Hey, i've been having a bit of trouble for a while with my mobo as some of you may know from previous posts. Its become so extreme that ive decided to give up. Having a q6600 at 2.8ghz is really starting to wear me down and i feel like im loosing overclocking street cred . I cant get this cpu stable for the life of me at 3.0ghz! I know its ashameful however I dont think its me to blame. I had a blast on a p5k3 Deluxe not long back and managed to hit 3.4Ghz in about an hour and half stable with about 15 mins on prime 95 no problem. So i feel as if my boards letting me down and ive asked about with one of my more tech'ier mates ) and he just says i told you not to buy and nvidia chipset based board.

I currently run a Quad core on a Asus P5NT Ws, and its so bad for o/c ive tried everything and so far ive heard one guy has it at about 3ghz but i dont know if hes got it stable, I can post my o/c settings but i have tried so many different ways I think its time to move on

Since a core i7 is not an option atm, I was hoping maybe one of you guys has an old LGA 775 board laying around somewhere that i could buy for a fair price. Preferably a P5K Deluxe since the DDR3 version seemed to work nicely with my Overclocking sttings.

Thanks in advance Brad : ) )

Is this a request for overclocking help or a request for a new board?

Requests to buy hardware need to go in the Wanted section.

What's the other hardware you're trying to use?

You should (with the right cooling & chip) hit well over 3GHz easy on that board.

I cant help out with the board (my P5K Premium is still in use with my Q6600) but this thread might be worth a look: http://www.overclock.net/intel-bios/385 ... -bios.html

Thanks for the help looks like ive got it stable for the time being at 3.0ghz ive upped the voltage of the North Bridge from 1.4v to 1.5 thanks to the forum post you sent me.

Thankyou for your help but i dont know if i can get it any higher although ill make do untill i get paid, then maybe the new sandybridge i7 will be mine

Thanks again guys! : ) )

The i5 2500k is supposed to be a bargain
