I do want to ask, when moving the jumper to reset cmos, do I really needto remove the battery like the mobo manual says? if so then fair enough but if not then it'll be helpful as i have to remove my gpu to be able to access it!
Just reset cmos and set those settings and it's booted. gonna check coretemp and cpuz now.
VID is 1.25v.
Temps now (just after startup are between 23 - 30 celcius)
CPU-z is saying running at 3ghz which is great news.
Thanks for helping me sort it.

Guys, would overclocking my q6600 to 3ghz significantly shorten my cpu life?
There was a thread about such issue some weeks ago and somebody mentioned that whether running a cpu at stock speed or overclocked speed, the performance degrades overtime. However cpus can run for many years as they are deemed to be the strongest pc component without any problem. Even the performance degradation shouldn't be a lot.

Me too now!! lol
Been running Prime95 since just after startup and is fine at the moment, top temps are 42
Did you use 334 x 9 ? or 333 x 9?
He used 334 x 9 just as I did.
334 x 9 = 3006MHz = 3Ghz (Solid 3.0GHz)
333 x 9 =2997MHz = 3Ghz. (dubious 3.0GHz lol)
I have noticed many times when people use 333 x 9, in the cpu-z it is showing mainly as 2997Ghz and they are calling it 3Ghz. Best to use 334 Mhz.
I did actually use 333 after resetting cmos last night but have changed it to 334 this morning before booting.
CPU-Z is stating i'm at 3009.8Mhz. When i was at 333 cpu-z said 3002.?Mhz
Odd eh!
Thanks

right, i'm on my netbook posting this as my desktop is sat in the bios screens. For RAM i get options for:
501
668
835
891
1002
1113
1336
The multiplier is still locked at 9
Why isn;t it giving me 801 like you said?
Also, a bit off topic but bios related:
When i boot my system, I get a message saying Detect Drives Done, no drives found.
Why does it say this?, i have my os drive in sata 0, storage in sata 1 and optical drive in sata2
on main bios page, it says:
Primary ide master: not detected
primary ide slave: not detected
third ide master: wd150gb
third ide slave: wd500gb
fourth ide master: not detected
fourth ide slave: optical drive
Any ideas about this?
Thanks
Neil
