Well firstly hello guys not been here for a while and such. Now i would really like to overclock my processor. I've just got a newer motherboard witch is much better than what I had. So my setup is as follows. Processor : Intel e6300 @ 1.83 Ghz RAM: OCZ Gold 6400 2GB Motherboard : Asus P5ke WiFi << ( I know thats lame but it's new to me bahah ) Graphics Card: EVGA 8800GTS HDD: Seagate 250GB Now i've had a little look in the BIOS and to me it does look rather scary however, i really would like to see what i could push this chip to. So what can i get it to maby 2.5 Ghz ? So the pc's tempreture on idle is about 32/34 it's not a stock cooler i've got a freezer pro. I've looked at videos on youtube and have read post on this forum and various other ones. But i would really like some advice and a push in the right direction.
I had my 1.8 E6300 to boot windows at 3.7Ghz under water, but couldn't go higher because my memory was too slow. Unless that OCZ 6400 ram clocks like hell, that is probably going to be your limiting factor. You should be able to hit 2.8Ghz on stock volts and without overclocking the ram, easily (400mhz x 7 cpu ----- 400x2 mem) . Then go from there.
Ok.. So i've just done what you said changed the FSB to 400 and left pretty much all as standard here is a prnt screen of the temps now i was hitting 36 at idle before and now i'm getting this... I don't think i could push it any higher maby ajust the timing on thr ram witch i think is 5-5-5-14?
51C at idle?? I think I'd look at my cooling before I took that any further, tbh. Have you got the fan on quiet mode or something? needs to not be. If not, maybe worth re-applying your tim or forcing it up. I'd hate to have to worry what that'll hit at full load.
Freezer Pro.. I've taken the setting back to standard don't wanna break things.. I've turned the fan speeds up and seems to be a little cooler on stock settings..
Ok, today I've installed a Corsair H50 and managed to clock again... After those temps went back to stock. Also a recent upgrade new case Antec 300 and an additional 2GB of memory. So I've got the FSB @ 400 and seems to be running all fine and dandy. Witch gives me 2.8 could I get to 3.2 ? I had prime 95 running for a few hours and was rather happy. Would a photo of my settings help maby?
Ok.. Raise the FSB then There's parts I don't completely understand all of it. If I took a picture of my settings could someone tell me where to go from here?
So I've taken a few little pictures of the BIOS and see what you think. I've also noticed with the multiplier at 7 with the FSB set at 400x7 should give 2.8 witch I see however... the when using CPUID the multiplier is sometime 6 and I get 2.4 ghz and then changes to 7 and then get 2.8 :/ Is there some powersaving settings to be turned off? ^^ I get 2.8 in the bios So was reading somewhere with the memory I have my maximum FSB would be 400 because 800/2 = 400 giving me the max. So tweaking something else to get to 3ghz.
from now on in you will have to overclock your memory, its no big deal id imagine it should do 450mhz easy. just up the fsb some more and see what happens
I upped the FSB to 450 and changed the dram frequency to 901 I think well the next one up and the machine wouldn't boot and no display out... I took the cmos battery out and was all fine and went back to what I was running how can I overclock the memory what should i change?
