I have played with the dummy overclock...... its a quick overclock option, but there was so difference when in windows and using the programs to verify the cpu speed..... it still showed stock

well disabling HT sucks, why would you want to do that?

did you read Matt's posts? He said

So I have discovered that enabling hyperthreading in my bios prevents it from oc'ing my cpu. Also, when HT is enabled, win7 does not actually detect it anyways.

I loaded optimized defaults and i seems to have unlocked mine.

Okay, Firstly I would like to thank all you replied to this post. I appreciate your input, suggestions and ideas.

returned home from a short vacation tonight. The computers been off for a few days now. Since my first post to three days ago, I have been messing with the bios non stop, trying to get a overclock to read in windows... well...now it does....

I "reset" bios to defaults (yet again), rebooted and then only changed 3 settings in the bios....

1 - i turned on the "eleet" option to "enable"
2 - changed my multyplier to 45
3 - enabled the setting for volts when exceeding 4.0 ghz (Internal PLL Voltage)

now windows shows the overclock... weird I say..... i wonder if in the end it had something to do with the windows updates.... I have had it off for a long time and just now have started to download the upadates. Wondering if it had anything to do with the Sp1 which i installed or the netframe work updates......

I'm Glad you can Play

since i have everyone still here, i thought maybe i could bounce this off all of you...

now the cpu is running at 4.5 ghz... this is what the memory is showing in cpuZ..... seems rather slow no?

bios settings are as follows under the memory configuration tab:

Memory frequency : 1600mhz
timings are set to: 8-8-8-24 (factory settings on sticks)


i do not remember seeing a "linked" or "unlinked" options in bios..... is this where XMp profiles come into play?

[G777]

If your kit is 1600Mhz memory it's running correctly.

DDR = Double Data Rate, so 798.3 X 2 = 1596

[IRQ Conflict]

Exactly right. What does it say in the extended mem profile tab?
