Hi,
This is the first tie I've ever though about over clockingthe CPU as have always been happy running from the box. BUT.... Everyone tells me that the NEW Core 2 Duo CPU's love to be overclocked.
So Here's the spec:
ASROCK 4CoreDual-VSTA PT880
Coe 2 Duo E6600 2.4Ghz FSB 1066 4MB Cache
Scythe Samurai Z REV.B (CPU Fan)
Crucial 2Gb DDR2 667 1.8V
Hiper 530W PSU 2.2V SLI/Crossfire Cetified
With the Bios I have set the FSB from 266 to 280 and the multiplier is stuck at 9. I was hopping to have an increase but all I got was a blank screen about 5 attempts to get back to POST and then it hung again. Cleared CMOS and have NOT tried since, BUT friends have told me that I should be able to get 3Ghz from the E6600 easy. Does anyone have any ideas as to why this is not working?
Also having major problems with the HD2600XT Gcard I have. It says that it can handle HDTV BUT when I bought the HD lead and then plugged into the TV I got nothing. I have downloaded Catalyst 7.8 and just now 7.9 and have tick the 1080i30 in the catalyst but nothing. I also have a blurry square in the centre of he monitor now and it's very anoying. New I should have gone for a Nvidia, this is my first ATI Gcard!
Thanks for any ideas,
Shaun.
