I've been reading into this for some time and I'm planning to overclock my system a little bit.
So, I think I'm going to raise my Bclk bit by bit and aim to get to 150, resulting in a 3.0Ghz overclock.
I'm planning to leave everything else on Auto and tweak nothing else.
Do I need to tweak anything else or make any other adjustments?
My Specs are -
CPU: Core i7 920 D0 at stock
Mobo: EX58-UD4
RAM: 6GB OCZ 1333Mhz
OS: Windows 7 Ultimate RC
Thanks!

Thanks for that
I've downloaded all the benchmarking tools, plus realtemp. I've Prime95'ed my stock setup to check temps and ensure it's stable and I'm happy
Temps are okay, 33-35 idle and 70-73 load.
My graphics card came with a free copy of 3Dmark Vantage and I've benchmarked it.
Now...can I raise my Bclk bit by bit to 150, while leaving everything else on Auto and tweaking nothing else?
Thanks

My settings for my UD4P - you'll need to play around with your RAM and timings more than I do, but I'm sure you can tweak it. Sewt CAS ~8 and I think you can pull this 1 off

Obviously back it up or turn off TB to lower your temps if you find it hot, might vary with voltages for you but this is what works for me
