Hi guys. I'm in the midst of my first overclock and have run into a bit of a conundrum. I can't see to get my board to accept any of the settings I throw at it. I've read up quite a bit on OC'ing thanks to some great guides and threads on the subject. Alas, my board is throwing me for a loop.
Here's the specs:
GA-P35-DS3R
Q6600 Rev B3 (kept loose to 5-5-5-15)
4GB G.Skill PC6400
Scythe Ninja Cooler
Bios F12f
It doesn't seem to accept any of my FSB or voltage settings. I've tried gradually stepping up to no avail. CPU-Z does see changes to my multiplier and changes to my RAM. It seems perpetually stuck at 267.
I've seen a few other people with similar problems. Generally clearing the CMOS seems to do the trick. No luck here.
I've also seen people say that their USB external drive was causing issues. I've unplugged everything but no luck.
I have also ensured that every protective, hand-holding setting in BIOS I could turn off is off.
Anyone have any ideas? Anything I could post to help deduce the problem?
Thanks!
