Nadger Posted September 14, 2010 Posted September 14, 2010 So the last time I Overclocked was an AMD K6-2 from 350 mhz to 400. Im bottlenecking on my CPU atm with my current build and id like to push the processor just a little more. Heres my specs: CPU: Intel Core 2 Duo E8400 Wolfdale 3.0GHz 6MB L2 Cache CPU Cooler: Zalman CNPS9700 LED Motherboard: GIGABYTE GA-X48-DS4 Intel X48 RAM: G.Skill 4gb (2x 2gb) DDR2 1066 Case: Aerocool ExtremeEngine 3T PSU: Seasonic M12 700W Video Card: XFX 5850 Radeon HD 1GB I built this this to OC a little over 2 years ago but never felt the need to OC since it ran everything fine. Recently I bought a new video card cause my old one died. Now im starting to notice the CPU bottlenecking it. What are some good settings to start at? I dont want an aggressive OC just something light for now. maybe 3.5ghz. Should I be OCing the bus speed, or the multiplier or both? Do i need to worry about the voltage to the CPU, what setting should it be at? Do i need to OC the ram too? Im clueless here so if you could help me get started that would be great.
