I have no idea how, but I got my processor and memory stable
at about 2.4 Ghz. I got this by pressing random buttons. and playing around in the bios. I have the Corsair XMS ( Non C4 ) Memory 5-5-5-12 . Right now my settings are at

FSB Mhz - 1375

MEM Mhz - 850

I made the Vcore 1.368 V and the Memory voltage 1.920 V .

I have the FSB and memory ratios unlinked and everything. What should I do ? I have the Asus 650i SLI Mobo with 2 8800GTS's in SLI. Im only gettinng about 10550 in 3dmark and i know this is because of my processor. Please any help is appreciated. I have no idea how to overclock. Help a fellow hard forum member out ! THANKS GUYS !
 
Very weird. Everytime I set memory to fsb ratio to 1:1, theres a loud beep from my pc and nothing happens. I have it stable at 1400 FSB and 750 on the ram. It won't go above 1400 for some reason ! Please, I need help. Once again I have the Asus 650i Motherboard. Thanks.
 
Ok so let me get this straight have you disabled any of the things like:

Virtualisation
C1E
EIST
etc.. anything that could be limiting the CPU?

So atm your running 350 FSB giving the cpu a total 2.45ghz w/1.368v, 750 on the ram w/ 1:1 ratio at 1.920v. correct?

The fact that you say you go to this point by pressing random buttons really isn't helping as any one of those things could be limiting your overclock.

1. Load optimized defaults in the bios / something to revert it back to stock state.
2. Disable anything that mentions about limiting the cpu at some point if in doubt post them here.
3. Enable Overclock AI and set it to manual
4. Set the cpu vcore to 1.325v, set the mem ratio to 1:1 and give the memory 2.1v
5. Up the FSB to 333 if its stable and boots up proceed to up the FSB in increments you feel appropriate or close to the overclock you want to reach.

if anyone feels I missed something feel free to correct me as I have no experience with that board or bios.
 
Thanks for your reply !
Unfortunately, the PC in unable to go into 1:1 ratio mode, and I am forced to set it to unlinked in Bios. Everytime I turn on 1:1, the computer just gives out beeps, and wont post. Is it the motherboard ? I am sure nothing is broken, because everythign works fine. Thanks.
 
Well, I'm guessing you're going to want to run unlinked...

Try setting the RAM to 800mhz (stock) and the FSB to 1500...

Is your PCIe frequency LOCKED at 100mhz?
 
Yes, I believe the PCi frequency is locked at 100, because in one of the settings it is set to 100. Does that make any sense ?

Sorry for the triple posts, BUT I have found a thread showing a lot of info on this motherboard. http://forums.anandtech.com/message...eyword=&STARTPAGE=1&FTVAR_FORUMVIEWTMP=Linear

If I could I would read this and use the information, but I'm a noob and don't understand any of this information. Can anyone read this for me and help me ? I would really appreciate it. Thank You.

a screenshot/picture of your bios may help because atm I'm struggling to understand you probably because I'm not familiar with that bios.
