    Overclock stable, but normal shutdown causes no boot?

    So i finally got this damn thing stable, and i noticed when i actually 'shut down', on the reboot it just black screens and sits there until i shut off power supply for a bit then boot again. I was previously just hard rebooting pressing the power button earlier and had no issues, is this a...

    Overclock on a DX48BT2?? Anyone??

    well they sure as **** advertise it as an 'overclocking' board. The tools are there, they are just in wierd places with different names. Although i did not see ICH / South bridge voltage or RAM divider.

    Overclock on a DX48BT2?? Anyone??

    Let me know how you did it, cause i sure can't. Q6600 Corsair XMS DDR 1333 pc1066 BFG GTX 280 OC

    Voltage on G0 Q660 stock 1.325 loaded temps upper 60's with AF7Pro?

    I was able to run at 2.7 past posting, but crashed as soon as running any stress tests. I had to tweak FSB, MCH, and Vcore to fairly high levels to even get this far. It sure would help if i could find anyone that has a DX48BT2 successfully overclocked to see what they have their settings at.

    Voltage on G0 Q660 stock 1.325 loaded temps upper 60's with AF7Pro?

    Well, thats the thing.... i can't find it in the BIOS. The DX48BT2 bios is not real intuitive. It has a screen to manually set the mem speed and timings, but I don't see the divider. I can't get it to post so i can't see if its jacking up the clock on the mem too high, which could be a...

    Voltage on G0 Q660 stock 1.325 loaded temps upper 60's with AF7Pro?

    so my VID is 1.325, i just set vcore to 1.2875 (lowest my dx48bt2 would let me go in BIOS, wtf?) Loaded temps are now 50-53ish. However the voltage didnt appear to make more than a few points difference, what really mattered is that my AF7 pro was only kicking in once the cpu got up to its...

    Voltage on G0 Q660 stock 1.325 loaded temps upper 60's with AF7Pro?

    i guess a good question to ask to check the voltage concerns would be if lower voltage would really have a significant impact (for me looks like significant = 10-15 degrees) Also if i do sort this out, since my RAM reads 1066 but is rated 1333, when i set the FSB to 333 with 9X for 3.0 cpu, do...

    Voltage on G0 Q660 stock 1.325 loaded temps upper 60's with AF7Pro?

    Venom - HSF comes with paste pre-applied and i believe it's mx-1 Ejay - Powersupply is a Coolermaster 650w, i don't remember if RAM was approved but it should be as i checked for all that when i was ordering, plus corsair is a very reputable brand Bobbknight - i went to texas tech when he...

    Voltage on G0 Q660 stock 1.325 loaded temps upper 60's with AF7Pro?

    So I just built my first rig, got everything tied away, and decided to move on to OCing. I have read a ton of material on every website imaginable, but i can't seem to figure out why my G0 has temp readings on the high side. When i do small FFT torture test it touches upper 70 but maintains...
