Hello everyone, I'm a newb here to these forums. I was reading through the oc'ing guide and I believe I have somewhat of a grasp on oc'ing. My question is how would I go about doing this on my system, since so far I have not seen where someone has oc'd a 780i motherboard. The screen shots in the guide are what really confused me since of course my screen is differant. I have a XFX MB-N780-ISH9 nForce 780i SLI Socket LGA775 motherboard, a Intel Core 2 Quad Q6700 2.66Ghz cpu, 8gigs of Corsair PC6400 DDR2 800MHz, 2 BFG 9800 GTX's 512 DDR3 factory overclocked edition vid cards (soon to be replaced with my 2 GTX 260's 896 factory overclocked vid cards, 2 500 gig WD Caviar hd's, Ultra LSP750 750w psu (soon to be replaced), Masscool 8WA741 CPU FAN w/heat pipes, and I'm running windows vista ultimate 64 bit edition. Any and all help is greatly appreciated, Thanks...
 
most of the stuff you see on the guide is in your bios.. each bios has them layed out differently so thats where it gets confusing.. if you have a laptop around.. just have the guide open on the laptop and flip through the various tabs in your bios and find where each setting is at.. even if you have to print the guide out it would help.. first thing you want to do is make sure you know where everything is before you do anything.. makes it much easier to troubleshoot when you run into problems with the overclock..

but thats about all the help i can give since ive never used or overclocked on a 780i motherboard..
 
Yes thats the problem, the screen shots are differant from my bio's screen. I tried the software that comes with it but it won't save it, so every time I restart it goes back to the stock set-up.
 
What you have to do is pay attention to the names of the settings and not what they look like. The only way to figure out how each one affects your overclock is by playing around with them, so what I suggest you do is just mess around a bit while paying attention to the maximum recommended voltage settings. Remember, the only thing that can actually damage components is too much voltage. Also, don't worry about screwing up, since you can just reset your BIOS and bring everything back to normal.
