Hey guys, sorry if I post anything silly/stupid in here, bit of a newb when it comes to OCing. Basically I have a P5Q Pro Turbo mobo which came with a program called TurboV which I'd like to use to OC my Q9300 (which I hear is quite OC'able). What should I be looking to increase, I can post a screeny of the program itself. Or should I just use the Bios to OC? Any help would be great :).

Oh and I'm running

Win7 64Bit
6GB Corsair RAM
1000W PSU (not sure of the exact model it's a Corsair one, and brand new)
HD 5970

Anymore revelant info you need I'll gladly post.
 
Sorry for the double post, just a quick update - I'm using the BIOS to OC it now, and for some reason as soon as I change the FSB to anything about 369, when it tries to start up again, it just gets stuck on the ASUS screen. What should I do? I'm sure the CPU can take it, it can reach up to 3.2GHZ according to other peoples results and I would have thought the PSU can take it.
 
If its freezing at the asus screen then it sounds like u will need abit more vcore, don't forget every cpu is different, so some need abit others not a lot.

Try a notch up on the vcore and test again, if its still doing it keep going up untill it boots up.
 
Sorry, this is probably a really thick thing but how do I do that? I'm using the AI Tweaker in the Bios and I don't see that Vcore setting thingy, is there another name it could be under?
 
Ahh! That seems to have worked! Should I keep increasing the voltage with the FSB? Or is there an amount you recommend?

EDIT:

Oh having said that, increasing it to 375 caused the freeze again...
 
Ok try this, set the North bridge voltage to 1.4 (its called NB Voltage) 5 down from cpu one. Especially as you have all memory slots filled. Also make sure that the Dram frequency is set to be what your memory speed is rated at or lower.

That way we will know its not the north bridge stoping it,or memory.

So yeh keep raising the Cpu volts, but stay under 1.4, but also stress test in windows using prime95 http://files.extremeoverclocking.com/file.php?f=205
 
I tried that just then - still didn't make a difference froze at the startup again. It couldn't be down to a RAM fault could it? I did have a RAM stick failure once, and I do have another of the same model in there. If that was faulty could it affect it?
 
Yeh a memory error could easily make it stop.

What kinda volts are you trying to boot up with, and memory speed?

Whats your memory rated for 800mhz/1066mhz?

You could allways try it without the sticks in that you know have errored in the past, to see if it does boot up without them.
 
No probs, im no expert, but i do enjoy overclock, but i am glad you got past that annoying freezing stage, all be it having to lose some memory.

Rma it if you can (depending on brand)
