And those are just for the Graphics card. CPU overclocking cannot be (at least not effectively) done via software. It takes place in BIOS.BeerzGod wrote:

I think for ASUS mobos you can do it with AIBooster, but yeah, BIOS is bestDeathUnlimited wrote:

That's the one that overclocks as it's needed right? Great programe thathaffeysucks wrote:

yeah, just great, never could get it to run stable without freezing my PCBell wrote:

I had it working a treat. Admittedly though, not with a massive OC, but, I had it pushing a Q66 to 2.8 Ghz as the applications grew intensive, didnt have much in the way of issues funnily enough.max wrote:

BIOS + Riva Tuner FTW
look here. Overclocking on that board is simpleBeerzGod wrote:
If anyone can share some step-by-step information on how to overclock a cpu safely then feel free to explain. After looking at countless forums on the subject I've been unable to find one specifically explaining how to overclock a cpu with the hardware I have, or that that explains indepth what I should do. Maybe I'm not looking hard enough, I'm not sure, but I trust the knowledge of some of the people in this forum better than I do others. Any help would be appreciated, otherwise I'll just keep searching around.
Intel Core 2 Duo E6600 Conroe Processor 2.4GHz, 1066FSB, LGA775, 4MB
Corsair TWIN2X2048-6400C4 2GB Kit DDR2-800 XMS2-6400 with default timings of 4-4-4-12 and a voltage of 2.1V
Asus P5N32-E SLI nForce 680i SLI Socket 775 1333MHz DDR2-800
On a side-note I ended up going with RivaTuner and was able to juice up the performance in my 8800 GTS by 32%, running with a max load at 43-45C. Many thanks for the votes.
Haha. I appreciate the input and I understand what you're saying to do, but really have no idea how to tweak that shit. I'm just trying to get the default processor speed of 2.4 up to 3.0. Cooling shouldn't be a big problem. I have six case fans and everything sits idle at a constant 26-30 and 32-34 under load.max wrote:

set you ram to unlinked and 800MHz
disable speedstep
set all the voltages to their default values (not auto)
ramp up the fsb by 20MHz, test for stability
repeat until you are happy or the CPU become unstable. Ramp the voltage 1 notch
at some point, no matter how much more voltage you put in the CPU won't go higher. Drop the multi and see if you can increase the FSB, if you can't you'll have to up the northbridge voltage (the northbridge cooling on the P5N32e-SLI is kinda bad, add a fan if possible). If you do you're at the max you chip can do before you need some extreme volts/cooling.
Setting VTT to something high (1.55) helps with clocking and apparently has no effect on temps. You can always lower it once you've reached the speed you want
you can try to enable speedstep when you're done, on some PCs it still works great (like on mine), for others it causes loads of problems
Exactly. You'll have to work to get a good, stable overclock. Sorry, there's no shortcuts - those software overclocking programs like nTune do not work well and in many cases screw your PC up, so you'll have to do it manually.max wrote:
well overclocking is not as simple as turning a dial to the wanted speed. All those options are in the advanced tab of your BIOS. Look around it and read some guides and it will become a lot clearer to you
If you have a 680i or 780i and are OCing your CPU, nTune is a good option. Essentially gives full BIOS control while booted to your OS. Quite nice.GC_PaNzerFIN wrote:
depends what you are gonna OC but overall I wouldn't touch the nTune with 10 feet long stick.
Until it corrupts the BIOS... seen that quite often.Bertster7 wrote:

yes, happened to me too.... thank god I had USB stick with flash tool and latest BIOS
