FSB/Overclock Issues

[Riznarf]

I just increased my FSB in the BIOS from 333->345 to test system stability. I got a clean boot, but when I check in System Properties, CPUZ, Orthos, and Everest, they all show my CPU running at stock speeds (2.66Ghz) where it should be running somewhere around 2.76ghz. I rebooted to check to make sure I saved the settings in the bios, and I did...345fsb was still set. Any suggestions?

Make sure you have the latest version of cpu-z. I had a similar issue where it was showing my speedstep being on, updated cpu-z and now its accurate again.

I may not, but its peculiar that its not showing in ALL those applications. Jst to make sure I just downloaded the newest CPUZ and still show the same problem....

Is this on the machine in your sig? Is it possible that it failed to post and disabled your OC, go back and check that.

yes it is, again though i did exactly that, restarted went into bios and everything looked like it SHOULD be overclocking, but no :-(
