I just recently started overclocking my new e5200 after reading that so many people had done it without a hitch. This is the first time I ever do anything like this, so was just making sure it's gone somewhat right.
I have the chip currently running at 3.3ghz with stock voltages, and I think I've correctly changed my ram timing as per the manufacturer.
This is what I have
Now I'm not entirely sure if it's all done right, I've read the stickies along with another guide for my motherboard specifically which is a EVGA 750i FTW. The RAM is OCZ Platinum XTC 4GB Dual Channel PC6400 Memory - DDR2-800MHz, Enhanced Bandwidth, 4096MB (2 x 2048MB). Coretemp and speedfan give me temps of about 56-57 with orthos and prime95, which I am happy with.
Anyhow, even with reading all the guides, there's still a bit of confusion on my part, this stuff can get pretty customizable, and I don't want to touch any voltages since I'm not that confident. Also, in my BIOS I believe I have the ram and cpu to linked and sync so that it slows the ram down accordingly (at least I think that's what it does). Do the numbers look ok with CPUz? Are there any other numbers I should be aware of?
Thanks.
