Well this is a new board, and i'll be blunt, i have no idea how to OC with this board. It has something called the Asus O.C. profile, but i haven't a clue what to do. It basically just opens a file open dialog in a blue dos window. Is the only way i can OC this by loading OC profiles i find on the internet? I have never had an Asus board i can't overclock a chip with :blink:

any help is appreciated...

Nope thats where you can save/load a profile you've created. Go to the Advanced>JumperFree Configuration section of the BIOS.

Set the Ai Overclocking to Manual, that should now show more options, like a FSB setting.

Forget the bundled software, it's usually bloated crap.

Just go into the BIOS and manually overclock from there?

That's not what he's talking about.

If its the same bios as my P5K it should be under the Advanced tab -> Jumper free configuration. Then change AI Overclocking to manual and away you go!

It may be a good idea to have a browse through your manual to familiarise yourself with the bios, if you have it handy.

ok..

anyone know good settings for these 2 chips?

E8400 @ 3.0 ghz

Q6600 @ 2.4 ghz

or is there a site that shows proper settings will get you to a certain voltage? IE 1.35 vcore and whatever to get a Q6600 up to 3 ghz?

and how high do you think i can get these chips on air? The Q6600 is running at 25 degrees celsius, is that normal or good?

There are no "one size fits all" setting, all chips are different. But that is a good IDLE temp but that really doesn't matter much, it's the UNDER LOAD temps that matter.

I have a E8200 @ 3.2 using a vCore of 1.168v and I don't even get close to 60c after running Orthos for many hours.

I also have a E6550 @ 2.8 with a vCore of 1.192v and it gets around 60-63c under load.

Both on stock coolers.

Those vCore values are from CPU-Z @ idle.

Switch it to Manual mode in the AI Tweaker or whatever it's called now. Play around with the FSB, NB strap, multiplier, RAM dividers, and voltages. Don't fry anything though, make sure you know what you're doing :p Asus mobos are fairly simple to OC with.

    • EU says AWS and Microsoft Azure should be treated as DMA gatekeepers

      By Nas · Posted

      The limited imaginations and business acumen of non-dominant players is simply that: the abject lack of creative business acumen. Businesses often want to operate in a financially-rewarding marketplace (free market economics) and/or exit/cash-out at maximal financial recompense. Money is their incentive; regulations are both their obstacles and their tools; politics is their means of influencing the marketplace. Google, in this story's example, is crying that AWS and Azure are "too dominant" -- cuz Google Cloud is not printing as much money as Alphabet wants (although it is still dramatically more than they actually need). The EU DMA should truly follow-the-money and treat the EU as its own sovereign nation in order to protect European market players: Domestic entities are exempt from market-influence regulations until absolute monopoly is achieved; Foreign (non-EU/non-Euro) entities are all regulated via stricter DMA measures whereby regulated partnership with independent domestic entity becomes the only way for foreign entities to 'tip the scale' for favorable financial remunerations. Basically create a dual-track aligning with China's foreign investment models. In my eyes, this is the only way to properly protect the European marketplace beyond the current dot-com/ai-bubble/social-media crazes.
