new to overclocking

cant get image to work ;(

For 3ghz the voltage looks to high. e.g. Speedstep is lowing your multiplier to x6, it also lowers the voltage. Now, if 1.36 is the voltage AFTER lowing, I'm going to hazard a guess that you have your voltage set too high in BIOS.

what that look like ?anything i need to change

screen just locked on me so reset to default settings in bios ;(

Turn C1E Speedstep/Intel EIST off while you try to get the overclock going. It's a lot easier without it.

do i need to change ram voltage an timings if so what to cheers

is the the way to do it to take to 3.0ghz ?

for 3ghz you will need to set a FSB and CPU Multiplier

So either 333FSB and *9 Multiplier or 375FSB and * 8 Multiplier

Did you read any of my posts? :/

what should the cpu volt be aswell pneumonic?

yes i did but as i said i am a complete beginner at this so you need to bear with me i was struggling with ram volt an ram timmings for my ram

sorry to be a pain

CPU voltage is dependant on the CPU.. as I said in one of the previous posts download and run coretemp.. this will show you the VID of the CPU.. this is its default voltage.. set the CPU Vcore (Volts) to this in the BIOS.. 90% of Q6600 will do 3ghz @ VID voltage.. if it isnt stable you may have to up the voltage by a little say for example you VID is 1.300v you may need to up the vcore to 1.325v

Ninja Edit:

Also do not worry about asking questions we were all new to this at some point or other... I would suggest though if you have a question then use the search tool.. a lot of people have probably given relavent advice to others

A vid is actually pictured in his last post. I say A vid as it's most definitely wrong. Also looks like the op has speedstep running.

right gone to 2.7 ghz first
fsb freq=300
dram freq =1001
ram timmings 6-6-6-23,
doing stress test now ,does it look ok from these 2 screen shots,or anything u would change cheers

k did small stress test no probs had to play cod4 scrim so didnt do the next test ,got blue screen with the writing all over after playing for about 4 mins ,is this the memory settings ? decided to put it back to stock memory settings well auto ,will this hurt anything ?

Temps
normal load
core #0 34c 48c-50c
core #1 32c 48c-50c
core #2 31c 46c-49c
core #3 30c 46c-49c

Make sure "round off checking" is ticked on prime95 (in advanced tab) as this will show if any errors occur.

Pneumonic · 2 Oct 2008 at 08:40

would imagine you need some more vcore.. maybe 1.3v under load perhaps a little more

MooMoo444 · 2 Oct 2008 at 09:07

Don't know if its just me, but for 1066 RAM, 6-6-6-23 seems a bit slow, unless you're running them below stock till your CPU is stable.

Rabbit08 · 2 Oct 2008 at 09:18

yeah moomoo it blue screened me so put them back to stock settings an is stable at the min an how much should i go up on the vcore in the bios ,cheers

MooMoo444 · 2 Oct 2008 at 09:27

For vcore try to stay below 1.5v though that's for extreme clocks to be honest, are you still trying 2.7 or are you trying higher now?

Rabbit08 · 2 Oct 2008 at 09:29

i am going to try for 3.0 ghz just wanted to know if this looking ok an what i am doing now looks right ,anything you would change for to get there ie ram or anthing else i may have missed
