    Changing my BIOS settings to reach 3.6GHZ on Q6600 G0 (BIOS Pics included)

    Hi there,

    I've just run Prime95 for about 8 hours and everything works stable at the following settings:
    FSB: 370
    Voltage: 1.35625
    Multiplyer: x9
    All other BIOS settings left on Auto.

    These settings give the CPU a speed of 3.3GHZ. However, I recently tried to get it to 3.5GHZ at an FSB of 389 and Vcore of 1.40 - and the computer wouldn't boot windows or the BIOS - I had to reset the mobo.

    I am slowly trying to get the CPU to 3.5 or 3.6 though (depending on temperatures). What settings do you recommend I go for? I've been getting some advice but I am a bit confused now - unsure which settings to change, I've uploaded 3 pictures that make up the 1 section of my motherboard used for overclocking, if you could help me by pointing up which sections to change and what settings to input in order to reach 3.5-3.6GHZ , that'd be great!

    If it helps, my PC specs are:
    Intel Core 2 Quad Q6600 G0 CPU
    ATI 4870 GPU
    ASUS P5Q PRO Motherboard
    OCZ DDR2 800MHZ 4GB RAM
    Vista 64Bit
    Antec 900 Case
    Corsair 650W PSU
    Scythe Mine CPU Cooler

    Thanks.

    It sounds like your memory, change DRAM frequency to manual and set the divider to 1:1. Now raise your FSB while inching up the CPU voltage. It should take you there!
