Firstly, I'm using an Abit IP-35 and a Q6600 OCed to 3.2GHz
I've got this strange problem with my FSB...its resetting back to 266mhz in windows randomly for no apparent reasons. On the other hand, my voltages, dram:fsb ratios etc stay the same. When I restart my computer it will be back at 356mhz, and my BIOS is still keeping all the overclocking settings too. PS: -My overclocking is prime95 stable, and even if it wasn't, everything in BIOS would reset to default, not just the fsb. -I'm using Everest and CPUZ to check my settings. Any help is greatly appreciated -------------------- - Intel Core2Quad Q6600@3.2GHz w/ OCZ Gladiator -

If the bios is not stable like that and its resetting, then your system is not stable as a whole, even it passes Prime95. Did you test your ram at that speed and make sure it runs Memtest at least 8 hrs no errors, at a voltage/timings you set?

im not sure if BIOS is resetting, I still need to figure it if my fsb goes back to 266mhz after booting or at some point in time in windows. If the system is not stable, wouldn't every setting turn default? As I said, my dram settings, and voltages etc are not changing :/

no...energy saving only changes mulitplier not the fsb
secondly, when my fsb reverts to 266mhz, it will not change unless I restart the pc Update: My fsb is resetting when it is off for a long time (such as during the night). After restarting the pc the fsb is overclocked again. PS: The PSU is also switched off during the night any help please?
