I built my old man a i5 system about 3 months back and now that I finished his build with buying a new GPU I want to do a slight overclock.
Board
ASUS P7P55D EVO
I5 750 2.67ghz
G.SKILL 4GB (2 x 2GB) 1600 9-9-9-24 1.5v
The issue I find myself is ASUS bios settings are almost alien to what I am use to. It also does not have the typical multiplier layout of the AM2/775 socket boards so is there a good FAQ on site or else where explaining the process?
Goal is 3.2ghz. Small I know but for what he does he doesn't need a 4ghz monster.....yet. I am also curious is it possible to leave memory at stock with the i5? I find little benefit on older boards overclocking it and I find I avoid a lot of problems on my Q6600 when I leave my memory at stock.
Thank you.
*edit*
Well after a little bit of toying around I figured it out. Just bump the bclk but the issue I have is its also overclock my ram....would manually setting the ram solve it or would it cause issues?
