| Re: C2D Overclocking Guide for Beginners Thats because there is no "safe zone". I would say that you probably wont be able to go much higher with that CPU. The P5B's chipset strap changeover happens at 400FSB, which is where you are now (400x8 right?) So, from 400FSB to around 463FSB you lose a large amount of memory bandwidth, and you system will actually run slower because of this. You can use a lower multi to try and avoid this FSB range, but, to be honest, the chances of you getting stable at 500FSB+ arent great. So, wait til you get your new CPU.

| Re: C2D Overclocking Guide for Beginners I'm not too familiar with Asrock boards, but I think if you poist your question in the general hardware section, you will get more people seeing it I remember on past Asrock boards, they were always FSB and voltage limited, and I suppose it is because they are a budget board. Sorry I cant be of more help. Originally Posted by Blitzen http://maps.google.com%2Fmaps%3Fhl%3...t%3Dh%26z%3D17

| Re: C2D Overclocking Guide for Beginners About Probe, it has a MB temp which seems the same as Speedfans System temp. Is this the Nb temp of the board? And what is regarded a safe/good region? |

| Re: C2D Overclocking Guide for Beginners Great thread Clunk - has really helped me out One question though... why do you need to turn off EIST, Thermal Control, C1E, etc? I've done as you said and clocked my Q6600 G0 up from 2.4 to 3 GHz now. So what would happen if I turned these power-saving features back on now? |

| Re: C2D Overclocking Guide for Beginners It is because some people (myself included), find that there can be instability, especially when going for higher clocks. If you need the power saving features, try enabling them one at a time to see how you go, and dont forget to stress test each time you change something Originally Posted by Blitzen http://maps.google.com%2Fmaps%3Fhl%3...t%3Dh%26z%3D17
