O.K., as you ll soon find out, i never overclocked before
but i got my comp configured poorly,i think.
just to remind you, i gots an Intel QX9650, and Corsair DDR1800C7DFIN.
these are the general settings in the Extreme Tweaker section of my BIOS.
which is 1007 BTW.

Memory Lvl. up = AUTO
A.I. OC Tuner = AUTO
CPU Ratio Setting = AUTO
FSB Strap to NB = AUTO

DRAM Freq. = DDR 1333MHz
DRAM Command rate =AUTO
DRAM Timing Control =AUTO

(grey)
Primary Info: 9-9-9-24-4-60-10-5
Secondary :10-5-5-4-7-4-7

DRAM Static Read ctrl. =AUTO
DRAM Static Write ctrl. =AUTO

A.I. Clock Twister =STRONG
A.I. Clock Skew:Channel A =AUTO
" ":Channel B =AUTO
A.I. Transaction Booster =AUTO

NB LED selection =NB Volt
SB LED selection =SB Volt
CPU LED selection =CPU Volt
Frequency LED =Enabled
Voltminder LED =Enabled

CPU Spread Spectrum =AUTO

any suggestions how to get the Memory run at DDR1800, without the CPU running Amok at 4.3 GHz? or do you need advanced settings too?
