Hi,

Sorry this is such a n00bish way to start but I was having a look at my mates P5E-VM and Q6600 last night and much as I tried I was unable to unlock the FSB and make any changes.

Is there something glaringly obvious I'm missing? Tried switching the options within the BIOS Jumperfree Configuration but no success so far. Really not familiar with this board at all.

Thanks in advance.

I can think of a few things but I will not elaborate.

1) Flash bios
2) 3rd party program, much like rivatuner
3) Put all options in jumperfree to manual (you've tried, so I don't think that will help)

You think flashing the BIOS will help? I was kind of hoping that this board would be tweakable out of the box.

Please!

If it comes to it I'll flash the BIOS but if I'm just missing something stupid then feel free to point that out.

Just to make sure, did you set all the headers in the BIOS options to "manual?"

I tried. I set Ai Overclocking to Manual but the CPU Ratio Control was just greyed out.

If I remember correctly the CPU Ratio COntrol would be under CPU parameters not the main "extreme tweaker" or tweaking tab as it's called. Set the AI Overclocker to manual and then see if the FSB is able to be changed, if it is then you'll have to go into the CPU parameter page and take it off Auto and key in the Multi you want.

BTW.... to OCF!

Thanks for the welcome. Think I used this sites years ago when I O/C'd my A64 3000+ to 2.8Ghz but ended up creating a new login this year.

The mobo manual is here: http://support.asus.com/download/download.aspx?SLanguage=en-us&model=P5E-VM HDMI

The only references I can see are within the Jumperfree Config page. Once I've unlocked the CPU Ratio Control I'll be laughing, until then I'm just .

You have to disable all speedstep and automatic voltage adjustments etc. I think...

That should also be in the CPU tab.

I am not too sure though.

Thanks, I'll have to give that a go. Not going to be until tomorrow evening now anyway but if anyone happens to read this thread that has this mobo, or just recognises what I'm doing wrong, please put me straight.
