My Specs are in the Sig

What i did was change
cpu voltage : Over Vid 3.3%
Fsb: 288 x9
the rest i left on auto

Max mem clock 133 , 2T
Should i change any other settigs, and what about my ram:cpu ratio.
 
Your RAM:CPU ratio is all ready set. When your board says the memory is set to 133, it means that if you have a 200fsb your ram will be 133. So at 288 your mem is running 288*133/200 = 191.52. 133/200 is your ram:cpu ratio.

Looks like a good overclock if its stable. What does cpu-z report your vcore as? Make sure your comp is under load if you have cool'n'quiet enabled.

My only advice is that you see if you can set your RAM to 1T. Test some benchmarks and see if you notice a difference - most people do with that setting.
 
Thanks, i have cool n quiet disabled.
I will set it to 1T and bench.

I was wondering if setting HTT to x4 was neccesary..
 
ok with 1T Aquamark Score of: 51815 to 52637
and SpeedFan gives me 45 load 38 idle..
i am going to overclock for more, after i buy two more fans today..
is there a website or Guide to how i can make a perfect fan circulation?
I drew a picture..

Well I guess my memory ratio calculation wasn't quite spot on. I just tried it on my system and it came within 1mhz. Don't know why yours is off but oh well, no big deal.

In terms of fan circulation there really isn't a lot of freedom, so there really is no 'perfect' setup given the constraints of a standard ATX case.

Just how you have it drawn is basically what you'll be doing. You need to exhaust from the rear because of its higher elevation and proximity to the PSU exhaust, thus you'll need to intake from the front. I guess you have a choice with the side fan but intake is probably your best bet. You can try both.

Unless you want to add a fan to the top of your case and cut a hole for it, its pretty much laid out all ready.
 
ok, i'll set my ram to 166 after someone replys the question.
i started playing the pc is starting to heat up..
prolly its just the piss poor temp reading from the k8n neo2, so it might be wrong but its at 56 playing punisher.. anyway i touched it and it was a little warm but not Hot my n00b question is if i set mem to 166 will it heat up even more and any other way to know if pc is overheating
