have you read this?
hexus cd2 oc guide
it could be a good start
Well its hard to provide a give bunch of "settings" because each board is different however make sure before you continue you have turned on vdroop control/loadline calibration. Then disable the following:
Speedstep
C1E
ALL Speed spectrums
You also want to set your pcie frequency to 100mhz if it is on auto and set the nb/sb pipeline or whatever it is called to 200mhz. Some times when oc'ing these also get raised by the bios and can cause complications and random problems when being higher - they offer no real benefit being higher.
EDIT: dshepsman's link would be a really good place to start as well ^^
Cheers for the advice, manages to oc to 3.6ghz with idle temps of 30-36 degrees c but then the crazy part after running prime 95 for a while the temp rose to 85 degrees c!!!! The heatsink is seated properly and is running at just under 600rpm could this be a software issue? I have not re-formatted after installing new hardware.
