overclocking p5b deluxe + e6600

hey guys.
i'm with the most current bios 0507, but i can't seem to manage to overclock at all...i've tried reflashing the bios but i am still limited for some reason..every change i make in the bios - the system won't post.

I've been reading few threads and reviews about p5b deluxe, but i just can't seem to set the basic values in the bios for stable OC..

also there are MANY settings in the bios that i don't even know what they are..and most of the things are set to auto which i also realize that is wrong.

could somebody please point me to a manual or a thread for p5b dlx optimal bios settings for stable OC?

thank you
 
i've already rad most of them..
but the problem is that if i change the settings to let's say 400x8 1:1 pcie lock to 100/33.3, everything is working ok, i'm getting a large improvement with super pi, but the overall system performance becomes VERY LOW..i am talking about 49k aquamark 3..(instead of 135k without overclock)..there's a HUGE score drop with 3dmark 06 and basicaly every benchmark exept super pi..

what's wrong?

when i boot with these settings it says my ddr2 is 4300...
 
why would you want to lower the multiplier? make it 9x367=3.3 or 9x356=3.2 i got it working with 4-4-4-12 timing 1.9v, and core voltage 1.35v...
 
You need to disable the speedstep or whatever technology, I forget what it's called it should be in that thread.
 
hey. now with the 609 bios..but still i can't seem to make anything work stable..tried 8x400 and now priming 8x410 (cpu is 63c with dual prime 95 running hope its not to hot)..anyway 609 seems to be more stable..

It's all in your memory voltages and timings. When you get that all down...you will be stable.
 
ok..so far the only stable OC i manage to get is 360*9 at 5:4. mem at 4 4 4 12 (already few hours dual prime stable)...
but i thought i can do some 9x 400 or something..guess i'm wrong.
 
hi..they didn't seem to find any working solution there...so the only thing is replacing the board?

thanks
 
Replacing the board because you can't overclock past 9x360? That doesn't really seem to make sense, unless there's something that's actually wrong with it.

If you're unhappy with your overclock, the correct thing to replace is the CPU.
