Need help overclocking..

Hey I'm planning on O.Cing from 2.4ghz to 3.2...

Asus p5k-e WiFi AP

Corsair XMS2 2048mb DDR2 Ram x 2

Nvidia 8800gt (EVGA)

Creative Sound blaster X-fi

(Vista Home ed 32bit)

(Got artic pro 7 cooling for processor)

I need a step by step overclock if anyone can please! Would be very much appreciated! I'm not great with stuff like this, but managed to have it overclocked to 3.2 for the past year but suddenly not working anymore :(

Thanks!

İ do not know anything about overclocking your system but what i do know is that i would 100% reccomend that you do NOT overclock for 3 reasons

1.Fry your sytem if you live in a warm place

2.you need a high PSU if you want to overclock to max

3.İ would reccomend a VERRY HİGH fan to keep the cpu cool

England, so not so warm, also my room is usually cold from the window being open.. When it was O.C to 3.2 for the past year my idle 35c, i just need to get back to that stage, step by step coz i can't remember how i did it lol.

England you can overclock to the max because i live in blackburn and it rains 24/7 :D

But i am not an expert on overclocking so i can not help you sorry...

All i am doing is warning you what can happen

So good luck and be carefull !

Not worried about the system overheating, its done well for 3 years im sure it'l hold out a while longer.. Thanks for the advice though! I would leave it at 2.4 but it isn't quite ideal to run new games :( Fallout new vegas seems a bit jumpy at 2.4, was fine at 3.2... I think its strange that suddenly 1 day my O.C profile doesn't work anymore, very strange..

:lol:

Not even sure what to say to that.

I have no smartass comment simply becasue that sentence pwns itsself harder than anything I could possibly contribute.

rule of advice. im a bad person to ask for OCing a CPU. a GPU is very easy with MSI After Burner, or with EVGA Precision. that said

if your going to OC you CPU first thing to do is to get a after market cooler that fits in the type of CPU socket you have.

Just google overclocking guides and you'll get alot of results.

That "needing a high psu to oc to the max" is nonsense btw
