Hi all,

I want to get a little more grunt from my work pc which consists of the following:

Asus p5K
Q6600
4gb corsair PC2-6400
Stock cpu cooler

I've been reading some guides and now have set the FSB to 300 to give me 2.7Ghz. My worry is that the ram gets set to 752Mhz so presumably the more I increase the FSB the higher the ram will go. I'm guessing the way around this is to manually set the ram's frequency lower to start with but wanted to get some thoughts..

If I can get it to 3.0Ghz or so I'd be happy. I ran OCCT for a while yesterday and temps didn't go above 54 at full load.

many thanks!

Here are some of the settings...
Advanced --> JumperFree Configuration
Ai Overclock tuner = Manual
CPU Ratio Control = Auto
FSB Strap to North Bridge = Auto
FSB Frequency = 300
PCIE Frequency = 100
DRAM Frequency = 752 MHz

DRAM Timing Control = Manual
CAS# Latency = 5
RAS# to Cas# Delay = 5
RAS# Precharge = 5
RAS# Activate to Precharge = 12
DRAM Static Read Control = Auto

Transaction Booster = Auto
Clock Over-Charging Mode = Auto

CPU Voltage = Auto
CPU PPL Voltage = Auto
DRAM Voltage = 1.95v (1.9v is default)
FSB Termination Voltage = Auto
North Bridge Voltage = Auto

Try putting your fsb to 400 and cpu ratio to 7 which would give you 2800mhz, this will allow you to run your memory at full speed in a 1:1 ratio 2x400 = 800mhz.

You will need to adjust cpu voltage, and if your cooling is up to it you should get 3.2ghz if you use the x8 ratio. Try the x7 step first and see if you can get that stable, hopefully that board is good enough to handle the fsb.

You may need to change NB volts and cpu ppl, but see if you can get 2.8 stable first.

so far so good on these settings..
Might push it a tad more later in the week once Im sure its stable.

many thanks.
