System resets FSB speeds on restart (Read 584 times)

Hello all. I'm rarely found in this forum, but I need some help now. Here we go...

I have the DG33TL Intel motherboard with the Q6700 running at the stock speed of 2.66GHz. However, when I play FSX, I like to crank it up to 3GHz. But because it's in an Intel motherboard, it doesn't allow overclocking by BIOS. So I use a program called SetFSB to change the FSB speed to 3GHz. Everything runs good and it makes a world of difference in my FSX performance -- that's why I do it. BUT when I restart the computer, the motherboard resets the speed back to 2.66GHz, so I have to change the speeds every time I want to play FSX, which is quite annoying.


What I want to know is:

Is there anything I can do to the BIOS or motherboard to make it stop resetting speeds or allow me to overclock manually?

Sorry about the late reply, but you can replace the motherboard.

Annoying as it is, it might be worth putting up with, the PC will use less power anyway when not clocked up.

It may be possible to run the program in the startup or script it so it clocks up when you begin windows, I'm not familiar with that program, but hey, you're lucky to have that working!
