Hi my name is Scott from LA. This is my first post from a sometime lurkiing. So I apology if I might be off line and seems ignorant.
Well I've been trying and doing some major research trying to see if this boar d and Q6600 that I have is Over Clockable. So far no luck. I don't know if it's a memory or other thing that I have. I did find some strange things as I am experimenting. First, any FSB increase will have bios reset to defaults. I tried to adjust RAM timing and still can not increase FSB. here is a general info of my machine.
1. Q6600 CPU. (suppose to able to OC no problem)
2. Memory Corsair DDR2 PC2-6400 800mhz. 2gbx2 (WINXp only let me use 2.5)
3. Gigagabyte GA31M-ES2L
4. Vised Card MSI NX8400GS 512MB (Not a gamer I know)
5. 500Watt Power Supply.
Here something I found something strange most of the forum says make a video card to 100mhz when you want to OC so I just change video frq to 100mhz instead leaving it at "auto" behold, bios reset to default. So I'm thinking is it cause my video card? Oh tried using Easytune Pro 5 I could increase upto 2.6ghz stable but 2.7ghz will lock up.
I'm going to try to put up a CPUZ photo of my rig
