Hey guys..

I just decided to start overclocking my Q6600 CPU. I have read a few guides, about overclocking, but when I open my BIOS it just looks strange and not alike the pictures from the guides.

I will just show you some pictures of what it looks like:




Spec:
CPU 775 CORE2 QUAD Q6600 2.4 GHz FSB1066 2x4MB
MB ASUS SKT775 P5N32-E SLI AiLifestyle Series / NV
RAM 4096 MB DDR2 PC2-6400 CORSAIR XMS2 DOMINATOR 8

My CPU fan:


Thats about it. I hope that you guys can help me out.

First set date and time, take AI tuning off auto and set to manuel, that will open up a bunch of other options for overclocking.

I don't think that helps..

Try the overclocking and overvoltage options. I'm pretty sure that board can overclock

Hey I just made two new pictures of the overclock and overvoltage. The problem is that I don't understand the overclock menu. I don't know where to change the multiplier..

Lysdal

Anyone?

In the FSB:MEM section :
change the fsb from auto to manual.
Put your FSB at 333.
Make sure actual RAM reads at 667MHz that means its running at 1:1 FSB:RAM ratio.

Now for the Overvoltage section:
Vcore voltage = 1.40volts.
Memory Voltage = 2.0 Volts
NB Voltage = 1.35 Volts
SB voltage = leave at auto
CPU VTT = 1.35 volts

System Clocks section:
Leave as it is.

After this SAve settings to you BIOS and reboot your system.

Also I need to know what ram you are using. What manufacturer its from and what the timings are on the sticker.

Downlaod programs such as Prime 95, Core Temp, Speed Fan , Cpu-Z run and install them. Take picutres of CPu-z and start testing with Prime 95. Do both small FFT and Blend Tests with it.

This is the RAM that I use

In the memory timing tab make sure u have something like 5-5-5-18
Also in your voltages section instead of 2.0 volts for the memory put 1.8 volts.

Also try disabling the Spread spectrum option under the memory timing.

Now reboot with all the settings I've told you.

Run prime 95. Hopefully u will be stable.
