Help with OC my new Comp!

[matt36887]

I have built my first official FULL build (have done a shuttle before). I have purchased the following set-up and would like help overclocking it.

Gigabyte EP45-UD3R
Intel Core 2 Due E7200
Arctic Freezer 7 Pro
OCZ Reaper HPC 4 GB (2gb x 2) DDR2 1066

Thanks for your help

Re: Help with OC my new Comp!

Congrats on the Build!

Hmm, please give us a link to your ram. And what area you would like to run your CPU.

And while you wait go ahead and fill this in with what you have for now and then once you tell us the above me or someone will give you some ranges to work with >>>

This is Just a template I use to ask people their settings, pay no attention to the numbers in it, replace with yours
