so i ran cpu-z earlier just to make sure my ram was running in dual channel mode and whats this? why does it not show both of my processors cores? whats the deal?
It does. Look on the bottom right, where it says "Cores: 2". If you're talking about the drop-down box, I believe with the newer versions they dont show it.
You guys need to teach me how to OC. Would you think I will be able to reach those same speeds on Gigabyte DS3 3.3? Oh, on stock cooling. As for the cores, yes that's how it shows up. I have the same version and at first I thought of the same exact thing you did; then looked around and noticed the 2 cores.
Do you have the E6300/E6320? 3.3Ghz might be pushing it, but the DS3 is a great overclocking motherboard, you might be able to hit 3.2-3.4Ghz.
Yea e6300. As yours. Atleast 3.0? I was just thinking of copying your setup and just bringing it up to 3.0... what do you think? I have a sense of how to oc it, but I just have no clue when to change the multiplier, voltage, etc.
I had an E6300, eVGA 680i, 2GB Patriot DDR2-667, and a 320GB HD. I read a guide online which told me what settings to disable and what voltages to raise, which helped me reach 3.2Ghz.
