Not sure how well my setup will overclock. Unfortunately it's some old stuff with some new stuff. Pretty new to overclocking, can someone point me in the right direction or possibly let me know what settings to use?

CPU: E6300
CPU Cooling: Arctic Cooling Freezer 7 Pro
Motherboard MSI 945P Neo 3
Memory: 2 GB Geil PC2-5300 DDR-667 CL= 4-4-4-12
Video: XFX NVIDIA GeForce 7800 GT 256MB
Video Cooling: Artic Cooling Accelero X1
Case: Lian-Li PC60

Thanks!
 
My board doesn't have too many options. Anytime I set over 295 CPU FSB the display won't come on. Post does not make any beeps, it just seems to hang there.

Is it because I can't modify my CPU's Vcore?

Basically all here is what I can set:
DDR Voltage: 1.8
NB Voltage: 1.55
Spread Spectrum: Off
Adjust CPU FSB Freq: 275
Adjust PCI Express Freq: 100
CPU Dynamic Overclocking: Off
Auto Disabled PCI Clock: Disable
Adjust PCI Freq: 33.3

Dram Freq: 400 (options auto, 400, 533, 667)
Configure DRAM Timing by Spd

I have also upgraded to the latest Bios v3.50. I was on a very old one before.
 
You cant adjust the Vcore but you can play with the other settings?

You should be able too adjust the vcore and yes that would ahve a lot to do with it.
 
Yeah I can't adjust the vcore. It will not let me. I've tried everything, the manual doesn't even have an entry to explain adjusting the vcore.

The most I've gone up to without locking up is FSB 295. DDR 1.95 1.55 NB.
