Please Critique this Overclock (Q6600 + P5B Deluxe)

Mikoyan · 4 Oct 2008 at 18:37

Hey guys,

Its been a long time since I have overclocked and was wondering if you could critique my OC

Setup is:

CPU: Q6600

Motherboard: Asus P5Q Deluxe

Memory: Team Extreme 4 x 1 gig (4 gig) PC 6400

I have attatched images form CPUZ and Coretemp.

Please note Temp's from Coretemp is currently from a running Prime 95 (Small FFT's)

I know my ram is underclocked is this a problem?

Cheers

Mikoyan :cool:

Edit: Thanks Van Diemen!

How can I make the images so you can see them onscreen rather than going to imageshack to view ?

I use Photobucket, much better than Imageshack IMO.

nice OC by the way

41 views and no critics? I presume all is well? :confused:

all looks good.. you can probably get 3.6ghz before you top out on temps

Mikoyan · 4 Oct 2008 at 22:08

yea im sure 3.6 can be done easily just want to be 100% stable with this...is the memory being underclocked ok?

Also how are the temps?

Thanks :cool:

What cooling are you using to get thos kind of temps using SP?

Im a real noob at this...dont know what SP is

Im using a Thermalright Ultra-120 Extreme CPU Cooler (Socket AM2/LGA775)

and 1 x Noctua NF-P12 120mm Silent Case Fan - 3 Pin

Going to add another one in front so they both pull air into the Antec 1200 Top 120mm fan.

Just to add the Heatsink and CPU have been Lapped

SP= Stress Prime or Orthos (basically any CPU/RAM stress test), I was just to lazy to type out words so used abreviations instead!

I would lossen the memory out to 5-5-5-18 for now can be clocked later.. its ok at the moment but you dont want to stress that as well, want to make sure you know why the clock is failing.. other than that it is all looking good

You were right it even the 3.4 isnt 100% stable..

I have losened the timings back to 5,5,5,18.

Even did a prime 95 with everything at stock just to make sure my default system is ok lol..

Now back at 2.7mhz (just to test)

Moving back to 3.4ghz but this time just need to know what to increase?

I see you wrote on another post about VTT and FSB to Northbridge Strap as well as PLL...I dont think I have even changed any of these what should I increase it by?

Edit: Just read your Guide its really helpful
