I m new to the OC world. I read few articles and did some R&D on my system. I was able to move upto 3.2Ghz from 2.8 on stock cooler without playing with volts (frankly i dont know how to tweak them:)). I changed both fsb and multiplier [215X15]. I was surprised that cpu temps reached max 46C after stress test and hours of crysis on enthusiast mode. I am not planning to buy cpu cooler for next couple of months. Would it be right for me to try clocking up further with stock cooler - may be upto 3.4Ghz?

Also, my RAM is DDR3 1333Mhz and after raising FSB, AOD shows RAM freq as 718Mhz. does it mean 718X2 = 1436 for DDR3 or its just 718Mhz. Pls suggest me if i have gone wrong somewhere.
 
^^what's ur GPU?? and are u gaining any performance on ur system by OC? If not, then just OC for fun and for personal record, dont 24x7 them
 
GPU - GTX 275. I think CPU at stock could be a bottleneck for my GPU.

Its difficult to perceive any difference in performance though:S, even after an increase of 400Mhz... its only seen in benches.
