Like many testified, overclocking is not for practical speed gains--it's a hobby.
Like knitting, it takes a lot of time, and you don't have much to show for at the end of the day.

i wouldnt say that mate.....:)
i used to have an E2180 OCed to 3.2ghz, bought it for £50 shipped & back then it was out benching stock Quads & ''EE'' C2Ds, which cost 5x as much.
500% profit (performance wise)
& i now have a Q9450 OCed to 3.6ghz, bought it for £80 shipped & it out benches stock i7, which costs £200.
so all in all...... if i OC, i get top of the line performance for entry level prices
I think you are either very skilled or very fortunate.
Most people who attempt at overclocking don't get that sort of performance gains.
A good 1.22 V would be good on my CPU.
The FSB is double-pumped so FSB:RAM should be 1:2
or in my case 400:800
And 400 x multiplier(9) equals 3.6 GHZ exact:)
The cooler is box but its surrounded by 2x12cm Fans witch gives me a
45-50 C so there shouldn't be any problems with that i think
What do you think?
