help a noob, OC a maximus (asus)

[sneakykills]

Hey,

I went through the forums and Im still having issues with OCing this Board. I'm always getting Overclocking failed

Here is what I have:

Maximus Formula with 1207 Bios (most recent)

4 GIGs of Ballastic PC 8500

4870 ATI VId Card

CPU - Q6600

Onboard Audio

Vel Rap HDD

Im an avid gamer and any increase in speed by OCing the Ram or CPU would be awesome!

thx......

can you overclock at all ?

how far have you pushed it so far ?

are you sure your just not at the limit of your oc's ?

snap on most things bar the CPU Try going into the BIOS and doing the "Level up" to the likes of a Q6700 id you are a bit of a newbie to OCing, or just try toying with values until you get it right. Raise the Front Side bus a bit making sure your RAM doesn't go much over its rated speed (ie not above 1066Mhz) and if you crash, apply more voltage to the CPU and Northbridge etc
