Need Rampage II extreme help

[texan1962]

I can't get any OC going. I had to put it on CPU Up. How do you get the crazy 3.6 to show in the bios? I only get the 940 and 965 settings. Is that because I have a 920? Does anyone have a 3.6 or 3.8 stable setting for this board?

Thanks!

You really should do it manually, not the "CPU level up" stuff.

That CPU should easily hit 3.5 or better with a manual overclock and that board.

+1^ dont use CPU level up or any other softwares for OC'ng because your options are limited and also it may cause instablity,the best way to OC is through the BIOS.

Do you all have the rampage? I had the P6T deluxe and OCing was easy, but if you try the samething on this board it does,nt take it. I was wondering if someone out there can give me the spec.s for a 3.6 or 3.8 for this board.

I dont have RAMPAGE,but i have ASUS MAXIMUS FORMULA which has the CPU speed up too but i dont use it,i OC'd through the BIOS and managed to OC my Q6600 to 3.4,here is a very good OC guide:

Thanks, but 1366 is triple channel and there are alot of other factors you have to add in.
