I am thoroughly confused on the overclocking. I perviously owned a DFI Lanpart UT Ultra-D and OCed my AMD X2 3800 to 2.6, and the overclocking options were obvious and clear. But as for this P5N-E and a Core 2 Duo E6300, it's a whole new ball game. the options are to change the FSB (stock is 1066), and there is a linked and unlinked option. Confuses the hell out of me, as I don't see a CPU Frequency option, just the FSB. I'm not sure, but as I remember, you add some numbers involving the RAM speed and the CPU frequency and you get your FSB, but I don't remember how that goes entirely.
I am using a Core 2 Duo E6300, 2 GB GeIL DDR2 800 4-4-4-12 (Micron D9G chips), and the P5N-E SLI motherboard.
So, when I change the FSB (it says "FSB [QDR] MHz: 1066"), I am dividing the number by 4 to get the true FSB number? Could one of you overclocking gurus explain what numbers to change to get to 3 GHz and what math formula needed to figure out my CPU's frequency? Much appreciated
