Question posted by FLKeith on August 7th, 2011
What Determines The Correct Advanced Clock Control Settings In Bios?
On page 40 of the manual it talks about settings for CPU Clock Drive and the PCI Express Clock Drive. Default is 700mV for both. However, mine are set at 800mV. How do I determine the proper settings. My cpu is Intel Core 2 Quad Q6600. I have the manual but it only goes so deep in explaining the detals of building and fixing computer of but where should I turn to read up and learn more detail about troubleshooting Bios settings? Thanks. Keith
