Hello All I'm new to this forum and new to OC'ing..
..I got a new D975xbx2 last week and when I was in the bios I noticed a Performance tab that I've never seen before. I entered it and realized that it was related to overclocking. This raised my curiosity and the next thing you know I was on Google reasearching. Every query I posted on Google pointed me to XtremeSystems.org. :) So I've read a lot of post here. I attempted overclocking for the first time last night and managed 2.3GHz. I updated my bios today, played around in the bios and managed 2856.5MHz.
Couple of questions for you guys:
1. CPU-Z indicates I have a Conroe and Core Temp Beta indicates I have and Allendale?
2. I'm using Kingston DDR2 533, do you guys have a recommended type to use, ie. Crucial Ballistix DDR2 1000 for better overclocking?
3. Finally, all suggested bios setting for a noob(myself) are welcome :rolleyes:
I can only get up to 408 before my system would error indicating a failed bios setting.
I'm going to run Orthos until I wake up, about 9 hours from now :D
