Hey guys, its been a while

Not long installed a BLACK TRUE 120 and its superb!

Now im wanting to do an overclock on this bad boy.

Current setup:
E8400 @ 3GHZ (stock, 333mhz FSB, voltage on auto, memory set to DDR2 800)
P5k Pro
2GB Ballistix RAM DDR2 800
HD4850 Dual slot cooler

A moderate overclock like 3.6ghz, or maybe 4 if its not too difficult for me :D

Cheers

Update:

under guidance from someone else i raised the voltage to 1.30V, ram switched to manual and clocks set to 4-4-4-12 and Ram set to DDR2-801mhz (which was where the DDR2-667mhz setting was at 333mhz FSB)

I got an error.. failed to overclock :(

Its a p5k pro as i said in the first post :D

im sitting at 3.7ghz currently at 1.3v, i had to bump ram voltage to 2.0v

Next move will be 4GHZ. what will i need to change to achieve this?

hmmm you have a higher Multiplyer i think im assuming ur multiplyer is at 9. so hit 4.5Ghz with a FSB of 500 and 9x multiplyer =]
