I've got an issue with my system, not sure if this should be in here or overclocking thread because its a bit of both.
I've been using my board to overclock my Q6600 to 2.8ghz, and i've been having temp issues, i've got the temp stable now, but I posted another thread and people said my cooler probably wasn't on tight enough, I tightened it, reset my bios to defaults and then it wouldn't let me overclock my processor. 4 resets of the bios and 1 clear of the bios later, it still wouldn't work. In frustration I left it alone for 10 mins came back, re put in the settings and it worked fine, and has been stable ever since!
I'm just concerned that something might be going wrong somewhere? Any ideas or opinions would be greatly appreciated.
