I am trying to overclock an Intel Q6600 to 3Ghz, on an Asus P5N32-E Sli Plus. I am currently running the latest BIOS update 1003. I have looked everywhere in the BIOS and i dont seem to have an option to change the CPU Frequency!? Please someone help me. I will get some pics of the menus and options i have avalible.

Uhhh, to change the CPU frequency, FSB memory clock mode to Manual.

Remember, its the CPU multiplier x FSB to get a speed. (Divide QDR by 4 for the FSB value.)

So 3.0 Ghz speed, you'd need to change the QDR to 1333. (333 FSB) So thats 333 x 9 = 2997 Mhz.

Make sure you also, in the same area of the bios, you change the FSB Memory Ratio to sync mode. This will make your RAM run with the FSB.

Sync mode will mean that each stick per channel is running at the FSB speed for a total of double the FSB.

Its all in the second to last screen shot you took.

Last thing.. down load and run either core temp, or real temp, and look for the VID, then list it here, please??

Thanks!

ok im going to up the vcore too 1.35v and change the FSB to 1333, and you want me to run the RAM in linked (synced) mode? I will look for my VID as soon as possible.
