before you do all this i would have a read of the sticky on overclocking for beginners in the overclocking section. It's good to have an idea what you are doing when you fiddle with the bios settings.

BTW the text colours in your post make it very difficult to read without highlighting it. Stick with white - nice and easy to read.

PC specs are 1/3 the battle. You also need 1/3 knowledge and 1/3 luck imo

The Culprit is MOTHERBOARD: Gigabyte GA945P-S3 Socket 775 FSB 1066mhz


You need a 965 chipset to get decent clocks as most near enough all 945 chipsets max out at 300 FSB.

That just aint a overclocking mobo.

I suggets getting a 650i of DS3 instead.
