Hi! So, I'm trying to overclock a Q9400 cpu with a Asus P5Q-EM DO motherboard, but it doesn't really want to work. The most I could get is 340*8 FSB (333*8 is the default), anything beyond that and it won't boot, after restarting the pc I get the "overclocking failed" message.
Tried it with lower and higher DRAM frequencies, cpu volts from 1.225 to 1.325, nb from 1.2 to 1.4, ram from 1.8 to 2, but nothing seems to work. I have C1e disabled, speed step option is automatically disappears after setting the multi to a certain value (so i guess it's disabled), spread spectrums are disabled as well. Already installed the latest BIOS. Any idea?
RAM: 4x2 GB CSX 800MHz
