Just the relevant bits then.

AMD X2 4400+ (Socket 939)
Gigabyte K8N Pro-SLI motherboard
2GB Corsair DD400 XMS Pro RAM (you know, the memory modules with the LEDs)

I don't think the rest of it makes that much difference. (If I'm wrong, flame me and call me a noob, and I'll post the rest up.)
You're a noob :lol:

Give us all your specs! PSU is very important when it comes to overclocking btw :wink:

Wait, what?!

Ok, your CPU should be running at 2GHz (I think). So first things first. in your bios reduce your HTT multiplier to 4x default should be 5x. Then lock your PCI-E / PCI bus to default speeds (I hope your mobo can do this). Then lower your memory multiplier by one setting(again, I don't know what your mobo can do). Then if all that is sorted out push your FSB to 250 which should get your CPU running at 2.5GHz (all Athlon CPU's reach this easily). If you want to push further you'll need more Vcore voltage and further reduce the HTT multiplier and maybe even the ram, as I don't know what timings / frequencies your memory can do.
It actually runs at 2.2, but I'll use your advice. Thanks. :D

AOpen 700W.

(Seeing as this thread is no longer relevant to modding and is more applicable to cooling and overclocking, I'd be grateful for someone to move it to the relevant section.)

In that case, set your fsb to 225, and work your way up from that.
