Hi, I have a e6600 sitting on a Gigabyte DS3 965p motherboard. I am trying overclocking for the first time right now. Since I was going for 3.2 Ghz with a Zalman and AS5 cooling, I set the fsb to 356 and voltage to 1.43750. I have the memory setting set to AUTO, so it kicked the memory from 800 to 1068 (Corsair XMS2 Dominator).
I save the changes in the BIOS, and restarted. I went into the BIOS again to verify my settings, and they were still there. I checked my temps, and they went up from 28C on stock speeds to 40C because of the higher voltage.
So now, I'm in Windows. Yes, I did uninstall EasyTune5 first because I feared that might interfere with the OC. But, I guess the OC is not registering because the Windows device manager says both cores are still at 2.4Ghz, and Coretemp still says my voltage is 1.2750.
I'd like to apologize in advance because I am a noob OCer and this is my first time doing anything. Whatever I did, it can't be that bad because the rig is as stable as ever. For safety's sake, I'll go back to the BIOS and revert to the original settings while I wait for an answer. Thanks.
