I'm having trouble overclocking on a gigabyte ga-8n-sli mobo. In the bios there's a setting - MIT. I was wondering - this is my first time overclocking so please excuse any noob questions.

Thanks cob - okay, I'll look into speed step - is it a good idea to turn it off?

I'll continue pushing it up and post how I get on.

Thanks again.

yas. stable 3ghz oc. Thanks for the help. Still have speedstep running, cant quite figure out how to turn it off.

Should i push this overclock further? I'm upgrading to a gtx 275 shortly and had read from other posts that my q6700 at 2.4ghz would act as a bottleneck unless I oc'd it.

Thanks again for the help - this is maybe the third time i've posted on the forums and each time i've had a great response.

Cheers,
