Greetings,
Recently I replaced a dead P5W DH deluxe with the M2F. With the P5W I was able to overclock my Q6600 G0 to 3.4GHZ with 24/7 stability for over a year before my motherboard died. The M2F has a great deal of BIOS settings for the overclocker, however the manual doesn't give a detailed explanation of each setting. I have searched the this awesome forum as well as other to get my OC to 3.6Ghz, however it is not 100% stable. I am able to run Prime, Orthos, Everest successfully without any errors, but at times I get the BSOD with trying to put my virtual machine in suspend mode, or attaching certain USB hard drives with a NTFS.SYS error. I would like to get some opinions / suggestions on :
- voltage settings
- DRAM Skew settings
- Mem OC charger / Twister / Booster
- PCIE fREQ
- CPU and Mem GTL References
- various CPU settings
Here is my current BIOS settings:
Thank you for your input it will be helpful for myself and others I am sure.PHP Code:
