People might say they have had this issue before but I've tried every result I've found on Bing and Google at this point. I'm one of those guys with a core 2 quad desktop and It's been the best PC I've used at this point. I built it in 2009 with a Gigabyte MOBO and Q6600. It outlasted my Asus ROG?(can't remember what it was) i7 laptop (made in 2011 i think) and beat it in a few games.
But I need more performance so I'd like to OC it. I came across this issue when I built it but didn't think much of it until now. I cannot seem to OC my Q6600.
The overclock tool in this motherboard is the MB Intelligent Tweaker. And everytime I increase the FSB to something above stock, it will restart and revert back to stock speeds. It's not the cooling. It's a coolermaster air cooler that keeps it at 40c under full load. But I guess it could be?
And on the rare chance BIOS actually recognizes it to be clocked at 3.2 Windows never does and CPU-Z doesn't notice any FSB change. Bios is not updated, I can't find F10 bios for the board but it does exist.
Any help?
Thanks.
