Section II: Setting Overclock Parameters.

For the 965Pand E6400 You should be able to easily hit 3.2 ghz using the 8.0 ratio.
First go into the bios and change overclocking to manual. Slowly raising these settings is best in the overclocking, but if you are lazy you can start at the top. Let stability be your key.

# vCore: 1.375
# vFSB: 1.300 (Auto)
# vNB: 1.3 (Auto)
# vMem: 1.8 - 2.45 on ASUS Boards. Default on DS3 is 1.8 and moves in +.1v increments. Find the maximum your warranty will allow.
# Configured FSB: 400 x 8 = 3.2ghz, May be less or more depending on processor.
# Memory Ratio should be 2.0 on DS-3, DDR2-800 on P5B
# Configured Ratio: 7 (E6300), 8 (E6400), 9 (E6600), 10 (E6700), 11-50 (X6800)
# Configured Memory Timings: 5-5-5-15/4-4-4-12 (Configured under Chipset)
# C1E and SpeedStep off, Locked PCI Express Frequency locked at 100, PCI Sync Mode at 33.33.


975x Overclocking

First go find the section AI Tuning, or the Equivalent for your 975x Board. BadAxe is labeled "Overclocking."

# vCore: 1.425(3.4ghz)/1.475(3.5 ghz)/1.525(3.6 ghz) To Compensate for Vdroop
# vNB: 1.7
# vMem: 2.0-2.5 (Find the warranty for your ram)
# Configured FSB: 1520, 1560, 1600
# Memory Ratio: 1:1 on 975x. This corresponds to the Ram Speed being 2x the fsb. I.E. 400 = DDR2-800.
# Configured Ratio: 7 (E6300), 8 (E6400), 9 (E6600), 10 (E6700), 11-50 (X6800)
# Configured Memory Timings: Configured under chipset. I would say most ram should be able to handle 4-4-4-12 @ 800mhz. If you are lucky your ram will be able to do CAS3 and get better performance.
# C1E and SpeedStep off, Turn off any PCI-E linkboost as it is actaully slower.

oic it was edited and the section visbility improved 🙂

Definitely seconding sticky on this now.
