i have just purchased an asus maximus extreme, did have it on windows xp then changed to vista last night, but since i first put it together the bios seems to overclock everything on its own, im not an overclocker, just a gamer, i have never really played around with the bios on any of my systems, now i am running the following
the clock speeds are setup defaults
Asus Maximus Extreme water cooled
Intel core 2 quad extreme Q6800 2.93ghz @(3.21ghz) water cooled
2gb crucial ballistix 1600mhz @(1603mhz)
xfx 8800GTS 640mb, running standard clocks
2x500gb sata 2.0 seagates i think, im at work so cant check
1x sata lite on dvd/cd dual layer writer
okay the problem as you can see the processor is @ 3.21ghz and there is 3 led's on for the level up function at the top right of the board, also the latency are running fine now but if i try to change the processor in bios to Q6800 the memory speed goes down to approx 751mhz and the latenceys change
if i try changing the memory to 1600mhz the processor reads @ 3.4ghz
and the latencys change again i normally just change the basics in bios and away i go
dont get me wrong everything is running fine on vista, was hanging on login screen on xp, 3dmark 06 on basic settings was approx 10360
ran for a short time with everything on full and everything run smooth
i just dont like the idea of overclocking things, i dont mind if it is running fine but can this damage the processor, mem etc?, does anyone have any idea how to change the settings, the bios has been updated and nothing changed, any help would be much appreciated.
Sorry for spam, i did accidently post the same question as a reply to someone elses problem
