Yes I am planning to overclock, possibly today. My CPU is Socket 939 Athlon 64 3000+ running on a Gigabyte GA-K8NS Ultra. My current temps are about 28 Idle and 40 At MAX.

Anyway, I have decided I do NOT want to overclock my RAM, so I will be setting up a divider, what divider ratio I don't know yet. My stock voltage for my cpu is 1.4v I upped it last night to 1.425 and did a 12 hour stress prime 2004 and it went fine.

My FSB is at 200, and my CPU at 1808MHz. My goal for the first attempt is 2.0. My overall goal is 2.3, If It starts to get around like 47 Full load, I may want to stop.

So what should I do now? Setup the divider? And should i overclock using the BIOS or easytune? A utility that came with my motherboard.

Thanks!

Also, I am using a STOCK HEATSINK!
 
250FSB and a 5:4 divider.

Your processor should be at 2.25ghz, and your ram still at 200mhz. You should be able to manage that overclock on default cooling/voltage.
 
If I set the 5:4 Divider now....my RAM will be slower until I OC right? And should I OC using the BIOS or easytune?
 
I'd suggest you read the great O/C guide we have here.

Normally just "pluggin numbers in" doesnt fly. (although it works sometimes) I would suggest you test each thing individually, then find the best setting that gets close to everything.

but either way...
 
yeah...I upped the voltage from 1.4 to 1.425 and ran stress prime 2004 for 12 hours...i plan to take it in small steps.
