Well I hope someone can help me with this problem. I finaly got myself a better CPU fan and felt like doing some overclocking. I basicaly followed post #2 here: http://forumz.tomshardware.com/hardware/time-overclocker-975xbx2-e6600-ftopict215907.html to get to 3.00ghz (all I really wanted for now anyway) and it worked well. The only problem is that when booting up my system the mobo will tell me that it failed to post and to either retry or to enter the bios. When I do go into the bios the ram has changed it's speed back up to 667mhz from the 533mhz I set. Everything is set to defaults other than the ram speeds (but those dont save most of the time) and then the FSB is set to 333.
The wierd part is that sometimes it works, other times it will fail to post. I have also tried to run the FSB at the default of 266 and then setting the ran at 533, and it stays at the 533mhz. But when I go into the system and speed the FSB back up to 333 the bios fails to post.
Anyway, here are my specs:
Intel E6600 @3.00ghz with Zalman 9700LED
Intel d975xbx2 "badaxe" mobo
Sapphire x1950xt 256mb
OCZ 667mhz gaming ram (http://www.tigerdirect.ca/applications/SearchTools/item-details.asp?Sku=O261-8032)
Ultra X-Finity 600w PSU
Seagate 320gig 7200rpm HDD
