A few post OCing questions...

[N3rd]

Ok here we go...

E8400
Gigabyte EP35-DS3L
Antec 900
Artic Pro cooler 7 92mm
700w PS

As of right now I changed my host frequency (FSB?) to 370 in bios says the cpu is around 3.4ish (running at 3.3 in cpuz)

Changed my ram timing from 6-6-6-18 to 4-4-4-15
Changed PCI frequency to 100
Changed system memory multiplier to 2.00
Still on stock CPU volts.

Now for my questions

1. I am currently running orthos and my temps are at 57-58 Max. About 9-10 degrees more then stock clock at load.
**Is that all right?

2.My bios menu had some flashing red text about my system voltage not optimized (not cpu volt) so I selected auto instead of manual for optimization.
The flashing text went away after that and it said optimized.
**Now should everything be safe from doing auto optimization?

3.Is there anything else that I should be looking at or changing if I havent yet?

On Gigabyte boards, the voltage stuff will do that, it's fine. You'll want to set everything to Manual... Make sure your RAM is set to it's default voltage (2.2v?)

I am looking at cpuz under the SPD tab at the bottom it says EPP#1 and the timing settings 4-4-4-15, and 2.0v at the bottom so does that mean if I have that timing my volts are 2.0 and I will have to up it in bios?

It's like a guide... I'd run RAM at the stock voltage all the time, no matter what timings you're using...
