The problem is I can't get my cpu to overclock past 3.3.
If I go anyhigher it won't turn on untill i reset cmos.
Can anyone help me?

Since that board has no voltage options in the BIOS (DRAM, NB, and VTT FSB voltages are listed, but can't be changed), and only a limited number of overclocking options in general, I wouldn't expect too much out of it. Post all of your current settings...

System Clock Mode:
Adjust CPU FSB Frequency (MHz):
Ratio CMOS Setting:
Adjusted CPU Frequency (MHz):

FSB/DRAM Ratio:
Adjusted DRAM Frequency (MHz):

Actually u can change voltage.
Ram timings and like 9 other things.


System Clock Mode:
Adjust CPU FSB Frequency (MHz):1466
Ratio CMOS Setting: unlinked?
Adjusted CPU Frequency (MHz):366.7 x9

FSB/DRAM Ratio:
Adjusted DRAM Frequency (MHz):800

... then in addition to the above settings, post all of your current voltages and RAM timings (including sub-timings).

 

[Fritomaster]

Didn't touch ram timings or voltages.
But I see what there at right now.

Post all of the available overclocking related BIOS options that you have the ability to change, including what they're currently set to, and what they're curently at in Windows. You can use programs like HWMonitor, CPU-Z, RealTemp, CoreTemp, etc. to read RAM timings, voltages (vNB / vMCH, Vcore, Vdimm, etc.), NB strap, etc.

I bet this is too low, what is your Vid? Any way to change the Vcore in BIOS on your MB?

 

[gychang]

I have this CPU and considering getting a O/Cable microATX MB, any suggestions from the experts?

thanks,

Gychang, you'd be best off starting your own thread in the Intel CPU or Intel MB forum! Just click one of those links to start your thread. Posts in old threads like this one often go overlooked - make a good title for your own thread and you are likely to get good answers!
