OverClocking GB EP45 with KS HyperX RAM

[nullkuhl]

Motherboard: Gigabyte EP45-UD3R
CPU: E8400 3.0 GHZ Cache: 6 MB Bus: 1333 MHZ
CPU Cooler: Asus V60
Ram: 4GB Dual Channel (2 x Kingstone Hyperx - KHX8500AD2/2G )
VGA: Nvidia Geforce 8400 GS 256 mb up to 1024MB (256MB Dedicated)
Power Supply: Asus Power Supply 500W (P-50GA)

1-I have just assembled this PC however, I don’t have much experience with over clocking, my main problem is that my ram advertised bus speed is 1066Mhz and currently i only get 800Mhz, though i got the ram timing from kingstone website and it says 7-7-7-20 at 1.85v-2.0v , i applied that in bios and it seems that it just ignores my configs and run on its default 800 :S and default ram timings.

2- Also please post overclocking suggestions for this board with such config.

3- If i want to raise the Ram bus as much as possible, what do i need to do that, for example shud i lower the fsb for example and raise the multiplier then modify the ratio of (FSB : DRAM) ?

Please Advice.

1)Most likely u must put the rams manually to run 1066 through the bios setings.Now f i remember and if the bios is anything like my past DS4...,it will be easy enough.Just put them in 1066 mode and give them the 2.0 volts and u ll be fine!

the e8400 doesnt throttle itself until 100c but safe temps, in my opinion dont go over 70

2)U should be able to go to 3.5ghz easily enough nut u dont mention your cooler.
As for the temps u dont have to get throttle to get alarmed!!!Try to keep him under 60 c or if u cant under 70 c under load on EVEREST stress test and this kind of programs...
In the games it wont go over the temps that occure during the stress.
But tell us the cooler u use.
