Well now that's not a very helpful post now is it? That's why we're all here. I suggest filling out your system specs so we know what you have and starting your own thread where we can answer your questions.

Hey everyone,

I need all your insights.... I have a chance to get a qx6850 for $239.99 now we all know this is a hot chip set... My questions is I could get a q9550 for $299.99. which one should I buy? the q9550 is 45nm does it really matter?

thanks,

acidburn

Hi everybody,

I'm new here and a beginner in overclocking. I'm stuck with a DP35DP and i tried using SetFSB to overclock it. Managed to bring the speed from 2666.8Mhz to 2731.5 Mhz. And also managed to bring up a few other things like my memory frequency and stuff like that. I know the speed increment is not much. But it's a big thing for me. My buddy overclocked his DP35DP by a mere 40Mhz and his PC went kaboom. I just need some advice. Should I continue overclocking it? If so, till what speed? And if it fails, what can I do? I can post up any sort of screenshot if it helps. I really need some advice here. Much appreciated. Thanks in advance.

Cheers,
Daniel

First to help prevent PC from going "keboom" replace that Intel heatsink with a much larger after market cooler.

Not familiar with your mobo, but don't use SetFSB if you able to set everything in your BIOS.

Runs your stress test like is says in post 1. Watch your temps. Go to Intel's site and see what they commend not exceeding for temps.

I can't find PCI/AGP/PCIe and stop unused PCI clock on my asus p5q deluxe motherboard anyone know where I can find it?

and should both CPU spread spectrum and PCI Spread sprectrum be disabled?

PizzaMan

I wouldn't worry about your PCI clock in the BIOS unless you are having issues with unstable GPUs.

Yes, turning off Spread Spretrum is a good idea while overclocking. Once you have eached a stable clock you can try turning it back one if you choose. The Spread Spectrum is on by default due to FCC regulations. If you notice interferrance with your sound card or maybe a radio reciever your might want to turn it on. Otherwise, there is really no need for it.

Hi guy's just joined this site... For obvious reasons of course, I hear you lot are all pro's

Anyway here is my sys spec:

Abit IN9 Max32
2 x 512mb BFG 8800 GTS in SLI
Q6600 2.4Ghz
BFG physicsX
2 x 1gig OCZ gold edition 800mhz
Antec 850w PSU
Vista32 home premium edition
All wrapped up in a Thermaltake Armor+ VH600LBWS w liquid Cooling

Problem is... Nothing is overclocked ha ha.. Well apart from my bfgs that come OC'ed anyway I'm not going to ask any questions now as i'm going to read all the guides first and have a go myself.. Well actually I've already attempted to over clock my cpu and got it to 3.1Ghz but it's about as stable as a house of cards in V5 finger of god twister.. My system boots fine but when I run 3Dmark06 or vantage she doesn't want to play and shuts off... Grrrrrr.. Reminds me of my missus actually, bit temprimental like

Anyway just want to shout a big Hi to you folks and will probably be asking some questions in time... As I don't want my house looking like the semi detached that was connected to chernobyl

Have a good one guys
