I recently got myself an aftermarket cooler for my q6600 processor, got some corsair rams with heat sinks, and an XFX HD 5970 Black Edition and was looking forward to overclocking the hell out of everything. However when I check cpu-z after setting an overclock in the bios everything is at stock settings. When I reboot and go back into the bios everything is reset. I haven't got a clue how to fix this.
I have been experiencing low performance with the hd5970 as well (relatively at least, it gets only 16,000 marks in 3dmark vantage when it should get 20k+), and I want to see how everything behaves while overclocked to see if its just my cpu bottlenecking the card or what (I know it will bottleneck the 5970 but it shouldn't be doing it that much).
Thanks in advance
