Overclocking CPU and Voltage?

[roosta21]

I just completed a new build in the past month. It seems that my system is now stable and I want to do a little over clocking. I only have plans for now to oc my CPU. My system specs are below but my 9800GTX XXX is already oc a little out of the box. I really have no interest in messing with the timing or speed of my RAM at this point. Current timing 5-5-5-15. I have clocked my E8400 wolfdale 3.2 and have not had any issues. I have read many articles and posts on the net and see that I should have no problem oc upwards of 4.0 on air. I plan on staying a little conservative for now and stepping up slowly to about 3.8

I guess my main question is when should I mess with the voltage? Should I step it up .1 or .2 and see how it effects system stability?

Thanks

As you increase your FSB, you should probably start setting the voltage up when your system starts showing signs of instability. However, you would probably want to set it up in the smallest possible increments.

sorry for the stupid but when you say fsb are you refering to the cpu clock speed?

No FSB is not your clock speed, although it is determined by it.
FSB x Clock ratio = clock speed
