I have just purchased an "intermediate" all-purpose desktop PC with the following configurations:
CPU Core 2 Duo E6600 2.40Ghz/1066/4Mb SL9ZL (05/15/07)
Coolermaster Hyper 212 Plus cooler
ASUS P5G41T-M-LX mobo
8Gb G.Skill Ripjaws X DDR3 RAM PC10666 1333Mhz
Although I haven't mentioned the remaining hardware as I don't think will "interfere" when overclocking, I want to know why on earth I cannot hardly overclock at all, with this configuration.
I have mounted the system with the intention to slightly overclock to compensate overall performance, I need to overclock to at least 2,80Ghz, but cannot go beyond 2.5Ghz.
The RAM has enough headroom as I am currently operating at 1066Mhz and NOT 1333Mhz, so I wouldn't think that this is causing the system to crash, neither the enormous Coolermaster Hyper 212 Plus cooler, along side with a semi-professional computer case., Where ventilation concerns, I have that covered.
Is this secific high-end Conroe processor are bad overclockers? - Is the Intel G41 chipset not "specifically" designed for overclocking, although compatible?
Any suggestions?
