Hi,

I am an Eclipse SLI with BIOS v1.4. When I enable the Extreme Memory Profile, the Base Clock option is no longer visable but I do then get a Ratio option. The only was I can oveclock the CPU is to up the Ration from 20 to 21 and then use the Overclocking Centre within Vista.

Is it a case of one or the other? With the XMP enabled, all 12GB of my RAM runs at 1600MHz just fine.

My obejective is to get my CPU to run at 3.2GHz and have my memory running at 1600MHz - is this possible?

System specification as below - Thanks.

You should be able to just set your 'Base Clock Switch' on the board to 166 to give you 3.32 on the CPU (166X20=3.32). :rtfm: Check the manual for the correct switch positions.

Hi,

Thank you for your suggestion. In the end I raised the base clock to 161 and changed the memory ratio to 5. This gave me 3.2GHz for the CPU and all 12GB of my memory runs at 1600MHz.

Just for others who might read this, you need to have both the Extreme Memory Profile and the Advanced XMP options enabled, as if you only have XMP enabled the Base Clock option for the CPU is not visible.

One last thing, the Nocutura CPU cooler is amazing. Even under load using Flight Simulator X with the overclocking, my CPU never exceeded 35 deg C, the IOH 63 deg C and the system 26 deg C.
