Changing the FSB on the Asus P5KPL-VM

[jamiefearon]

In the bios there is no option to change the FSB, as I want to overclock my Q6600. I have read on forums that people have managed to overclock by changing the FSB, but after many hours of searching I have not found how. Please can anyone help! 😱

Try SetFSB.

What kind of system do you have, if it's a dell or HP or anything of that sort, most likely, it's locked and you will not be able to modify anything in the BIOS... other than that, i really dont see why you wouldn't be able to modify anything on the ASUS board

the Asus P5KPL-VM website shows 3 different FSB speeds:

1333/1066/800 MHz

They are there> hidden in the advanced settings>jumper free configuration. you must enable AI overclocking or some other setting like that. check in the manual. it'll tell you where the fsb settings are

It should be in the bios under advanced tab.

My system was bought at a random Korean shop. I have checked in the advanced settings but their is no setting. I guess it must just be locked.

Thanks for info on that SetFSB program I will give that a go. Do you know is their any greater risk using a program like that compared to doing it in the bios?

Yes there is, you need to choose the correct PLLID number also you won;t get an overclock that is as stable. Try Asus o.c. gear before setfsb tat might work better

your bios will include options to set the fsb manually .

You might have to enable them by making a selection first that enables them .

What BIOS does your mb run?

 

[jamiefearon]

The bios is by American Megatrends. I was thinking could there be a jumper setting which would enable the fsb to be changed?

I have a P5Q-E motherboard. It has the AM bios. In my bios I have a AI Tweeter option tab. In that tab all the options were set to auto. The first option in that tab (forget what it's called) I had to set to manual to enable all the other options. Don't know if that will work for you or not, but hope it helps.

Yup, it's A.I. overclocking or summit like that
