erm well.. but if you go and look at the i3 reviews @ anandtech about the clarkdale.. the remarks is ridiculously fun to overclock XD

he reached 4.3 on stock.. 4.8 on water.. and 6.2 on LN2

awesome!! kingston value rams can push quite a bit also ... just dont go beyond 1600mhz.. i have problems then on.. XD
try pushing the CPU first la and post some results if youre in melaka.. the weather is cool and suitable to rape your newly bought processor

nice settings there bro! haha why not try going higher :/ 4.5 shouldnt be an issue i guess

hmm havent try enabling the LLC? that one will make your voltage you set in bios = the voltage you'll see in CPUz (let the mobo handle the voltage instead of the CPU)
i did managed to boot on 4.2ghz 210X20 for fun purposes only.. but havent really stress test it.. takut bakar and no plans of tweaking it at that speeds

anyways.. as im trying to say.. the 8pin will help in OC only /swt it wont really help with your mobo's performance

how bout drivers... it may sound stupid.. but it may be an issue too lol

ive seen 2200 mhz ... you can actually push no matter how far as long as its stable.. thats the beauty of overclocking ... the only enemy in you way is heat

those high vdimm are those imba expensive ones la XD... dont worry

trade the ramz in this forum lolz XD prolly your 4gb for 8GB

wooo gratz!!

I feel your pain
hmm.. i3 seems not that bad to play around with.. hopefully because of this i can find some cheap i7 860 on garage sales hahahaha

4ghz even on air is not a problem on the i5 750/760.. to go beyond that is tricky tho.. 70-80C max load still fine .. just dont push it 24/7 haha cuz normal applications there's no chance that the CPU will go max load like during those cpu test

i lama tak main OC already hahaha.. pakai stock clock but reduced voltage (hopefully can jimat electric)
