I'm unable to overclock my CPU with Easytune.

I was cleaning the dust out of my computer and I apparently bumped something, and when I restarted the computer, it automatically reset to default settings. Now when I tried to overclock using Easytune 5, I can't click on the "Overclock" button. It is unselectable. I then updated my BIOS and installed Easytune 6, and I still have the same problem. I can't select the "tuner" tab or the "Smart" tab in easytune 6.

Is there something I need to change in the BIOS in order to allow overclocking again???

I also overclocked the FSB to 438 in the BIOS, but in windows its only showing 333, something isn't communicating apparently.

Thanks!!!

-Kurt

I believe there is a setting in the bios you need to enable to use easytune. Take a gander in there and see what you can find.

Also make sure you use the CTRL+F1 keystroke once you enter the bios, Gigabyte requires you to do that keystroke before you can start making overclocking changes.

Start out small, step your way up.
I would slightly overvolt your RAM if you are filling up 4 slots.
I would also up the bus speed to match the RAM to a 1-1 ratio for starters.
The E6750 should handle a 400mhz bus with no problem with no or minimal voltage increases.

I tried using bios also, neither are working.

I looked and read the manual, nothing has worked.

You can make overclocking changes to your CPU without the CTRL+F1. CTRL+F1 just opens more options for overclocking RAM.


The root of my problem is that since I cleaned the dust out of my comp and it jumped back to default, none of the overclocking changes I've been making in BIOS have taken effect.

In these pictures you can see that the BIOS and Easytune or CPUID don't match.

Hmmm, sounds like there is a chance the BIOS chip was injured slightly when you blew out the dust - just a idea.

I trust you have reset the CMOS? If not then DO THAT IMMEDIATELY.
