means now my processor is 2.3GHz? be4 i finish my tuning, the nTune boost my processor to 2.6GHz@@ and the benchmark test went unstable, then a runtime error come out, if PCI-E doesn't affect my CPU performance, then is it mean it only improve my graphic card performance?

y i only gt 5x multiplier max? cause by the motherboard or processor?

u adjust the GHz urself or u let the PC help u adjust? my casing is powerlogic, and it has no good air flow, if i go so high i scared my motherboard will turn to ashes.

EDIT: did u change the voltage of ur motherboard and graphic card while overclocking? if hv, wat software u use? or u adjust it in the BIOS while u start windows?

What a nice CPU to overclock... *sigh*.. if only it was given to me 
I tried using nTune. It sucks big time for me... I seriously suggest you overclock it manually from the BIOS itself. Be sure to check out the FSB, multiplier, RAM Speed, RAM timing... and last but most importantly.. voltage.

And yea, don't bother overclocking your GPU yet. Its still considered okay for today's games.

*edit*

Once you have set it to the max in your BIOS that is stable. You can use softwares such as A64 Tweaker and ClockGen to help you correct your RAM timing and also push ur overclocking a lil higher.

Somehow stability isnt a big issue for me. I dun get whats so big deal abt Prime stable and yada yada yada... people just wanna show others that their rig is very good in overclocking but truly, sometimes these benchmark stabilities don't reflect much. I mean, as long as it works, it doesnt hang... it can go load @ 100% without any problems... things shld be okay.

-Out of Topic-
Yo WaCKy-Angel, you sold your Advance Modules already ah? That teddy fella a bit irritating right? lol 

if i manually overclock it, i would prefer all go max, but i know that it will burn my processor and motherboard, and i hv no moeny to fixed it, and i dont know much about the voltage adjusting, i only gt a 450W power supply, and i'm not using ASUS or ABIT motherboard, i'm using the GIGABYTE.

is it 3500+ really suitable for overclocking?

ok firstly when you overclock, 100mhz gain won't give you noticable difference. neither does 200mhz.

however from 1.8ghz to 2.5ghz like mine, it's really not that noticable either unless the application requires some processing.

first of all i'm not pin pointing to anyone, but i feel that many ppl in this forum like to give their "maybe" opinion instead they're not sure about it. so as mod say answer it if you are sure or put a ? if you're not sure...
or you may say what's wrong if i simply answer? well when ppl google up they'll see the thread and this lead them to think "ppl in this forum/country are just so so"

my 2 cents

where can i find cpu-z? i find the download link for cpu-z on this website, but i cant download it on the link that gv by forummer, pls send me a direct link if u hv.

i odnt hv my voltage adjust settings in my BIOS and also nTune, is it not available in my motherboard?

no no.

vdimm is ram voltage
vcore is cpu voltage
