I have the following, (note this system was custom made by myself off newegg)

P4 3.0 @ 3.2 GHZ 800 FSB
Abit IC7-MAX3
2 gigs of Kingston Hyper-X PC3700
Koolance Water Cooling Kit (the external alu one)
Asus 9800 XT
4 SATA 10,000 RPM Raptor Drives (in a raid 0 config)
Tempratures: 40 C under load.

I am assuming that 40 C / 105 F is ok?

Currently I have everything at stock values, with the exception of the FSB changed to 215 for a overclock of 3.2, I have my AGP voltage set to 1.6 V (thats because the asus 9800 XT needs it for its overclock)

I know a lot about GPU overclock and have that set to where I want it, ie a 474 core on the card and running smoothly. http://www.ronaldstamper.com/3dmark03/score2.jpg

I know that my processor can go up to more but the question is how? I see here to set my memory timings to 3-4-4-8?

There are just a lot of overlclocking options in the Abit bios that I just know nothing about.
 
I would getting better cooling.. ;)

Anything higher on full load would be 50c :eek:
