Hi
I just recently built a new system since am moving away from notebooks and trying to save money on buying a Mac Pro. I build this computer with the hope of running OS X using the new EFI-X dongle that am still awaiting delivery.
At this time I have the system up and running and have installed XPPro on one of my drives. I have been playing with the unit for a few days now and now want to try my hands at doing a little overclocking. I found this posting below and tried some of the settings and got the system to accept some of the changes.
This is my hardware build:
Gigabyte GA-EP45-DS3R; Intel Core 2 Quad Q9300; 4GB G.Skill DDR2-1066 PC2-8500; RAIDMAX RX-530SS ATX Power Supply; EVGA e-GeGorce 7200GS; Samsung SyncMaster 2220 wm; HEC 6XR8 mid-tower case.
For some reason when I was using the computer before I did the test overclocking, system properties showed that the processor speed was 2.0GHz when infact I have a 2.5GHz cpu. But after the overclock, I got it to 2.50GHz (strange).
I would like to overclock to at least a 3.06GHz. Anyone has a similar mobo and processor and can run by the setting for me?
I also noticed that since trying that overclocking, each time I try to put the system on standby ... it doesn't stay and keeps "waking up".

p.s here are the pics of the BIOS settings. Since I am allowed 4 pics, I can only post the links to the snapshots. thanks
