Hi All,
I am trying to overclock my QX6700, but am unable to get it to go past 3.0GHz. Every time I try and overclock past 3.0Ghz the system just hangs and I have to reset the bios. Its my understanding that I should be hitting 3.0GHz easily by only upping the FS bus. Am I missing something here or am I just an unlucky owner of a chip that does not like to overclock?
Any suggestions you guys can offer is greatly appreciated.
Please see my system specs below...
