Overclockable ?

[Exploded_Monitor]

First of all, my specs:

Mobo= ASUS A8N32-SLI Deluxe Socket 939
CPU=AMD Athlon 64 X2 4800+ Toledo 2.4GHz skt 939.
*CPU Cooled by Thermalright XP-90
GPU= eVGA GeForce 7950GT 512MB. The "superclocked" version. I believe this means it's already factory overclocked.
2x Western Digital 160GB (RAID 0)
Antec 430w Truepower II (34v on both +12v, max 31v. I bought this over 2 years ago so im hoping this will hold up.)
**Corsair Valueselect 1gb dual channel (might be a problem...)

I just ordered this setup to improve upon my previous setup. 3000+, 6600gt, etc. (very decent way back when). I didn't order conroe in order to save about 400 bucks. I did the math. I am hoping to get good performance out of this dual-core setup.

- Under best circumstances, I want to get my cpu to 3.0 ghz. I am willing to upgrade Ram in order to achieve this - but only if necessary. I chose a mobo that i felt was more than decent for overclocking.. hopefully i didn't blow it. I'm sure my XP-90 can keep my CPU cool under intense conditions. The only thing im skeptical of is my RAM. My next paycheck is soon so a new dose of faster ram shouldn't be a problem.

Any thoughts are appreciated. thanks

yes, ur motherboard allows oCing. good luck

I figured that was given... more clearly, my question is:

Will my Memory (ram) impede upon my overclocking?

 

[computermaineack]

I'm not sure...Corsair is generally very good, and good for OC'ing...

But what did you use with your aftermarket HSF? Did you just use a thermal pad, or did you actually use a good thermal compound, such as Arctic Silver 5?

No, I'm using arctic silver 5.

No, just reduce the memory divider to DDR333 or below to keep the RAM at or near stock speeds.
