Hello! first off, im not new to the whole 'system building' part of the game, just the overclocking part. Ive always run stock, but ive recently upgraded to some new parts and think its pretty safe to O/C with my current cooling setup. Programs to use/techniques would be highly appreciated, PLEASE no links to other websites, i seem to find them biased to certain big-name programs and am not sure if they are the best to use and would like other peoples personal opinions, now,


ON TO THE SETUP!



AMD athlon X2 4800+ @ 2.4 (XP-90C with Antec Antec 75009 92mm)
Asus A8N-32 SLI-deluxe 939
BFG 8800GTS 640 pci x16
2gb ocz platinum (havnt adjusted timings, help here would be appreciated also)
OCZ 700W P/S
vento 7700

Note: I am NOT looking for a MASSIVE O/C, just something that will be safe for a beginner so please keep that in mind!
 
Go into the BIOS and set your front side bus speed from 200mhz to 220bam you're done (FX-60 speeds)
