XPS 730 w/Q9450

[kjdocs]

My wife is all over my computer time.....so bare with me.

I tried to OC my dell XPS (which is the only dell that does not lock down the bios).

I disabled the CE1 and Stepping, and Unlinked my FSB.

I changed the FSB to 450MHZ and that showed my configured settings to 30000MHz.

I saved and rebooted and cpuz still showed 2.6MHz. So i rebooted and back to the BiOS i went.

The bios still reflected my configured settings as FSB 400 MHz, but the reflected the "Current" as 2600Mhz.

I am new to the OC game, so wondering if anyone has had any of the same expierence and might have some advice....

Be gentle, my wife monopolizes all my time.

Figured it out, was a voltage issue.
