It will not let me upload or post the Diaxdag info...i tried and it said i cannot upload links pictures or videos when i hit preview post so this is what i got.

I would like to upgrade my mobo. I am willing to spend up to about 300 dollars for one. Reason for wanting to upgrade my mobo is to overclock my CPU which i have a Cooler master 212 + cooling it but i cant refresh the multiplyer higher then 39, it is the current bios setting and i have tried playing with the FSB which is how i got it to 4.1GHz but even with upping the wattage minorly and increasing more FSB my system just crashes.

So a couple of my friends said i should get a new mobo and i have no idea what would be a good mobo to get.

you already have a Z68 board and a K series chip so you should be able to tweak the multiplier.
is your bios updated?

[AizenSosuske]

Yes, its updated to the current version. f10
I would link the gigabyte website with the bios but i cant. Lol.

alright any chance you are willing to check via the smart6 tool if the multiplier is truly locked? (auto OC tool , won't give the best oc but guess we can use it to see if you can push multiplier past 39)

I'm assuming you use the "Quick boost" in smart6..when i click that it says this
"The mainboard isnt supported!!!"

Asus Maximus V Formula

price: $290
CPU: LGA 1155. matches
Ram: matches
GPU: matches. can support the 2
xtra: usb3 connector, lots of sata ports, debug led, power/reset buttons
PSU requirement: 24 AND the 8+4 for top left


i was gonna say get a sabertooth, but your budget allowed something more interesting

hmm it shouldn't say that.
any chance you could contact gigabyte tech support? (because the chipset should be able to overclock)

Why are we recommending $300 motherboards when a $120-$140 will do just as good a job? O_o I don't understand people...

This Gigabyte should do plenty, and at sub-$200, that leaves you a little bit of change. A suggestion would possibly be to sell those GPUs and replace them at the same time.

i totally agree. his budget was high and was already achieving 4.1Ghz. thats my only reasoning behind my suggestion otherwise i wouldve suggested this or this.
