How do i OC a Abit IP35 Pro w/Q6600 to 3.2 Ghz?

Question

Hi i just recently got a new computer that has an Abit IP35 Pro motherboard with a Quad core q6600 4GB(RAM) PC2-8500 and a Inno3D nVIDIA Geforce 9600GT 512MB DDR3 video card.

I'm not sure how to overclock but would like to learn so bare with me when i ask how to OC this system to about 3.2 Ghz stable?

Thanks for the help!

Answer 1

basically you enter the BIOS and slowly turn the FSB speed up testing it with each step by booting into windows. your motherboard might have a OC feature built in i know ASUS boards do. when you get to the point where it won't boot up you are past stable and need to unplug the power cable for a few to allow the BIOS settings to reset then you can just set the FSB to a speed that did work
