Noob overclocker

[TheRealDeal]

Ok trying to oc my e6600 on my asus p5w dh deluxe mobo. Program
i am using is ai booster. Said on a web site all i needed to do was set my
fsb to 333 and vcore to 1.45 which should give me a overclock to 3ghz
which it did when machine rebooted but it then dropped to 2.9ghz and fsb
showed as 322.7. I have tried running programs just to see if it was a down
step in the core but it stayed the same. The memory i am using is 2gb
Corsair DDR2 XMS2-6400C4 TwinX put my core upto 1.4625 not gonna push it
up any more atm but i have a feeling thats prob what i need to do. Last thing
my multiplier is still set to 9. Any help would be appreciated.

Seems to have fixed itself

would be better to overclock from the bios iv never liked programs in windows that overclock.

you never seem to get the full FSB that you set.

So a 400fsb will generally bea bout 399.86 or something like that.

Was pretty wierd though i cranked up my fan to performance mode and it
made my fsb to what i had set and my core went to over 3ghz so maybe
it was a slight step down until the system wanted the extra power.
