I need help OCing my p4 rig, its nothing new actually.. 2.4B C1, abit IT7max2 v2, corsair pc3200 XMS

Im currently running the default 2.4 settings, 133:166 etc

I have the stock HS/F on it, but i will get a better one in a week or so

So, can anyone help me set this up .. Im really a newb when it comes to OC
 
What exactly do you need help with? Get a heatsink and start researching then come back with any specific questions you may have.
 
I just need advice on what to set the FSB/ dram ratio by/dram ratio and dram settings
 
Ok so your wanting the FSB:DRAM ratio and other DRAM settings?

I would suggest running the your memory at the highest speed you can. I dont know what dividers you have to choose from on your motherboard. I see your currently running a 4:5 divider. Your processor only requires 133MHz speed out of your RAM. So with PC3200 you have quit a bit of overclocking room.

You could leave it at the 4:5 setting and push your FSB to around 166MHz which would get you around 3Ghz. I dont know what kind of overclocks people normally get on the "b" series processors cause i've only been using the "c" series in the overclocks i've done.

As far as your timings go thats all dependent on what chips your memory has on it. If it has BH-5 chips you could run 2-2-2-5 but if its CH-5 you wouldn't be able to do better then 2-3-2-6 at the most stable. You just need to do some research on your cpu, board, and we would need a model number or date or something on the RAM to maybe figure out what chips its using. I would suggest looking up some reviews on your current hardware for ideas on its overclocking potential what works best.
