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.

DO you really think q6600 >e8400 if i never will do anything but game? and that case is actually pretty nice. now im torn between that and the big spacious lian-li
9800gtx+'s in SLI is looking better than the 4850's in CF, i think i want two cards again lol. I understand its not cheap but i called it cheap because i wanted good performance not for allot of cash. I understand my case is expensive but i have a terrible 50 dollar aerocool case. i rather have...
i dont want a ATI card this time around, i really want a nvidia. I' the lesser, non crossfire version of this MOBO doesn't have dual eithernet ports and thats something i want.
I think im going to buy the GTX 260, its about the same price as 2 x 9800 GTX's and i will upgrade to an SLI configuration within 6 months, possibly step up or down too.
Well, in my current build, i have no upgradability because i bought a 939 motherboard, i couldn't even crossfire or anything, its such a terrible build. My case is so cramped, i refuse to get a tiny one. i dont care if i have too much space, i just cant be confined anymore. Im not editing video...

So if I'm not looking at a 1080p signal. what am i looking at then? shitty vga?
I set the monitor to display native and not full. then i used 1920x1080. Then i changed the clock settings to squeeze the 1080 to 1050. So i'm looking at something....what is it?
It displays the 1920x1080. I changed the clock and squished the image a tad to fit the monitor. I know its squishing all the pixels and crap but it is still outputting the 1080p image right?
The sceptre monitor i have says it can do 1080p. I have been able to set my computer res to 1080p int he past. It has a bit of pixel squishing but it is 1080 alright. So if all games are upscaled to 1080p, and my monitor is connected through vga and set on the 1080x1900ish setting, am i getting...
I have looked low and high for 1080p games for the 360. All i find is 720p and 1080i. My xbox is hooked up to my 22in scepter monitor thought vga. I have it set to display 1900(ish)x1080. Now, if it is progressive, whats the point if the games aren't capable of it. PS3 may be a joke but at least...
