How to overclock?

I suppose you know where all of this things are, so here it goes:

  • Set FSB to 236 MHz (236*11=2600)
  • Set HTT multiplier to 4X (not the actual core mutliplier, 11X default)
  • Set RAM divider to 166 MHz (333 MHz), your DDR won't be OC'ed, it will run at default 400 MHz
  • Set the PCI syncronisation clock to 33.33 MHz (if it's Auto it's OK, it is by default, though)
That's it, if it becomes unstable, just increase the vcore a bit

just set the memory clock to 166 MHz (333), don't worry, your RAM won't be underclocked, that's called memory dividing, don't let it confuse you.

I TOO am going to try everything you just said, however, I have a couple more questions if you don't mind.

Why will the mem speed still run at 400 if it's set to 333 but yet you get problems if you go over 400?

and

What does a PCI clock do?

Because memory speed is dependent on a combination of the FSB speed and the memory divider. Whilst RAM can be successfully overclocked, it doesn't do as well as the processor without loosening ram timings.

It's the speed the PCI slots function at. You quickly get instabilities and/or damage if you go over the default level.
