First overclock with e6600 & P5N-e Sli

Guy · 24 Nov 2007 at 14:00

Hello, i've just tried my hand at overclocking the FSB and i only managed to get it from 1066 to 1166, after which my computer, when restarted won't go to the first screen to get into the bios.

Any ideas, i'm a total n00b at overclocking btw

I have the same cpu and mobo, and I read in a lot of reviews this mobo is crap for overclcoking. the northbridge gets way too hot for stable overclocks.

Man that sucks, i heard that my motherboard was good at overclocking

The P5N-E should be grand for dual-core overclocking.

Did you unlink your memory to stop it being overclocked with your CPU?

i'm pretty sure i did, i'll check now

I hear it's good for clocking if done right, add some good cooling and try again

get a new northbridge cooler, or strap a fan to it, see how it handles..

Memory Clock Mode = Unlinked

its great for overclocking dual core, have a look at the thread on it for a great overclocking guide.

make sure you have speedstep disabled as that can cause it to crash when overclocking

where about is that in the bios?
