Got it! Tried removing all the ram but 1 stick, neither of the blue slots it would post, so i put the ram in the white slot, one stick posted, 2 sticks posted, 3 stricks posted! Look's like the white slot's are the ticket. Already cleared CMOS also.

Just tried OC'ing the Q6600. I'm confused at the BIOs. Whats the relation between FSB and clock speed?

Obviously FS x Multiplier does not equal clock speed, because FSB is 1066, multiplier is 9 and clock speed is 2.4Ghz.

Also, further below, why is CPU voltage at 0.0000?

Set it to 1600 for a 400mhz fsb and 1333 for 333mhz. 1800 for 450 fsb.

You seem to be having better luck than I, mine seems to only post sporaticly, and then doesn't like to boot into windows.

I have seriously just about had it with Gigabyte.

Memory and the chip are the same from the last setup some of the parts were recycled from, and they were both 24/7 stable, it also doesn't explain the sporadic POST.

IIRC with that board, you have some OC settings pre-loaded in the BIOS so start with that and tweak your settings once you get a stable run. I suggest you start at 3.6Ghz and work your way up

This is an excellent guide to OC'ing the 920. Explains what to do and the mechanisms behind everything.

yeah i was confused on that also. Basically 0.00000 is your VID. +.250 is added that much voltage. I think for 3.6 i had to add +2.75V to be completely stable while folding at 3.6. I could use less voltage in any other task but then with folding i had to add more. Also i noticed that the NB and VTT FSB voltage needed alot. I just maxed those out as temps were fine on the board but i also had a 40mm fan mounted on the NB.

That board needs quite a bit of voltage for OC's but as long as temps are good it's fine.

Just got done doing some p90x and i need to play some black op's! I've been dying to play the game and now that my rig is finished, i need to play a couple rounds of zombies quick. Ill try OC'ing a little later or may just try tomorrow. I'll see how tired i am later

It feels good to be on a good rig again! Im just hoping my PSU will handle everything. I have loaded the cpu 100% but not either graphics card and the CPU yet.
