OK I have the following setup:

System navn:
CPU: Intel Core2Duo E4300 @ 1800 Mhz
CPU Cooler: Scythe Infinity
Motherboard: Gigabyte GA-P965-DS3P Rev 2.0
RAM: A-DATA PC2-6400, 2x1024
GPU: Club3D Radeon HD 5850 PCI-Ex16
PSU: Rasurbo GAP 656 650W
Audio: Crative Labs xFi titanium PCI-E
Kabinet: Aerocool T40
Kabinet køler: FSP BLue Storm 500W

in BIOS the following is set and is the stock setup:

Speed: 200
Mulitplier: 9x
vCore: Auto

This gives me an FSB of 400 and a CPU clock of 1.8 Ghz

Here is where my brain locks up. If I lower the multiplier and increase the speed (multiplier can be from 6-9) to increase the clock, what happens when the FSB tries to go over 400? Will it throttle itself down, reset to 200 or fail to boot and force me to do a BIOS reset?

and as far as I can get from the links above it may be that my FSB can actually run at 800 (meaning BIOS speed can be set to 400)

What about the vCore? Should I keep it at auto or will I have to manually increase it?

from various guides I've seen this model CPU have been run stable at speed in excess of 3.2 Ghz with a cooler smaller than mine (ran 2.7 with stock cooler) So if I am guessing right about FSB being able to run 800 I should be able to get to the 2.7-3.0 mark without placing any real stress on my components, as it seem all I have them on are the BIOS default settings...

help needed and appriciated...Can supply Everest screenshots from any panel needed.
