Hi, i'm still new to overclocking.
FYI, i just started to learn overclocking today and i successfully made it to 3ghz as the picture below shows.
But what i saw in this forum, is way too better than mine, they can get even 4ghz, i know there's something to do with the ratio for dram and fsb.
but my fsb jsut can't go any higher. FYI, i'm currently using ASUS p5k se/epu and what i use to overclock is a software from the mobo called AI Suite, it contains a feature called AI Booster to set the settings i want and i can make it to 3ghz but not any higher.
So can someone teach me how can i get my FSB or Dram frequency higher so that i can get a higher core speed for my Q6600?
or i'm totally messed up the point -.- ( means what i said is not correct at all ) if it is , please correct me. If you can teach me how to do it in BIOS for the settings for DRAM or FSB will be great =) . So all the sifus out there, please help me out thanks. Or someone can give me a simple tutorial website for overclocking will do so, but the best is teaching me here, cause i search google for few days but still can't get it clear -.-

and my temp is only around 26'c is it counted as low and telling me that i can go higher overclocking?
i got 4 fans and one hsk coolermaster mars.

PLEASE, I NEED MY PROCESSOR TO BE OVERCLOCKED WELL !!! HELPPP MEEEEE
THE FURTHER I CAN GO THE HAPPIER I AM. PLEASE HELP ME SIFUSSSS

Its depend on your mobo...if your mobo can only support till 3ghz then you can oc till 3ghz only.

just ask in the existing threads..u dun hv to open a new one

why not go to the bios to tweak instead of doing it with the softwre? u might be able to oc further in bios...

State your specs clearly including RAM, PSU and all.

I'd recommend to use BIOS to OC your proc one by one. Get familiar with the BIOS first and all the monitoring and streesing software to test your proc once it is OCed.

And another thing, I don't think 4Ghz is a good thing to run 24/7 even IF you can reach that high.

FYI, i do on my pc 24/7 almost i guess
here's my rig
Kingston 4GB RAM 800
HEC True Power PSU 500w
asus p5k se/epu mobo
Q6600 processor cooled by Coolermaster Mars
i got 4 fans, without air-cond the highest temp for oc to 3.0ghz is almost 35'c ( never that high before, just a predictions ) on air-cond i can lower till 22'c
This is my rig, please help me =(
and one more thing, can anyone give me a hand on BIOS settings? i searched over google but all those tutorial is not that clear.
Like how to set the dram frequency etc...
Please do give a website or type it here if you can.
I'll appreciate a lot. Thanks

35c temp is idle or load? i'm guessing it's idle. you should really check out your load temp by stressing the processor using prime95.
and for bios setting, just disable every spread spectrum settings and features which will hinder your overclock like intel speedstep, EIST, C1E, thermal control, etc.
overclock using your FSB. your Q6600 default is 266 FSB and 9 multiplier so 266x9.
just increase the FSB until windows cant boot. and try increasing vcrore by small increments. hope this helps

Refer this to the Q6600 thread, there's no need to create another new thread.

ahaks...cant stop lol with dis statement...
dude, grow up!!!
