Question about overclocking Core2Duo E6400

[BobbyCG]

Hey everyone, I need a little help. I just build me new computer and I want to boost the speed on it a bit. I have an E6400 2.13Ghz on a Neo3 945P board. I used to have an athlon xp on an nforse2 board and i could overclock that with my eyes closed but this Bios has me confused. Could someone look at these pics or if they already know how I can OC my system, I read that the 6400's are great overclockers and I want in on it

also I cannot get in to change the vcore or any of the voltages for some reason, it is grey on my bios and wont let me get to it.

I guess what I am asking is does anyone know how to unlock the vcore so I can change the voltage? I can handle the rest

First of all, your chip can probably hit 3.0 ghz (375 fsb 1500 QDR) at stock voltage. That is the nice about thing about Core2Duo's.

Secondly, you probably can't change the vCore on your mobo. You will either have to hope for a future BIOS revision which changes this or get yourself a performance-oriented board. If I were you I'd go with the second option.

Get this if you want to go for 4.0 ghz:

There might also be a jumper on your motherboard that unlocks some voltage adjustments, etc. Flash your board to the latest available bios for it and have a look in your manual.
