Hello,

My motherboard just fried and I replaced it with a Asus P5Q Pro and I lost all my OC settings that I had setup in a previous board. I haven't done any real ocing in a couple years and I was wondering if anyone could give me a hand with what to input into the Asus P5Q board to OC my Conroe E6400 to around 3-3.2ghz. I took a look at it yesterday but the asus board just has a ton more options then my last mobo did.

CPU: E6400
Ram: 4gb of A-Data ddr2 800 5-5-5-18
Cooler: Big orb (forget name but massive blue orb)
Card: 8800 gts 512

I appreciate any help.

Should be pretty easy as your Mb can run FSB 1600 naively.

Change in the BIOS:

FSB to 400Mhz
Memory's speed and voltage set to factory specs, leave the timings on auto
CPU voltage bumped to 1.35v or so
leave everything else on auto

Test for stability with prime95 in windows.
If it fails, add a little more voltage to the CPU up to a max of 1.5v.

Hello. I bought the exact same MB and I have the same Cpu and a cood cooling. Did that settings worked for you? What was the Cpu speed in the end?
Thanks in advance.
