thanks.

Do want to raise or lower the multiplier?

bluemax · 8 Oct 2008 at 21:13

to raise, i installed the Q6600 2.4 but bios is set to 200 and 6 so my actual frequency is a mear 1.2! and the multiplier is "grayed out" so i cant raise it to 266?

Can you change the CPU OPERATING SPEED in the BIOS from Auto Detect, I am just looking at the manual online.

bluemax · 8 Oct 2008 at 21:27

i didn't find any auto detect settings in bios to do with cpu auto detect all i could find was the ddr settings, the manual which was supplied with board is useless!

Does the BIOS have an area like the one below:

Do you have the latest BIOS installed? Q6600 requires version 10

May also want to reset the CMOS with the jumper to restore defaults

Looks like from the ABIT web site thats the only BIOS :confused:

I assume I have the right motherboard :eek:

yeah you got right motherboard????? so if that pic is right why does my bios not look like that?

RJC · 8 Oct 2008 at 22:11

Sorry, that's from the IG-81

Can't see the your one on the Abits website.
But do you have a screen simular which shows the option to overclock!
Is it possible to take a picture and post.

Get this ive just re-flashed bios with ver 10 and now bios is reading 2.4ghz and a multipler of 9???? but i still cant get to change the settings manually??????

p.s. this is my first time on ere how do you upload pics? lol HELP :confused:

Use Imageshack or photobucket, up load the picture then they will provide a link which you copy and paste to your post.

Least your running at correct speed and multplier which is good.

Found your pictures,
The memory Tab you may need to manualy enter your details, these will be printed on your memory modules. You need to highlight the DRAM Timing Selectable and hopefully change to manual, then highlight the speed and change the speed ie 800mhz or 1066mhz depending on your memory, then highlight the next 4 rows individualy and change to whats stamped on modules ie 4-4-4-12.

The BIOS seems to be showing the correct speed in most of the screens, but you have EIST & C1E enabled which changes the multiplier between 6 & 9 depedant on load, (this can seen when running CPU-Z in windows) but not sure why the BIOS would show this, usualy this shows the default speed.

What does PC health status show, I'm surprised you don't have a screen which shows volatges and actual cpu details.

thanks i know what you mean with memory timings so ill change them, as for cpu details on one screen you can change cpu voltage and ddr voltage but yes im surprised that there is no screen with more cpu details?
