R3D · Post by **R3D** » 07 Jun 2008, 04:36

Eh ive got a Q6600 (newest one "slckr" i think) asus P5N-D

Now i cant get a higher oc than 2.6ghz at 11** FSB.

I want a 3.2 Ghz 1600FSB....

Ive tried upping the volts of the cpu and NB to 1.4 and 1.52.

Now i dont want any hectic volts cause i want to run it 24/7.

Ive got 9700 zalman.

I have reached 3.2Ghz once but 3dmark06 ran only for 3min then BSOD.

any help will be great

Drop your multi to 8 x 400 and you will have 3.2ghz. Thats how i get 3.2 on my Q6600.

Also whats your ram running @ ? What volts u giving it ?

im runnning my ram at stock 667mhz @ 1.850v

I did once get a 3.2ghz long enough to run 3dmark06 hence the 12300 i got on it.

The last run i got was 13800

In the bios you should see a option called Jumperfree configuration (or something like that) and also see an option where the cpu is controlled automatically no matter what options you choose...

i can't remember what it is called now, but it's there... if that's on, then you can't overclock at all...

yeah i set it to manual overclocking and then set the FSB and ram mhz manually aswell as the voltage of the cpu, ram, nm, sb and pcie
