I just got this mobo and had it set up. everything is working normal... but i cant figure out how to work with this bios,

this is my first intel core 2 quad chip ( i never own a C2D chip either) so basicly i dont have any OC experience with Intel C2D CPU.

as i play around in the bios i see theres 3 option to overclock the CPU.

one is Link which Links the FSB with memory Speed. it can be 5:4 or 3:2 or 1:1. ( im not sure which i should set to if i use this)

the other one is manual. this one is pretty much you adjust your own FSB and memory Speed.

i try to do the manual and leave the memory at 800 mhz while increase the FSB ( the starting FSB in there was 1066 ) i try to do 1333 but when i save and reboot nothing changes CPU still running at 2.4ghz and when i go back to the setting FSB was reset back to 1066...

I tried to go higher like 1500 FSB for CPU while leaving memory at 800. i get a system hangs. i have to reset my cmos to get it boot up.

so pretty much im kind confuse with this bio here. im not sure what other setting i need to change inorder for overclocking..


also in the main menu of OC page. i have this setting call SLI memory ready setting
I can set it to 0% CPU OC up to 5% CPU OC. or MAX CPU OC or EXPERT.

im also clueless about this one as well i tried to use different type of SLI memory settinb but seems like is not helping..

Im currenting using intel Q6600 2.4ghz
OCZ SLI ready memory 4gb 2x1GB per pair Timming 5-5-5-15 DDR2 1066
OCZ Gamerextreme 700 PSU

( check my system spec for other parts)

Please help....

ok i tried with different setting and stuff the highest i got was only 2.6ghz stable. cant go any higher. i even try to raised the voltage to by 0.200 still no luck not even 10mhz increment.

im not sure why. but in the beginning i was able to go into window at 2.8ghz at FSB 1250 MHZ.
but now if i set it to 1220 system will hang. so highest i can get to is 1200 mhz at 2.6ghz. i think thats insanely low OC result for the money i sink on this new built.

but im still not having much better idea of if i put some setting wrong.

so i took some pictures so you guys might get a better idea of what setting i need to put in there.
This pic here is for the SLI memory Configure, im kinda clueless which setting i should use or should i disable it ( i have OCZ SLI ready memory with EPP ready DDR2 1066 5-5-5-15
