Hey everyone,
I have an Intel core 2 Duo E8500 with a 3.16 GHz clock speed, 6MB cache, and it can be overclocked. It's installed on a Gigabyte g41MT-S2P motherboard with 6GB DDR3 RAM.

When I tried to overclock it to 4.0 GHz using the BIOS, I disabled the easy energy saver first. After setting the voltage to 1.3V and saving, I exited BIOS but when I opened Core Temp to verify the frequency, it still showed 3.16 GHz. Even after changing settings and running dxdiag, the frequency remained at 3.16 GHz.

I'm also using a Cooler Master Seidon 120V Plus with a liquid CPU cooler.
Thanks!

Windows settings consistently display the stock frequency of your CPU regardless of actual conditions. Consider using Cpu-Z for accurate clock readings, including real-time and nominal frequencies across all cores.

Hello... Check your BIO's screen for the current settings and speed readings. If a BIO's setting didn't work during BOOT, it will revert to defaults or the last good settings. Your OC setting failed.

1) Which FSB are you attempting to run?
2) What is your CPU multiplier?
3) What is your RAM frequency?
4) What are the RAM stick numbers, sizes, and configurations?
Your MB only has two memory slots—how do you fit 6GB DDR3 RAM into it? B
