I just installed a new Zalman cooler on my CPU, it's now running at 37°C compared to 44°C on the stock fan. Cool. Now I went and updated ASUS's EPU-4 engine and AI engine to the latest version for my day-to-day underclocking needs (yes yes, I'm an tree-hugging idiot, stop bothering me).
I do however, feel the need for speed when certain games demand it. Since I'm not a fan of BIOS overclocking because the changes there are permanent, I'll be using the AI Booster+Fan Xpert to tweak the settings. What are the settings I should use to get my clockspeed from 3ghz to say, 3.5 ghz? Currently the CPU Freq. is at 333 while the ratio is 9.0 My RAM I think is underclocked at 800mhz, at least that's what CPUZ seems to say, I have no idea where to find out what it's actually operating at.
What should I be tweaking here to achieve the safest result? A good little-by-little guide would be helpful instead of the tweak-everything in most guides I have come across (not to mention being out-of-date.... 2005?oO).
