P95 and done it twice today with 2.7 and 2.8 but obviously the pc has been running for 6odd hours and been on 100 load for atleast an hour through both tests so It's sort of hard to see the max temperature for the 2.8 OC as the system has been running and heating up for a while. But...

What would safe temps be for it? I've OCd to 2.8, started off at 2.6 and then 2.7 now 2.8 and I've tested it too and seems the highest temp on 100% load is just under 70. Is this normal ? I've got the stock fan aswell as a separate fan attached at the back also.

Bump. Anybody know any reason why the FSB won't change within Windows?

With the system mem multiplier, does it matter if it's(in my case) 667 and a different number or does it have to be 1:1? Don't think I need to change the core voltage unless I was going up to say 3.4GHz. Cheers for your help anyway

GA-P35-DS3R is my motherboard, I know I can't make the multiplier higher but it was just out of curiosity I changed it from 12x to 10x which shows up in CPU-Z but when I changed the speed from 200(standard) to 250 so that it would be up to 3GHz...it just sticks at 200Mhz on the bus speed. I've...

Read through that. I think it must be the memory timings. Currently have a 12x multiplier, which changes on boot but the actual bus speed doesn't change atall so instead of getting 12 x 200 = 2.40GHz, changing the multiplier to 10 and the frequency to 250 just shows up as being 10 x 200 instead...

Thanks for the quick reply, It is possibly considering both sticks are only 333MHz. Even if it doesn't jump from 2.4 to 3.0 and being on such slow RAM, I still assumed there would be enough in it to get the clock speed up by atleast 0.2. It's odd how in CPU-Z the multiplier changes but the bus...

So I've been trying for about 3 or 4 hours to OC my current Intel processor from 2.4 to atleast 2.8-3.0 but can't figure it out. I've changed the multiplier etc in the BIOS and the bus speed(which is actually called something different on my p35-ds3r BIOS) but It doesn't show up on CPU-Z...
