Just a quick question; Would it be safe to just set my CPU Voltage to 1.5 and the FSB to 400(Will give a 3.6Ghz OC and a 1:1 Ratio) and test to see if it is stable? And if it is, slowly lower the voltage until it becomes unstable? Or would it be much safer to just go in 10mhz increments?

My Temps are fine, 29C Idle for CPU and 43C Idle for MCP. I am using the Thermalright Ultra 120(CPU and HSF Lapped). Thanks. :)
 
Well its usually done the other way to avoid putting extream voltage on the cpu unless absolutely necessary.

Maybe split the difference. try 340 at 1.4 and go up in 20Mhz jumps and try an increase in Vcore if you do not make 400. But there are no rules. Booting into a memetest CD prevents any chance of hosing the OS until you have a good feel for the limits.
 
Thanks for the advice Bill. I'll go ahead and try that. Hopefully I get the 3.6 I am looking for. :)
