Alright, I've finally put together my computer here, and i'm looking to overclock. I have never overclocked before, and reading around, even help is still explained like the person knows what they are doing. I don't need to become an overclocking genious, but if you could walk me through this rig, that would be awsome
I've got...
Asus p5n-d 750i Mobo
Intel q6600
4 GB DDR2 800 Ram
Nvidia 9800 GTX+ 1gb
Also, Noctua NH-u12 and Coolermaster stacker 830, so i have the cooling covered.
I've looked over the Large thread regarding the mobo and cpu, and i have attempted to overclock using that small guide and numbers, but what happens is it wont boot into windows.
I have also noticed that even though my RAM is made as 4-4-4-12, that my bios has put it as 5-5-5-15. Evidently this is a normal problem with the p5n-d. But I haven't the foggiest idea how to go about fixing that.
I have updated my bios to the latest version, I have windows 7 aswell, if that matters. I'm using Prime95 for stress tests, Core temp for temps and CPU-Z.
I would like to squeeze as much power out of this machine as possible, so if you all could give me a helping hand I would be much appreciated.
