Overclocking advice on e6600 please
Morning campers
Just need some advice on the best way to go about cranking up my new gaming rig.
Went with the e6600 for the extra cache memory and paired it up with the Gigabyte DS3 965p for its overclocking features. I am using 2Ggb Corsair 667mhz ram. I am only using the stock cooler at the moment.
I am a bit confused with how the correlation between ram speed and cpu speed works. Is there a point where any increasing in fsb will be pointless because the ram will bottleneck? Is it worth attempting to overclock the ram and what speed is safe?
Finally, all of the Gigabyte utilities that came with this board do not run with Vista. Can anyone suggest a utility that I can use to monitor temps in Windows (I am a bit wary of this as I am still using the stock cooler) I have tried Motherboard Monitor but it is showing all my temps as about -60 degrees...I'm not 100% sure but I think this may be wrong.
Thanks in advance
