Overclocking help

[Sleekit]

Hi, as some of you know I am having problems overclocking my computer. I've tried reading the guides but I just can't seem to do it. I have the Asus P5N-T motherboard which is reported to be terrible or overclocking (I know I should have read reviews before I bought it)

Anyway, I found the AI Overclocking function in the BIOS that overclocks your pc for you so I chose "Overclock by 15%". My boot screen shows that my CPU (now running at 3.64Ghz) and RAM have been overclocked but when I run CPU-Z it shows this:

Please note: My stock CPU runs at 3.16Ghz with a 9.5x multiplier

Please help

I think you need to disable "speedstep" on your bios.

Enhanced C1E too iirc.

your bestt bet is to learn to do it manually by increaing the reference clock/fsb

Disabled both features (speedstep etc) and overcloked it manually but CPU-Z is still showing 2.3GHz with a 6.0x multiplier, it flutters to 3.4GHz at 9.5x for split seconds but thats about it

Can't remember what the function is called, but it's designed to drop the multiplyer down when not in use i.e. full load. Open up a couple of power hungry apps then check cpuz and the full oc should be shown. Basically just a power saving feature in the chip.

What Sprento said.

It will go to full OC with 9.5x multi when it needs to.

But it will be low when its not being used fully.
