    I would like to over clock my E6750 CPU, but I have never overclocked before. I know my ram does not overclock well. So i will need to use the ram at stock speed. Cooler is a H70 and MB is the amazing P5K-wifi Delux.

    looking for guides and Folding stable targets. FSB target and Voltage figures. :D

    Realtemp say atm not under load temps 23C and Distance to TJ max 77

    What speed ram do you have? Even if you have 800mhx ram you can still use a FSB of 400 with a multi of 8 giving you a 3.2ghz CPU. If you have faster ram you can overclock it to around the 3.66 mark.
    I know to get an overclock of 3.66 i had to use a voltage core of 1.52. If you leave everything at stock and put in 1.48 volts you should get a 3.4GHZ overclock.

    Well personally I'd get it to 3.2GHz, just up the FSB and lower the RAM ratio then check stability and temps using Prime95 and Realtemp. Then if that goes well I'd slowly up the FSB until it becomes unstable, then just lower it slightly. I wouldn't bother increasing the voltage at all. Then once your happy with a speed run prime95 for several hours (4-5) to be sure it's stable :)

    With the RAM just try to get the FSB > RAM ratio as close to the rated speed as you can.

    Leave Speedstep on to save you power.

    Use CPU-Z to pull any info you need.

    Good luck :thumb:

    PC2-6400 (400 MHZ) this was not supposed to be in my system I had to give away my Crucial ballistics because this ram would not function on another pc that I no longer have access to due to a move :(

    Sorry what now If I just up voltage that will overclock my CPU ... come again??

    I don't even need that, 3.4GHz @ 1.18v... So I'd suggest just trial and error. The motherboard will most likely have auto voltage control, while I've found can be a big volt-happy. Just manually set it to 1.2v and you'll be fine :)

    I would advise against such high voltages for daily use.
    You should easily be able to get 3.2G with an FSB of 400.
    Just increase the fsb until you get instability, then up the voltage.
    See how it goes ;)

    I just said I would advise against such high voltages!
    I seem to spend half my posts here recommending lower voltages :p
    I mean, don't get my wrong, I'm more than happy to pump 1.8v+ through a chip, just not for daily use

    what is a good starting point 3 GHz or 3.2 GHZ? don't want to spend days BSOD testing just need a bit more power to hold me over till quarter 4 and soc 2011. (I'm happy to leave it on burn in testing over night of course set realtemp or such to auto shut down if temps get to high btw what is to high for this CPU?

    I used to run mine on 2 tenths of a volt over stock on the CPU, at 3.5. 3.2 with 400fsb would be a good boost though without making your rig consume much more power.

    Con some one give me a list of stats to start from. I lost my copy of CPC with the guid to overclocking E6600 CPUS on my main board.
    Just a list of:
    FSB
    Voltage
    Memory ratio (My ram is 400MHz)
    for a target of 3.2
    This way I have a starting point to get me close to hopefully 3.4-6 target. :) thanx again for every ones help. I miss all the great stickies we had in CP own webpage. Still finding my feet here :D

    you got a 45nm chip, his is 65nm...

    My q6600 runs at 3.6 on 1.34v. I wouldnt put move than 1.4v through a 65nm chip that you want to use every day for a long time.

    Ok used CPU-Z to find out I have:
    E6750 Conroe 56nm
    Stepping B, Revision GO
    Family 6 Model F

    Funny thing is the CPU is rated to 2.66 GHz
    and the Multiplier is at 6X and my RAM is 400 MHZ (800 ram) which would suggest it only goes to 2.44GHZ. Now I know there is something I am missing there but what is it, because I do not have a EE CPU.

    NVM just saw that my RAM is on a 5:6 ratio (FSB:DRAM) its hovering at 400.7 MHz
    5,5,5,15 BTW

    how do I find out my true multiplier? I am running NOS (auto overclock) and now my multiplier is at 8X FSB 335.x MHz 1.24 Volts and CPU goes from 2.68 to 2.72 Ghz (temps up from 24 now on 27 not under load.

    Thats speedstep, adjusting the multi/voltage depending on the load on the cpu.
    The cpu you have is 8x333 stock.
    Put voltage to 1.3, fsb to 400, everything else auto, see what happens, adjust voltages up/down depending on whether it works/fails etc.
    No 2 setups are the same, even if they have all the same components, you just got to play around.

    thnx every one I will try what you said. 1 last thing should I leave Speed stepping on? if I do not will it go up when I "need" it to?

    I do on mine as I don't want mine set to 100% constantly.

    Could not find a CPU voltage under 1.5 so I left on auto and its now on 1.32.
    temps up to 30-32 no load and TJ is hovering on 70c
    what temp can my CPU handle 24/7? temp? TJ max? so I can have it auto shut down if it goes over while I burn test.

    Running prime full load hovers at 50c I LOVE MY H70 and Antec 900 Case!
    update:
    FSB 400
    CPU 3.2 GHz
    Voltage (Auto) 1.296v
    x8

    Running for 25 min stable :D

    21 hours later all 100% stable. Thank you again to every one here for your help. Now I think I might just manage till quarter 4 2011 :D
