Cant overclock 6600, cant see option in bios

I cant see where to modify the FSB ???????

Is modify ratio support the one I want to change? its set to 9.

Read your Asus manual assuming that is the motherboard you are using now?

your FSB is prolly going to be displayed as a total FSB amungst all 4 cores, it should be 1066 (1066/4=266)
hope that helps, I had the same problem when I first went to OC my q6600, I was looking for 266 in the FSB page but I should've been looking for the total FSB, 1066.

I couldnt see any option to change the FSB or anything........Grrr....nope the manuals.......somewhere

It's ok I used the driver cd which has an overclocking tool on it. I may just add 400 Mhz and bring it to 2.8 , what FSB is that 333 Mhz?

Hahahaha !!! The fsb amungst all 4 cores? You've got to be kidding me !!! You mean it's qaudpumped, so 266 might be displaying as 1066, and since your ddr2 is doublepumped it might be showing up at half the speed it's actually running at. On a asus mobo there should be a tab called advanced settings though, and then theres something called jumperfree settings.

Using external tools is fake though, overclocking in the bios is 10 times better. And to answer your question, the multiplier is 9, so 2800/9 = 311. Try 333 instead for 3ghz. But only do so if you are using an aftermarket HSF or watch temps like a hawk, on the stock cooler I bet temps will go over 60c easily when put under load.

my temps under full load at the mo at 44/45 on both cores

You go into the Jumperless Configuration in the bios to overclock the FSB and voltages. Then you select manual frequency adjustments.The ram timings are in the Northbridge tab to disable the auto timings.
