    I can't seem to get my comp to overclock right, once when it was on auto it was a 4.25 ghz, and now when I tried to oc it its gone down to 3.42 ghz (3.4 ghz cpu that should oc up to over 5 ghz). As well it seems when I don't set my voltage to auto my ram burns to hell at like 60C and right now on auto its at 37C.

    Well, for starters, the burning of your processor is precisely what you need, that way you will buy a Core 2 Duo.

    What are you setting the Voltage to? When I test my overclocks, I put the vCore to 1.4V, and I set the vDimm to around 2.1V (Assuming your SuperTalent has Micron ICs!), and then I start you slowly increment the bus speed. After I have changed the bus speed, I load windows, and go through a run of super pi, or something like that that uses your cpu. Then I restart, and do it all over again.

    I'm kinda tired right now, so maybe chris will explain it all more for ya.
