Q6600 Overclock , Sound crackles

[Liam-89]

I can overclock my cpu to 2.70ghz (1199) fsb without changing any voltages after that i gotta tweak the fsb and cpu voltages abit to get any higher. so after i tweak the voltages and set the fsb to 1333 for 3.0ghz which it was actually clocked at when i got it, it boots and seems to run ok but my sound crackles and the volume drops and slowly comes back up, i got a creative xi-fi titanium soundcard installed and it also seems to be the same if i use my onboard sound via usb headset

anyone encountered this problem?

Hi,

Make sure the PCI bus is locked and isn't being overclocked along with the FSB. I think the default is 100mhz... sure someone will be along to correct me
