Overclocking CPU With 780i Board

Antec900 · 25 Mar 2010 at 15:12

Hey guys,

Im trying to OC my CPU (Q9450) to around 3.0GHz if possible just for a small increase but my BIOS isnt really giving me the options to do it.

Anyone have this board and get a successful OC?

I gather the BIOS version is P06 according the EVEREST, if thats what you want to know. Any other Q's please ask.

Thanks all

Antec

P.S I have tried the 'Search' button and googled but to no luck.

Which mobo?

Right... I figured how to raise the clocks and raised only by 5MHz as said in the Overclocking thread.

Are these temps normal? Look a little high to me. My CPU Cooler is a H50.

Cheers

Overclock continues...
