Not possible to adjust the CPU voltage through the automatic settings.
Not possible to adjust the CPU voltage through the automatic settings.
I'm just starting out with overclocking using a locked multiplier. Sometimes I get a warning that my attempt failed because I didn't actually overclock the CPU. (It's a Core2Quad Q8200)
Using that CPU requires increasing its speed through the Front Side Bus (FSB).
With that CPU you'll need to overclock using the Front Side Bus (FSB). I'm not sure what FSB or locked multiplier means, but I see a calculation like 333x7 equals 2.3331 Ghz and I can only adjust the 333 value. I want to change it to get closer to 345, but changing the voltage from auto mode to something else causes overclock failure.
You might have benefited more by purchasing a CPU with a 1066 bus rather than the 1333 bus model you currently have. It would have been simpler for the motherboard and provided more flexibility in clock speed. Apologies for the oversight. I managed to get it for free.
If you can't adjust the voltage then I'd assume the motherboard isn't meant for overclocking, unfortunately.
I've been experimenting and reached a stable 2.34Ghz at 100mhz... after adjusting the voltage to 1.278 it works.
But if I try to push it further with higher voltage, it gives a warning! Previous attempts failed there.
