Overclocking Q6600 on P5K-E

djcj · 13 Jul 2007 at 01:13

I'm a little confused. It's the first time i've tried overclocking. I believe i've set the FSB to 400 and the multiplier to 7. But everytime i run CPU-Z it says the multiplier is 6, no matter what value i set it too. :confused:

I can change the FSB no problem but the multiplier never seems to change from 6. Any help please?

Edit: Also i have set the ram in bios to be 4-4-4-12 but CPU-Z keeps showing as 32-5-2-12 :confused:

speedstep or w/e it is that slows the cpu down when idle might be on

If you are new to overclocking i hope you haven't jumped from stock straight to 400FSB, as that is quite a jump and the inexperienced really should go through the normal steps of incrementing a few MHz, testing, rinse and repeat.

Jumping straight to your preferred overclock could cause problems if you aren't 100% sure of what you are doing

The only reason i put it too 400 FSB was because the multiplier is stuck at 6 and cpu was @ 1.6Ghz :S

Seen this recently. Disable C1E and all will record well in CPU-Z.

disable c1e & speedstep

also a later bios is out 0503 for the pk5-e/wifi board
