So I'm totally new to system building and all, but I thought I at least had some idea of overclocking. However, as it turns out, I have had limited success. Here is a list of my specs:
DS3L
G.Skill 800mhz 2GB
Intel Pentium E2160 1.8Ghz
AC Freezer 7 Pro
So, the main issue I'm seeing has to do with the proc and memory. For one thing, I've read many people can push this proc to 3Ghz without voltage changes. I can't even get it to post at 300x9 (2.7Ghz)!
The highest I've been able to take it is up to 250x9 (2.25Ghz). This is stable during Prime95 for at least 1 hour. I didn't really want to push it farther than that though.
In CPU-Z, it shows my memory is PC6400, but only 400Mhz. I have no idea why, or how to fix this, but I assume this is causing a problem? If anyone has any settings I can try, please post them up. So far, this Gigabyte board has not been what I had expected for OC capability. Thanks!
