It feels somewhat dumb to post this figuring this Mobo is supposed to be an overclocker's delight of options for even the stupid, but unfortunately I'm not sure where to start.
I'm an OC newbie (mostly due to fear of breaking my own expensive equipment.) I've built countless machines, but never OC'ed anything but :insert horrible pun here:.
Hopefully my attempt at humor has kept you reading so: My goal is to OC the processor to at least 3.0 ghz and get a 1:1 with the FSB at 1000MHz (or whatever's closest)
I know the board can handle it
I know the Q6600 can surpass 3.0 easy, i'd probably be comfortable with 3.2 max but I'm not water cooling (fear again)
I know the RAM is rated to handle DDR2 1000 i just need to up it.
Basically i need a kick (in the face) start guide on how to go about doing this, I want to do it in the BIOS if possible and not the Guru software to keep from as many issues as possible.
Inventory:
-Abit IP35 Pro mobo
-G.Skill DDR2 1000 (PC2 8000) RAM
-Intel Q6600 Quad Core CPU
-Smarts, but no balls
Thanks
