I'm currently running on an ASUS P5E3 Deluxe (X38, DDR3).
I'm also running a Q6700 CPU.
I am running the CPU overclocked on a FSB of 333Mhz.
So my 2.66GHz CPU is currently running at 3.3GHz.
Now for as far back as I can remember I haven't actually overclocked my machine for a while.
However I do remember that in times of past, when overclocking the FSB you would want to lock the AGP & PCI slots to their correct frequency.
Overclock that CPU but overclocking the AGP or PCI BUS wasn't such a good idea.
Anyway - is that still something you need to do now?
I only ask as I've got the following settings on two BIOS features:
FSB Strap to North Bridge <Auto>
PCIE Frequency <Auto>
Now I've got a feeling with them set at auto and with my FSB increased from 266MHz to 333MHz then I maybe running more than just the CPU out of spec.
Does anybody know what the above two BIOS settings should be if I want to make sure everything else is running at stock/within spec?
