hey everyone.
Im on an ASUS p5G41C-M LX board with a Q6600 cooled by a Thermaltake Jing. I've got 8gb DDR3 mixed ram, one 4gb A-RAM stick and one Kingston 4GB stick.
i'm able to get to 2.88ghz using the auto OC features on the board, but i want this Q6600 at 3.2ghz at least, cos it's holding back my GTX560 Ti.
i tried putting the fsb up to 330mhz without changing any voltages or memory settings and the board wouldn't post and after a couple tries returned to default settings. im completely new to manual overclocking, any pointers would help
here's some pics of the bios and CPUz
