I just find out that in the second pic, if I set the SLI ready Memory to [disable], it frees up the FSB(QDR) setting, which I believe is the CPU FSB I want to change after I back off the multiplier first (in the first pic).

The only thing that confuses me is that on boot up the message show that the FSB is at 333MHz with a multiplier at 9x, but here it is showing it as 1333MHz?!!?!

any suggestions or recommendations?

thanks heaps guys. :thumbs:

785817 2009-06-26 03:03:00 And by the way is all the setting in the third pic right or OCing?

In the SLI ready Memory setting (second pic), I can set it to disable, 0%, 1%, 2%, ...,5%, Max, what should I do about that?

785820 2009-06-26 03:34:00 take your time, it is the most detailed clocking guide out there SolMiester (139)
785821 2009-06-26 04:18:00 since the multiplier of my CPU is partically locked, it won't go above x9 and won't go below x6, should I just leave it alone and increase the FSB slightly everytime? or should I follow what I found in the OC's forum, back off the multiplier first then increase the FSB, then increase the multiplier again? the second one obviously will take way more time... :( but it sounds safer.. powerover (12121)
785822 2009-06-26 04:30:00 Don't bother, your Muliplier is locked. Increase FSB and vcore

Incorrect Blam!

Depends....some mobo have FSB walls, was that not in the guide?...to get past that, you can drop the multi is order to increase the FSB past the wall!
It also depends on your memory, if you drop the multi, you maybe able to use a difference\better memory divider to get a better clock......

With the Q6600 that I have some people in order to get 1:1 memory, drop the multi to 8 so they can run 8x400.

785824 2009-06-26 04:40:00 swiit. thanks blam. according to my calculation, since im using DDR2 ram at 800MHz, the max FSB speed I can have is 400Mhz, therefore a max CPU speed of 3.6 GHz.....

and by the way if you dont mind going back to post #21 and look at pic 2, the the true FSB should be 1333/4, right? they are quad-pumped...
so I should take that 1333 then divide it by 4, which give me 333.25MHz true FSB, then increase this number by 5MHz each time...am i right? just want to make sure everything is right, dnt want to F**K it up again.. :P

thanks heaps .

785825 2009-06-26 04:43:00 thanks for the correction solmiester, it never mention anything like that in the mobo manual... and the divider it is using is 5:6 I think. but i can set it so that the memory clock is not linked to the FSB, see #21 pic 2 then you know what im on about.

cheers :thumbs:
