Hey everyone. well I've been trying for the past 2 days to overclock my rig, which is a Gigabyte 965P-S3, and an E6300, with a gig of memory running at 667mhz.
It seems no matter what I do I can't change the Bus speed past 276, which really frustrates me. I'm not on stock cooling either. I don't know what I"m doing wrong. Also how much and when should you increase the voltage? every 10mhz or so? I know this all sounds really stupid to be asking, and I have read the stickies, but I still can't figure it out. I'm hoping someone with a gigabyte board can kind of tell me what settings I'm not changing or what I'm doing wrong.
The other question I had was that I know you guys are changing your memory timings and all that and their voltages, but how do I know what my maximum voltage the my memory can handle is? and where in the gigabyte BIOS can I find my timings and all that.
Any help is extremely appreciated, and I'm sorry for sounding so noobish.
EDIT: THe other thing I forgot to mention is my CPU voltage was running at 1.2 I believe, that was stock, I now have managed to keep it at 276mhz and running at 1.3v, says the BIOS and CPU-Z
