P.S:widout any restarts and blue screen and overheating problems..:p

2.8 Ghz - 3 Ghz.

tell us what mobo you have and what's your ambient temp.

Post a cpuz screenshot of your cpu and what's your cpu's idle and load temp ( use real temp to measure temps )

BTW, what's your cpu vcore ?

mobo : Gigabyte G-41-MES2L-V1.0

and according to "Easy tune 6" idle temp is 30 degrees and load temp is around 50 degrees

vcore 1.248V

bus speed = 208 Mhz

rated FSB = 832 Mhz

multiplier = 12.5

Ok.. use Real; Temp to monitor CPU core temps and post those here ( idle and load ).

Use orthos to test the stability of your OC.

Set Bus speed to 220 Mhz and this will bump up the memory speed to 880 Mhz - set mem speed voltage to 1.9V ( use this only if you have DDR2 800 Mhz ram modules )

kk...got it bro..thanxx..........overclocked it to 2.75 GHz wid idle temp 35 degrees and load temp 56 degrees......\m/

one more thing topgear....wat dis mem speed voltage do??....i mean wat would be the effect on increasing it to 1.9 V??

increasing mem voltage will keep you memory stable when it's running in high frequency due to OCing - if you find you rams are running fine with stock voltage of 1.8V then there's no need to increase mem voltage.

post some cpu-z screenshot of CPU, Memory and SPD tab - I wanna see those.

looking at the temps of of you cpu I think you can push more ( around ~3-3.1 Ghz ) - just keep the cpu temp below 68C under load.

BTW, what app you are using for cpu load testing ?

as recommended by u....ORTHOS....

one more thing i'm planning to buy 6850 in nxt 10-15 days but i hv no budget fr a new processor......:(

will my E5200 create a bottleneck situation????....and seriously i'll hv no money left for processor after buying 6850+ corsair VX 450...:(

dats the reason fr my out of desperation overclocking..

You should be able to manage fine. Just keep it OC'ed as high as possible.

@ reflexx20 - that's a nice plan you have and if you can take your cpu around 3 Ghz or more there should not be any bottleneck.

Btw, HD6850 can be powered even using a FSP Saga II 500W or Corsair CX 400 - cost is Rs. 2.2 and 2.4K respectively.

Corsair VX450W costs Rs. 3.5-3.8 or so - So by going with FSP Saga II 500/ Corsair CX400 you can save a some money and get a good CPU cooler like CM Hyper TX3 @ ~1.2k for your CPU - this will keep your CPu cool and you might be able to OC it more ( 3.6 - 3.8 Ghz ) easily.
