What did I get myself into today?
Lets just say it involved a friend's ASUS P5k-VM and an E6750.
I cannot believe how horrible that board is for overclocking. It literally does not allow you to adjust the timings, voltages, or manually enter memory frequency. It basically has the worst overclocking options I've witnessed on a modern board in decades. It's basically auto overclocking... still managed to squeeze out a 420MHz FSB out of it which yielded us a 3.3GHz which was a healthy 25% OC.
In addition to that, I hooked him up with a nice new CPU cooler[GELID Tranquillo] to keep everything nice and cool to make sure his stock cooler didn't melt into the ground.
Overall, please remind me to never try to help someone overclock a board as crappy as that one. I demand overclocking boards from here on out.
