Cause the kit is cheap (deffo in UK) and good and low latency and will be future-proof. Plus it'll be TCC5, not TCCD - which is turning out to be pretty good RAM IMHO. Of course - I'm not actually allowed an opinion tho am I??

Jeez, great guide, I have to admit I`m totally out of my depth here, I only know I play with the settings and the pc fails and I clear the bios etc LMAO.
I`ve managed to OC an Athlon that was meant to be 1.2 summit to a 1333, probably due to replacing the retail box hsf with something that looked like a copper boquet of flowers w/fan.
I understand the multiplier business, but can any of you guyz explain to me what thoughts you have when you think about increasing voltages? Meaning do you think "I`ve going for an extra 0.13 ghz so I`ll need to increase the voltages by X" -- ?
Or is it simply that you base it on; your increasing the power demand, so you nudge up the voltage supplied, and hence the power used is more == more hsf work to do ? (and use a suck it and see method)
Great stuff, learning more and more here.
I`ve particularly been lead to this thread from a statement where some1 said SktA AthlonFX 2600+ was a nice ocer, and I happen to have one, cept the mobo is being a beetch atm.

its best to go as far as you can without touching voltages by adjusing fsb speeds (and if youre lucky enough to be able to, the multi) once you hit a brick wall you can then up the voltage untill it works and you can proceed further. Unfortunately the voltage can only go up several fractions of a volt before the CPU come very very hot and either burns or gets unstable. Enter the pwnage coolage to allow you to squeeze out that little more
