My first post, and before you all point me to the guides I have done nothing else but read and try them all for weeks.
My problem is this:-
My Q6600 is stuck at a FSB of 300x9(which it performs rock solid) 301 to 319 stuck on post screen and only clear cmos will work. At 320x9,8,7 or 6 has booted into windows a couple of times but usually locks(no mouse) or restarts. I have booted into windows at 333x9 and I thought i has sussed it but when I checked in cpu-z I was at stock 266x9.
321x9,8,7 or 6 upwards it will post fine but get a overclock failed screen cpu/memory which gives me the option to default or last known good config, I prefer this screen cos I am sick of clearing cmos.
The reason I ask am I the worst overclocker is that my fist system used an E6600 and Asus p5n-32sli se deluxe which I couldn't get past 2.7ghz. The southbridge chip died on that mobo so i got the Gigabyte GA-N650SLI-DS4 and fitted the same E6600 Which was still stuck at 2.7ghz, so that says to me must be a bad chip and not 2 poor mobo's. So I buy a Q6600 and guess what the same poor overclock. Now the only constant between the 2 systems now is my Corsair xmx2 800mhz c4 Ram which I have had in both, could this be my problem?. I have tryed everything I have read and don't get any further, have even considered getting a pro overclocker on it but don't know wher to go in the West Yorkshire area ( any suggestions?).
What ever other info you need just ask and i will post straight back.
Thanks for your time,
