hey, can you refer or give me a overclocking guide for first timers like me, i i tried googling, but most of them are 2 detailed and confusing, i just want to knw the exact settings which willlet me push my proc.
and do u think is there any need for special cooling(like from coolermaster) and a very good PSU, i was thinking of goign for a local 500W pSU which comes fitted inside the cabinet, shuld i invest in a good PSU from zebronics, etc.
regards,
amit
Ok if you are budget conscious I'd go with assisin, get a 4300 but with 800 Mhz ram with P5B VM, that would be the best combi under a stressfull budget. A 4300 combined with P5B VM would give you an easy 3Ghz +.
Amit there are never any "exact" setting while overclocking its always hit n trial and vastly depends on the hardware itself. Same proccy n MB bought by you may OC differently than mine or anybody else for that matter.
You get your system assemble and then we shall try our hands as to how far we can reach.

If you are seriously interested in OCing leme give you two BIG DADDY of OCing threads one by me and other by ranjan who also have crossed 3Ghz and belongs to our official OCing club, both threads cover ample...... I mean HUGE amount of knowldge and discuession on OCing, read patiently...........you will learn a lot.......

OC Issues

CPU remains overheated...........tried many options!!!!!.


Now coming to the cooling part, yes OC make the hardware temp increase by a fair margin and heat is not good for any hardware, so after a particular temp if you wanna push more you definalely need a dedicated cooling solution for your proccy.
Lastly the powersupply, a decent PSU with 400W rated and atleast 20 AMPS at 12v+ would do good. Zrebronics is doing good for both me and ranjan and so we can vouch for that, otherwise you can get VIP or powersafe both are pretty good PSUS.

Is it that low price now , can u confirm from which dealer /city u got that price, I will soon upgrade another 2 gb in my system if its that low
yes buddy I think the prices have really gone down coz when I asked my vender (sai communications) he quoted me 3800 for 1 GB 800 Transcend Jetram, even I was surprised........I am soon gonna upgrade to 4 GB to get vista running like a piece of cake and to take full adv. of vista's superfetch technology.....

amit get your system up and running first every thing will come eventually....trust me you will learn every thing once you start doing it practically, and ofcourse we all are there to guide u as well........so go for the hardware first......
