I have the P5N-E SLI and a Q6600 (G0) I have no idea where to start with over clocking (all stock cooling) any advise?

[xtascox]

My Q6600 arrived today (with G0 stepping of course)

I'll see what it can do later tonight.

Any ideas?

Your cpu cannot go any higher than the x9 multiplier. You need an extreme cpu with an unlocked multiplier to go higher than stock multiplier. However, you can go lower.

You probably have intel speedstep and/or c1e enabled. Disable them in the bios and your multiplier will stay the same always.

I went back and checked and rebooted. I got my FSB OC but my multiplier went down again. I don't know. I will wait for my HS and memory and try again.

Hello
I am new, retired and live in Alabama. Divorced and live alone except for the rotti. I am trying to learn more about building computers and over clocking.. I have built this one but still learn new things daily.
I do have several question to ask, stupid as they may be. I am running OC now at 3150. Seems when I try going higher I find stability problems. So it is a work in progress.
My first question at this moment is about he bios. I was told by ASUS to use the 1301 bios which keeps telling me the bios failed when booting at times and have to go in and just use the CMOS profile I have saved. Is there another beter bios to run? Any sugestions?
Thanks in advance

What do ya'll think of Asus Probe. It gives a warning that my cpu is running hot at 75 C at no OC, bios set to default. By the way CCA, I am from Alabama too.

I've been running 1201 for a little while now with no problems. If you are having issues with 1301, it wouldn't hurt to try an older revision.
