No overclock option on BIOS


Recommended Posts

Hi there. I have an old 775 board with a q6600 and i wanted to try and overclock. Im new to this field but i watched some tutorials. Anyway i see that on my BIOS i dont have any "jumpfree configuration" menu. Any thoughts?

 

Asus P5K-MVM

5GB DDR2 400Mhz

 

Thanks

People forget those chips don;t have unlocked multiplier. The only thing you can do with a q6600 is raise the FSB from 166 to 200. I think its 200 or its 133 to 166...it has been like 10 years since I owned one.

It's possible that if the mb came out of a prebuilt pc like hp  that a lot of the time they put there own bios in it that will not permit oc'ing. I've seen a few manufactures do this to protect their warranty.

Welcome to OCC.  

 

In your BIOS setup utility is there an option for Advanced,.. A1 Overclocking [ Auto ] ,.. if so set to [ Manual ] and you should have CPU Ratio Control, FSB Frequency, PCIE Frequency, DRAM Frequency, DRAM Timing Control.

 

You need at least those few BIOS options to OC with FSB,.. better motherboards also have Vcore and several other adjustments like the Intel P965 or nForce 680i chipset's,.. you might be out of luck with G33 chipset.

 

If you do not have any BIOS OC options,.. you can use overclocking software and PLL chip #,.. like CPUCool  http://www.cpufsb.de/FSB.HTM  or setFSB 2.0  http://www13.plala.or.jp/setfsb/
