Solve : Increase FSB??

Answer»

I have a Intel core 2 Duo E5300 its on 800Mhz FSB is there a way of increasing this becasue my motherboard is a Asus p5kpl-cm and its capable of 1600/1333MHz. This most likely will have something to do with overclocking unless the FSB is totally limited or not even POSSIBLE to be made faster.

And another thing the OC menu on my BIOS say's i can overclock the processor to 30% but when i do save the setting the computer just shuts down and waits for me to turn it back on. once on the clock is back to stock. Is it just that my Processor cant take it?
ThanksAll the info on OC'ing is at the ASUS site...
If it reverts back to defaults on reboot you're doing something wrong.The "OC menu" sounds LIKE auto-overclocking, I'm not surprised it doesn't work.
Your chip has a default FSB of 800MHz, anything above this is overclocking.  As patio says, if you can't raise it you're doing something wrong.There probably won't be much of a headroom in overclocking this. It is likely that the autotool (these really are that SHITE btw) is not taking into ACCOUNT the volt changes that may need to be applied.

The speed capabillitys of this mobo would be better served by buying a bigger CPU. Not worth you risking it imho. Quote from: patio on August 14, 2010, 08:30:54 AM

All i do is go into the BIOS and change the AI Overclocking menue to 30% then when i save it and exit the computer shuts down and wont start up by itself. so i have to press the power button and start it and while its posting its shows the the CPU us on 2.6Ghz again.
 
But i found the solution to it. There was a menu for the CPU that i had to change the menu's were 6.00-13.00, Stupidly i put the highest one on there and when i saved and restarted it, i went to the bios and looked at the CPU info nad it showed that i was on 1034Mhz FSB.

I ALSO found out that if i do a manual overclock instead of the AI overclocking which didn't allow me to overclock to 30%, I an able to overclock to 3.4Ghz. This was pretty awesome till i tried to boot and i got the BSOD then i went back to the BIOS and lover the speed to 3.14Ghz then it worked but i dont really see and significant speed changes.

Any other tips to how i can increase stability?
