Hi, I recently got a new motherboard, heatsink, case, power supply, and ram to overclock my E6300 cpu that was in a dell computer. The motherboard is a Gigabyte EP45-DS3R. I'm currently running at 2.8GHz and would would like to get up to 3.4GHz or more. I have a XIGMATEK HDT-S1283 and I used artic silver 5 for the thermal paste. My temps are 33C to 37C idle, and 50C to 59C under load. I think I should lap the heatsink because it looked a little uneven and I think the temps should be lower, right? What else can I change to get a higher FSB? My ram is by patriot, and it is the viper edition with the heat spreaders. it's 4GB (2x2GB) of DDR2 1066 and rated at 2.2V. Here are the settings for my mobo currently:
Thanks,
Matt
