Ok, this is my first thread/post on this forum however I am not new to forums. I did a ton of research, searching and reading stickies on this site and others before posting this question. So here goes.....
I built my rig 1.5 yrs ago and now would like to try and oc it just for kicks and see what I can get out of it.
Current specs are:
q6600
Asus p5q se plus
8 gb ocz reaper
Antec 650w
Asus cpu fan (can't remember specific model but it's pretty big and should handle at least a mild oc)
nVidia 9600 gt (msi board)
I've tried some basic overclock (fsb) with absolutely no luck. I can't seem to find the multiplier in the bios (maybe they call it something else) and i can't find it specifically in the manual either.
according to cpu-z my system idly runs at a 6x multiplier and when put under load (prime 95) jumps to 9x. I assume it's because I defaulted back to the 'auto' settings?
current temps according to speed fan are between 26-30c idle, around 53c on load
So if you are a master oc'er or have this board or one of the p5q series and can help me out, please let me know.
Thanks guys
