My rig:
CPU: E8400 dual core
Ram: ddr2 - 2x667 & 2x800 - 2gb ea.
Mobo: P5QL PRO
GPU: gtx750
PSU: not sure, at least 400w
Cooler: stock air (which i'm fine with. i'm monitoring temps and if i get into the danger zone i'll back off)
The highest i can achieve is:
FSB: 400
CPU voltage: 1.325
PCIE: 100
Multiplier / Ratio: 9
every thing else set to auto
I can't find anything that explains what my problem area is. I've seen other rigs achieve 4Ghz but i can't get stable enough to even boot above 3.6Ghz. Do you have any suggestion? I'm mostly interested in leaning about the relationship between components and I am not afraid to read, the way some posters seem to be. My problem is: I don't know where to start. I ether find info that's way over my head or not explained well. I would love to be able to understand why things do or don't work. Not just told: "set this to that and set that to this and you should be fine." Just an ol' dog trying to learn some new tricks. ugh, my cpu that is...
