Well I'm pretty new to OCing, but I think I have some of the basics down. I have OCed my e6300 recently, to 400 fsb = 2.8 ghz. It runs perfectly stable, but I want more OC. Id like to reach 3 ghz if possible, which would be around 430 fsb, which to me doesnt seem too rediculous. I have the Asus p5W DH Deluxe motherboard, and 1 gig of Corsair XMS2 cas 4 ddr2-800 ram. I dont know whether it uses the microns or the promos. However, I cant get much above 400 fsb. At 415 it says Overclocking or Overvoltage failed. My vcore is at 1.360, and im running a 1:1 ratio. Is there anything else I can do to give me more OCing room?
Also, my timings are pretty awful right now, though im not entirely sure what they are. My mobo wont post if I change them from Auto. Even if i set them to 6-6-6-18, they wont post. I would like to be able to lower these, but i dont see what i can do if i cant even change them.
