nTune issues or maybe im wrong

[paintballwizzx]

Hey all, I am kind of a newbie on overclocking, I have a few questions though. I am using nTune and Ntune monitor to overclock. I have 680I SLi MOBO, and Q6600 at stock right now. 2gig corsair ram 800 Whenever I adjust the FSB even just a little above stock 2.4 My cpu core, fsb and memory all go red in the monitor, (meaning unstable or component failure.) I have tried overclocking the same way in the bios, adjusting just a little and then load up windows and see that its in the red again... HELP? thanks
Josh

Its not a good idea to overclock within windows, an even worse idea using nTune. While there are utilities than OC within windows just fine, I would not advise trusting anything nTune tells you, infact just dont use it at all.

so should i Ignore the red, your system is unstable and component failure warning???

I wouldnt ignore it lol...but at the same time I wouldnt trust it, if that makes any sence. Read some of the overclocking guides up here since you are new to it, and like I said before please avoid using nTune to be on the "safe" side.

First off, use the bios to OC.

Your MB has some great things to allow easy overclocking.

First, unlink the memory and FSB.

More voltage is required for the cpu, ram, and the northbridge. That nvidia chipset likes at least 2.05 volts on the ram, 1.45v on the northbridge, and around 1.4 on the cpu.
