On this, the second to last day of our System Builder Marathon series, we add a $500 gaming PC to the mix. It's not going to be as quick as our other two builds, but we think Paul was able to get some serious value from this thing. Read more

Hi. I have recently been told that I can overclock a QX9770/Dominator 1600 setup to 3.6 by simply changing the cpu multiplier to 9 from 8. Seems reasonable to me, but is this right? They also said might want to up the voltage slightly, but didn't say what that was.

The reason I want to do this is I like the CPU, and I just want 3.6. Would be using probably either a Scythe Ninja Copper or Thermalright 120 Extreme with it.

Thanks.

Yes, as long as the bus speed is at 400

That sounds good. You don't think any changes would have to be made to voltages or anything? Thanks.
