Well I just bought a new system and today I got it all put together and I was a bit curious if I was doing the overclocking correctly. I havnt really done fine tuning overclocking ever and I wanted to run it by you guys to see if how i did it was ok...

Specs:
AMD PII x4 955, MSI nf980-g65 mobo and 4gb Gskill ripjaw 1600 with a TRUE cooler

All I did in the bios was up the core clock to 240 and increased the cpu v to 1.490, ram v 1.6 and NB v to 1.3. Is this ok process these days for overclocking by just upping the the core clock, voltages and not touch any other multipliers?

I did look up info on other people overclocking this board and chip and they all changed multipliers intead of just doing the core clock speed like I did. This is why I am polling you guys to see if what I did is an accepted method for doing an overclock.

Thanks for the advice/opinions and thanks for helping out an OC'ing noob.
 
You can do it either way. Upping the multiplier is easier and faster though, but both ways end up with the same performance. It's all a personal preference. I find that a combination of multiplier and bus-speed overclocking the best to get every last Mhz out of your CPU.
