I am using an EVGA 780SLI MB /Q6600 Proc./and 2 corsair 2x2048-6400C5 memery strips, I would like to try and overclock . I am a beginer ..Do I set the memory clock mode for linked ,auto ,or unlinked . Being a beginer can I overclock by just bumping up the mem freq. a little at a time in one of those modes and will that mode compinsate with my adjustments so I dont overload something else I know nothing about ..I am not sure wich mode it is that I want to set it at..Thank you for any answer or input I do except critisiscm well , if it will help... jo

I'm no expert but I have been told unlinked
is the way to go

I am sure that you are right I have read the forum at Hexus on overclocking by D Marshall and it makes sence to me .However I am not positive so If anyone is following this direction because of this post you are indeed on the wrong page

do u know if your q6600 is a go or not?

I have the Corsair 4 x 1GB DDR2 XMS2 Dominator PC2-6400C4 TwinX and have had
them up to 1900MHz on FSB and stable

Who the!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!What the !!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!PCGEEK

No not PCGEEK...lol

I understand that your expert opinion allows you to consider my biuld the work of stupidity however I have a running system and that is not helpful critisicm.However I touched my first PC aug 2006 work full time(skilled laborer and take care of 2 kids and a house. I'm not here to impress I only asked for help... Thank you for the insult. You have certainly made my visit here memorable

I had to change my name back!

yeah dude I would say unlinked
try googling it as well that may help you
as I know it has helped me many times
now !

Also I wouldn't mess with any power
settings just yet you know like vcore
and such not until after you have tried
just upping the fsb and such if that is
infact what you are pushing for
and never mind that dorks comment
he is obviously in the same boat with us
So if were dorks he is on here just like us
what does that make him??? HAHA
To hell with him though was is it exactly
you are trying to acheive here????

Give me some insight and I will do my
best to help you

or even cynicism on this thread anywhere from anyone?!?!

Thanks I am doing just as you said.I have played around with this before and I am afraid to tell you how far I went before I made toast of my system. I am going 2.425-2.450 I going to see what happens here I,m not sure how much Gaming (Crisis) stresses out the CPU but my temps haven't moved at all I spent some cake on this cooling system But I find it alittle strange that after one straight hour of crisis no temp change at all. I wish I had aksed a few people what ram I should have bought I'm not sure but I think that is the weak end of my system. everything else is running 5.9 on the windows scale (waterever the hell that is) and my memory is at 5.2. I think I did pretty good for my first biuld I am going to try and slam dunk the next one, come June thanks guy I do apreciate all the help I can get
