I have just overclocked my cpu and memory for the first time and would like your opinions on it. Because i only have air cooling i am reluctant to take it further at the moment. I used the AI overclocking options on my motherboard to achieve this.
And according to my startup screen my memory now runs at 799mhz rather than the 667mhz it was.
Do these figures seem ok or could i push it a bit further?
Also how do i check what the temps are on my cpu?
thats absolutelly fine Wolf, sometimes these programs will show some temperatures that arent accurate. I used yesterday Sandra to see the temps of a system and it showed AUx tempearature 119.5 degreees. no matter what i did, that number stayed the same, so obviously it has to be ignored

Thanks for that Vincent. Could you have a look at the thread i started in the watercooling section and give me your opinion on the bigwater please?
Nice one!! Cool, and the temps in CoreTemp are very good at 37º!
Temps are now averaging around the low 40's. Im happy with that
And so you should!! I've got that on stock speeds and watercooling... without I was on 50 and 60.
I think my case has to take some of the credit, all those fans in there are doing a good job of taking the hot air away. Funny thing is i am still using the stock heatsink fan.
I managed to raise my Bus Speed to a tap over 500Mhz x7 = 3.5Ghz (E6300*). I used the Thermalright 120 Extreme cooler to help me along, on the P5N-E SLI motherboard with a Hr-05 to cool the warmer northbridge.
