Hi folks,
I've got a bit of an overclocking problem on the Gigabyte GA-965P-DQ6 rev.3 with the latest BIOS and the processor is a E6600.
Problems seems to be a degrading speed. Everest and CPU-Z and any other reporting tool now show my overclock to 3Ghz is now just 2988Mhz. As a matter of fact even at stock speed its not quite what its rated ...one thing i notice at boot screen is that the FSB will post as set to 332 instead of the 333 its set at in the BIOS. Now that is aggrivating! My RAM seems to be running fine. I've very very scared to increase voltages in my overclocking as it wiill almost certainly shorten the life and damage my parts and I dont want that ..but I don't think thats a problem with my light OC.
What could be causing the wierd error?
My Buffalo Firestix are rated for 1000Mhz at 2.2v and I have it running well at the specs Anantech guys found success - http://www.anandtech.com/memory/showdoc.aspx?i=2790&p=4.
As if this post wasn't already too log here's an Everest report and I will provide any info anyone wants for your enthusiasm and willingess to help, I really appreciate it.
