It has been a few years since my last upgrade so I figured now as the
time.

Reading here and and homebuilders I went with

MSI P6N SLI Platinum
EVGA 8800GTS 320
E6600 2.4GHz
Patriot DDR2 PC2-6400 -- Newegg had a sale
Scythe Ninja Cooler


Am in hour 2 of a 12 hour burn in with dual Prime95 running, and all
is great running at 3.4GHz, I did have it up to 3.6GHz but was getting
a few screen flashes/leftovers when I switched resolutions so switched
down to 3.4GHz and they are gone.
Running Vista Aero with default graphics out of the boxes I was
getting 5637 PCMarks05, in this state I am at 8183 PCMarks05.

Windows Experience Index is at
Processor: 5.7
Memory: 5.0 -- Need to figure out how to increase this
Graphics, Gaming Graphics: 5.9
Hard Drive: 5.2 -- But this is an old hard drive


Final Bios Settings ---

FSB:1510
Mem:800
Mult:9
CPU-V: +.1500
RAM-V:2.05
NB-V:1.35
SB-V:1.50
VTT:8%

CPU temperature has been in the 37-42C range.

I just bought the exact same components as your build from newegg, and
was wondering if you arrived at a completely stable OC.

I run intensive graphics apps, no games, and need stability 24/7. I
have a Seasonic M12, Antec p180b, and dual 150 Raptors (in RAID 1 -
for mission critical security for the work I do).

Do you have settings the will work on first boot, provide better
performance, and just as stable as stock speeds?

Any help as I build this rig this weekend would be greatly
appreciated!

If stability and security are so important to you, why are you trying
to OC?

A proper OC does not comprimise stability or security.

Reasonable people would disagree.

OK. I've overclocked every system I've built for myself (five total).
Does that count? Or are you the world's single expert on this
subject?

The very definition of overclocking is to operate a component beyond
it's rated capacity. Doing so introduces the *potential* of
instability. Reasonable people would find no reason to argue with
that.

I did *not* say that every overclock = an unstable system. I *did*
ask someone whose paramount concern was stability why they are
overclocking their system. It's a reasonable question (just as I
might ask someone who values their health why they smoke tobacco), but
I should have known that it would magically cause the trolls (who
would argue that the sun rises in the west if someone were to casually
mention otherwise) to appear from the woodwork that is Usenet.

Feel free to provide amusing anecdotes detailing how your overclocked
system pilots the space shuttle while simultaneously monitoring heart
patients.
