Im pretty new to overclocking and i just bought a asus rampage formula and q6600. I have a q6600 with G0 stepping and i would like to get to 3.6 ghz. my computer components can be found in this thread im not sure what im doing wrong, but even when i get a stable OC, when i try to set the cpu...
i am trying to overclock my q6600 to 3.6 and am stuck at 3.3GHz
I have a asus rampage forumla and g.skill ddr2 1000 ram 5-5-5-15.
i have tried change almost every setting and have read multiple guides. I'm strait up out of ideas about how to get that last .3 ghz. anyone have any ideas?
I know the case boggles your minds but its like my dream case, the one i have right now is small and terrible. The one i want is just like a dream come true for case.

i found it too, it probably is there to tell us that PCI-e 2.0 cards will work in it. get it... compliant=compatable. Just them saying the 2.0 cards work with the board. aparently 2.0 isnt really used so it wont hurt me...
