Hi
Okay, I finally got my new MOBO and Cooler. I'm very new to OCing, so I would appreciate any help. I've also gone online and did a bit of investigating on how to go about it. What I first want to accomplish it to get my CPU as high and stable as possible.
System Spec
Mother board: ASUS P5Q Pro; CPU: Intel Q9300; Cooler: ThermalRight Ultra 120 Extreme; RAM: Kingston 4GB; Display: ASUS 8800GTS
I’ve also have the following settings in the BIOS:
Ai Over clock Tuner: -------------------------- {Manual}
CPU Ratio Setting: ---------------------------- {7.5}
FSB Strap to north Bridge --------------------- {400}
DRAM Frequency ------------------------------ {AUTO}
DRAM Timing Control --------------------------- {Auto}
1st Information -------------------------------- 5-5-5-18-3-52-6-3
2nd Information -------------------------------- 8-3-5-4-6-4-6
3rd Information -------------------------------- 14-5-1-6-6
DRAM Static Read Control ---------------------- {Auto}
DRAM Read Timing ----------------------------- {Auto}
MEM Overclock Charger ------------------------ {Auto}
Ai Clock Twister -------------------------------------------- {Auto}
Ai Transaction Booster ------------------------- {Auto}
CPU Voltage ----------------------------------- {Auto}
CPU PLL Voltage ------------------------------- {Auto}
FSB Termination Voltage ----------------------- {Auto}
DRAM Voltage --------------------------------- {Auto}
NB Voltage ------------------------------------ {Auto}
SB Voltage ------------------------------------ {Auto}
PCIE Voltage ---------------------------------- {Auto}
Load line Calibration ---------------------------- {Auto}
CPU Spread Spectrum -------------------------- {Auto}
PCIE Spread Spectrum -------------------------- {Auto}
CPU Clock Skew -------------------------------- {Auto}
NB Clock Skew --------------------------------- {Auto}
CPU Margin ------------------------------------- {Optimized}
All I’ve changed so far is the first 3 settings. I’ve run it on prime for about half an hour and here are the results.

Few questions. I’ve read that you should first try and see how high you can take the North Bridge voltages before you touch the CPU vCore voltages. So where do I go from here?
