    specs:

    Intel E6600 Core 2 Duo 1066 FSB Dual Core SKT 775 4MB
    GeForce 9800 GX2 1024MB GDDR3
    Team Xtreem 2GB (2 x 1GB) DDR2 PC2-6400C4 800MHz Dual Channel Kit
    150GB Western Digital 10000RPM 16MB Cache Raptor X
    Gigabyte GA_965P_DS3 (Socket 775) PCI-Express DDR2

    Exactly what it says on the tin!!

    My E6600 ran at 2.4ghz by default..so i changed the fsb from 266 to 400..changed the clock ratio frm 9x to 8x and set the multiplier to 2x!

    mem still running at 800 800.

    in system specs says e6600 2.4ghz running at 3.6ghz...shouldnt that be 3.2ghz?

    3dmark score has halved from 11k (default) to 5183..now tfc (old halflife is at 100fps..) but unreal 3 was ay 20fps..what is going on? ive put voltage on automatic so it says optomized voltage!

    SM 2.0 Score
    1958

    SM 3.0 Score
    2345

    CPU Score
    2837

    WTF>

    My mobo f**ked?

    Have you used CPUz or similar to get your actual clock speed? My guess is your actually running under 1Ghz.

    cpuz at idle (as in now) says my cpu is running at 2.4ghz..but when i load ut3 it runs at 3.2ghz but stays at that doesnt go any higher.
