Hello lad's! Well i know my question is a little bit weird but i need to ask! I have started overclocking my pc because its slow for this new age, i tried to reach 3.30 ghz with my q8300 cpu, and i only changed the fsb to 440 and the memory is around 877 mhz while putting it also to 2.00D and it works fine no freezing while gaming, but i realize that when i but the pci more than 105 my pc won't boot up, so what can i do to make reach higher?
My motherboard:
http://www.gigabyte.com/products/product...id=3111#ov
My graphic card: hd 7770 saphire 1gb ddr5
Ram: 6gb ( 2gbx3) 1333mhz veritec
Btw: i manage to reset bios to the default settings and rase to 105 works fine, but 106mhz no heartbeat my friends
🙁
I think that is a very good OC to be honest with you. You run the risk of killing the CPU/Mobo and not being able to replace them. Did you read about 'the wall' there is an area of stability past a zone of instability, but I can't recall where. BUT the risks are high for not much benefit. I wouldn't go much further.
FSB is okay for OC, just keep the PCI-E bus untouched.
If I don't raise the PCI-E bus, I won't be able to exceed 3.00ghz.
🙁
Do I need to enable it in auto or set it to 100?
I believed the CPU speed on C2Q's was based on FSB *Multiplier, not the PCI-E bus speed. You must ensure your FSB doesn't exceed what the memory can handle, that's all.

I'm not sure why I can't reach above 3.00ghz without increasing the PCI-E frequency! Is that typical?
Have you looked at the stickies for C2D/C2Q's? Read them then return. You don't have to interact with the PCI-E bus.

Have you read the stickies on OCing C2D/C2Q's. read them then come back. You do not need to touch the PCI-E bus.
Okay i will read them, thx guys for your help!
