Other than the E5800 post your complete system spec's in detail, including a link to your specific RAM showing rated frequency, timings, and voltage.
 
How?

I thought I posted all the necessary info. I tried to get into the BIOS settings to get more info but the Lenovo system I have doesn't seem to all me to actually change numbers, etc. Guess I should have check before I posted. Maybe I'm doing something wrong and there is a better way to look.
 
I'm confused. Do you have the E5800 or the E6700?

By specs, he means, what mobo, what RAM, etc.

It sounds like you have a pre-built system by Lenovo, though, so I doubt you have any OCing options.
 
That is odd how it shows both E5800 and E6700. :shrug:

Must be an E5800, though, based on the FSB speed.

Knittingdoc, if your BIOS doesn't have any OCing options there isn't much you can do.

You can try programs like SetFSB. You can also try to do a FSB BSEL mod to increase your FSB from 200 to 266, but w/o multiplier control or voltage control I think 4.25GHz would be a bit much.

You have DDR3-1066 and it's only running at DDR3-800 speeds, but you may not have a choice given the 200FSB of that CPU.
