Hey guys, last week decided I need to get a new desktop. I have been surviving on my laptop for the last 2 years now and I havnt built a PC for myself in about 5 years (but I built around 20 for the company I work for but always lower level cheap AMD chips).. So I was on newegg for about a while and finally configured the system that I want. I finished it and installed vista ultimate 64-bit, then I tried to overclock it but this mobo will not overclock. I read other people who have OCed to 3.6 but that was with a q6600. Anyone else who has some insight for me with this board please help.
My PC specs are
MoBo: ASUS P5N72-T Premium
CPU: Intel Core 2 Quad Q9450 Yorkfield 2.66GHz
RAM: G.SKILL 4GB DDR2 1066 PC2 8500
PSU: OCZ EvoStream 720W ATX12V and EPS12V
GPU: EVGA GeForce 9600 GT 512MB PCI Express 2.0 SLI
HDD: Seagate Barracuda 7200.11 500GB 7200 RPM SATA 3.0Gb/s
When I overclock this thing for some reason the core speed always goes down. My core speed goes to 2ghz according to Core Temp & CPU-Z. Thanks in advance
