Got my CPU up from 3GHZ to 3.6GHZ! Also investigating flashing the bios with
that of a flashier motherboard, but that could end in tears......

Hello, could anyone point me in the direction of a good overclocking guide?
I'm hoping to OC a Quad 9650 on an Asus Maximus Formula when my water
cooling kit arrives.

I was fed up with my asus SE not smoothly taking my Q6600 passed 2.6 or
2.7GHz and so decided to try another mobo (and so I could check if PCI-e 2.0
worked any better).  To ensure that all worked before stripping my Q6600 I
bought an E6400 to test it out.  Alas the mobo was DOA ...

What would be the recommended maximum room temperature for operating
an AMD Phenom 9950 with a mid-size Zantec fan.  I do not intend to
overclock, but I guessed that people here would know more about the
thermal aspects of CPU operation.

I cant afford a new PC right now so its time to give OC ing a go.
I have a :
1. AMD Athlon 64 3500+ Clawhammer
Core Speed: 2266.2 Mhz

Hi I have a X2 6000+ running at stock speeds on an Asus M2N-deluxe
motherboard and according to asus probe my idle temps are around 60c which
seems to be high when 100% cpu load its hitting like 70c, is this normal?
cheers.

I bought a GRADE B motherboard off Overclockers UK to test if my graphics
card was at fault or my motherboard (ASUS SE) and thus it came board only.
I built the PC up using some RAM I took out of this PC and an Aquagate
cooler I had previously bough for another project.  There's ...
