So im still new to the overclocking area.

Basically I get distorted graphic on programs such as Xfire, CS:S, etc.

Any way I can fix this. Its running at like 1064 Mhz fsb with its reg voltage.

Go up in small increments, I mean really small. What's it at now?

See, this is my final result. I'm gonna mess around with some more later and see if I can get it lower.

You might try going up to 1.38 or something like that. I don't know much about Intel's chips, but from what I do know they run on lower voltages so I can't really tell you what exactly to put it to.

Oh, one last thing. If that doesn't work and you don't want to push the voltages any higher, lowering the FSB is probably the only other option. Better cooling wouldn't hurt either.

mmmm, bumped it to around 1.380 and the program I was running doesn't have the distorted effect.

Yeah it just needed more power to push that 3.7GHz along, it's quite heavy :rockout:
Now watch temps to see how it does. You also want to get a program that watches 2 core seperately, most programs from my understanding take an average from the 2 cores. One could be idling around 30C and the next core might be doing all the work at 65C, which is bad, so in that case get better cooling
