My mate has just bought the above and was wondering how you go about overclocking the chip in the bios to achieve about a 3ghz output.

I have the same chip and the EVGA 680i and it was very easy as at the time someone posted how to do it ;)

Any help out there? or a guide on how to?

Many thanks!
 
iirc 333mhz is 3.0ghz :)

And on mine once i got there I needed to up the voltage a notch but only by one selection above stock ( can't remember what one though)

At 3.2 I was at 1.45 vcore and that kept it stable till 3.4 which was my target anyway and that's at 377mhz fsb.

Don't go up in too big a segments, I tryed going up in 50mhz steps but it didn't like it at all and wouldn't post, but when I did it gradually by 10 or 20mhz it was fine.

But as everyone's cpu is different yours may be fine. Just experiment and watch your temps and see what happens :) good luck!
 
Before you do anything make sure you update the boards BIOS to the latest version. I had problems with my P5B Deluxe when clocking before I realised I hadn't updated the BIOS :)

The P5Bs tend to put out a lower VCore than what you have set, so wack it straight to 1.4V. Make sure your PCI is set to 33.33MHz and PCI-E is set to 100MHz.

Turn off any speedstep or throttling as they will interfere with the overclock.

Also make sure you have enough voltage going to your RAM. The board defaults to 1.8v vDIMM. Most RAM needs around 2.1V [check with the RAM first!].
 
cheers for the responses peeps twas my question

got it running at 3 which will do for now just by cranking up the fsb

half a degree flutter on temp 10 hours :D


when ive got more time gonna clock further properly ;)
