Hello. I have a problem that i hope somebody maybe able to help me with.
Up till this afternoon i was able to overclock my E6550 on a P35C-DS3R to 3.2mhz with no problem. I had a problem in that it would not post after a reboot. So i reset the bios. Now it will not overclock at all.
If i set the fsb to 458*7 =3.2mhz in bios, when i reboot it shows on the post screen it is only at the default (333*7=2.33mhz), going back into bios it still shows that the fsb is @458.
Ive tried cpuz and also EVEREST Ultimate and both say the same thing the cpu is running at 2.33mhz.
I thought updating the bios might sort out the problem so i did, from the F10 to F11 but it hasnt.
Also if i used the load optimal settings in the bios it sets the fsb to 100*7 = 700Mhz which is below the default.
So any advice that anybody can give me would be gratefully excepted in getting this problem sorted.
Here are a couple of photo to show what im on about.

Sorry mate i think you have missed the point of what im trying to sort out. Thought thanks for your reply. im not tring to underclock it at all i want to overclock. when i use the optimial setting in bios it sets the clock to 100*7=700mhz and not what it should be (333*7=2.33). After i have set the fsb to 458*7=3.2Ghz and reboot all i get is the post screen showing that i have not infact got a overclock at all (see second picture). but if i go back into bios it still shows the fsb to be 458*7 (see first picture).

yeah. i had it overclocked to 3.2ghz since i bought this board and that was 3 months ago. up till this afternoon i didnt have a problem with it. it was running lovely. 12 prime etc. this afternoon i rebooted cos i hadnt done it for a week or so, but it hung before the post screen. so i cleared cmos and then that is when the problem started. no matter what i set the fsb to in bios it still shows on reboot no overclock. (but if i look in the bios it says it is)

You sure it just not speedstep clocking it down while idle? Run Orthos at the same time and see what cpu-z says.  The bios screen on mine shows the default for the cpu...
Intel e7200 @ 4.0GHz (4.32GHz SuperPi(e)) Lapped Asus P5E-VM (Vdroop pencil modded) 4Gb Patriot Pc6400 4-4-4-12 250Gb Samsung Spinpoint Sapphire ATI 3870/Akasa Vortexx Neo Enermax 600 Watt PSU Ubuntu/Win XP All in a Thermaltake Handbag... Or flying @ 4.21GHz in the Stacker. Try some MM Super Pi(e) here!
