    You need a fan that is fairly close to the RAM, expecially if it is higher voltage RAM.

    Are you trying to connect the fan to the motherboard headers? If so, it might draw too much current, try it on the main loom, or get a fan controller.
    Yes, i was connecting it to the motherboard. I'll try something else...
    But what about core temps? is 75C(coreTemp readings) normal if CPU temp is ~ 60C?

    Those temps are fine for that overclock.

    If it was me, I would lower it though, and have it cooler.

    Smile Help in overclocking please (Newbie)

    This is my first time overclocking and wondered if you can help.

    I'm using the P5K-E board with the latest bios set to it default and a Q6600 processor.
    When I run CPU-Z the Multiplier shows 6, I thought this was supposed to be 9.

    The other settings it shows are:

    Clock 1860.2
    Multiplier x6
    Bus Speed 310.0 mhz
    Rated fsb 1240.0 mhz

    Can somebody please point me in the right direct to over clock this processor.
    I did try changed the FSB frequency in the bios to 310 and setting the multiplier to 9 but still cpu-z showed me a multiplier of 6.

    Many thanks,

    Dave.

    Hmm, tried the obvious fro your FAQ item number 9 but it still shows x6.
    Sometimes it jumpts to x9.
    I went back into bios loaded all factory defaults then disabled the speedstep again, rebooted.
    Showed x6 still.
    Went back into bios and set the multiplier to x9 back in windows shows x6 arhhh.
    It is as thou windows has a speedstep of its own.

    I guess it was C1E Support, that drops multiplier, when a processor is idle.. if you say, that it jumped to 9 and then back, then this is the only reason...

    Re: C2D Overclocking Guide For Beginners P5K Add-On

    ok, I am a beginner of this so please bare with me

    Just bought a P5KC and to that 2x1GB Crucial Ballistix PC8500, QX6700 CPU

    The problem is that I cant get the mobo to boot in DDR2-1066 !? (all settings Auto, it boots the memory in 800Mhz)

    I have set the DRAM frequency to DDR2-1067
    DRAM timings 5-5-5-15
    DRAM voltage to 2.2V

    everything else is Auto

    After POST I get info that I have a incompatible CPU, press F1 to resume...

    Any tips ?? what settings should I have ???

    Please read the guide, its all in there.

    yup, I have read your excellent guides

    And I have seen the number 11, but I am still stuck...

    Why "incompatible CPU" press F1 to resume ???? and after that something about file missing...

    Do I also have to adjust the FSB frequency and the PCI-E frequency, NOT let them be auto ???

    And most surprisingly, why do some memory modules work at PC8500 with only change of DRAM frequency to DDR2-1067 and then the mobo fix the rest but with these crucials it wont work ?? have I had just luck before ?

    Re: C2D Overclocking Guide For Beginners P5K Add-On

    I'm sure people just sign up to make me keep repeating this same answer (I'm kidding by the way )

    Right.

    If you follow the guide, you will have the RAM at 1:1.

    If you dont follow the guide, you will do what you have just done!

    No DDR2 RAM will automatically run at 1066Mhz automatically in any board that I know of, purely for the reasons in the troubleshooting guide.

    In a nutshell, you are setting the RAM too high, and then overclocking the FSB , which just raises the RAM further, and runs it way out of spec, and thats why your computer is telling you NO!

    Read the Overclocking guide for beginners part 1 in my sig, and then read the P5K add on, and if you do that, you will see that all the info is already there for you

    Re: C2D Overclocking Guide For Beginners P5K Add-On

    yeh, yeh, I will try to read it again

    Thanks for taking your time

    Ps. In my other computer with P5K dlx I put in OCZ PC8500 and I just altered the DRAM frequency and it all worked fine (and it worked in my last P5B dlx mobo also)... so this tweaking is really something new to me.. Ds.
