FSB hasn't changed

[xy1971]

Hi,
I've finally decided to OC. I changed the FSB to 333, but on CPU-Z it says its still at 266. So its still showing 2.4 Ghz when it should be at 3.0 Ghz. Why?
I also changed PCI-Express Frequency to 100Mhz from auto and changed the SPD to 2.0 from auto as instructed by somebody else.

I changed the FSB to 333 previously and it showed up on CPU-Z running at 3Ghz, but it failed with Prime95. So I tried a couple of things I was told and now I'm confused (easily done)LOL.

Some setups wont show the oc until the cpu is under stress. RUn PRime95 and view cpuz

I just tried your suggestion and it's still saying 266 @ 2.4Ghz. I'm going to reset the cmos and start again. Cheers anyway.

Follow the many guides available for your cpu and board such as: http://www.tomshardware.co.uk/forum/page-245679_11_0.html

Whoo hoo. I fixed it, just don't ask me how. Running at 3Ghz after a overnight running of Prime95.

That CPU should go to 3.6 on air quite easily.
