Asus P5B SE overclocking q6600 quad

Does anyone have this mobo?

The bios it shipped with only gives the option for overclock profiles of 5,10,15,and 20% on the processor.

Ive set it to 20% before but didnt notice much of an improvement on benchmarks so set it back to standard.

Now if I pick 10% or more and save bios it posts that overclock failed and resets it back to previous setting.


I dont know if a newer bios flash will give me more overclocking options or not???

I would like to get a nice aftermarket cpu cooler and get the processors cores running @ or close to 3ghz per core.

I found an overclocking guide for the p5b deluxe but cantfind any info for the p5bse that i have.

I plan on getting an ATI 5870 vid card but want to make sure my cpu isnt a bottleneck.

Also running 4 bg of supertalent pc2-6400u ddr2-800 @ 5.5.5.15

will this ram be ok or should i upgrade?

thanks
