Can't OC you PSU AKAIK. But to overclock you ram you need to raise your FSB and change the timings in the BIOS

PSU overclocking?

Apparently, I'm underqualified for this thread.

My basic advice, judging from your knowledge level is that you do NOT attempt to OC at this point. Spend some time educating yourself first.

I'm relatively new at overclocking, but it seems to me that if your CPU overclock is stable you should just leave it as it is. If however you want to increase your CPU OC, you should do that first. When it starts to become unstable in something like Prime95 you should start to gradually loosen the timings on your RAM. What timings are you using now? Mine is set at AUTO at 2325 1T and no overclock. Maybe someone who understands timings can explain in more detail.

Study this article carefully. Also, the diagrams truly ARE worth 1,000 words.
