Anyways i posted link in case u wanted to take a look at it but info is under it...I already overclocked my Ram from 800 to 1066MHZ because i believe that what it was meant to be run at. I want to overclock my CPU but was wondering what multiplier to set it at and also if there was anything else i needed to change if i overclock it. I heard some people say set it to 15 to make it run at 3 GHZ. Also i dont no what the abbreviations mean so please use full words except liek CPU... Thanks in Advance 😀

Stock Multiplier is 13 so just start going up I wouldn't go right to 15 which is 3.0 until you do some testing make sure your board and cpu are up to it depending on cpu you probably will need some more v core to get to 3.0.

What kind of cooling are you running?

Good tips from jtisgeek, see how far you can increase your multiplier on stock Vcore [Means the voltage the CPU is set to run on], know your stock Vcore and monitor it as you step up the multipliers, so you know where to start at when it comes time to increase the Vcore to stabilize a higher multiplier setting.

Note: Make sure you manually set your DDR2 memory Slot voltage and timings to the manufacturers specifications, or you'll run into instability because of that right off the bat.

Good Luck, go slow, and creep up to your goal, and have fun!
