Old X2 4400+ socket 939 overclock help for newbie

[kernalmantis]

Hey all,
I built my rig about 1.5 yrs ago and got the X2 4400+ socket 939. the thing has been solid as can be. It has 4gb ram, watercooled 8800gts and 550 w power supply, and thermaltake big thunder cpu cooler, DFI LanParty UT CFX3200 (for the basics).

Im interested overclocking it but i have absolutely no experience in overclocking. except for the video card... anyway. i was wondering if anyone has a place where i can get some info on how to do it, or if someone could give me a rundown on it. Im just tryin to squeeeze a little more life out of this guy. Ive heard the Toledo cores were not too shabby for increasing the core voltages and what not...


p.s. this isnt my first build, just no experience OCing
thanks in advance

it would really help to know the make and model of your motherboard. knowing this can tell you if you can overclock at all or not. many mobos do not offer overclocking features. please post the mobo info

here's an intersting artile review of your mobo with some overclocking that they did. seems that you can increase the fsb and nb voltage, hopefully your system will stay cool enough. i know that my 790fx chipset stays really cool and stable.
