Noob in distress =[help me overclocking my 6300 please :(

Hi,
Finally built my new PC
Intel Core 2 DUO E6300
GeIL 2GB (2x1GB) PC6400C4 800MHz
Gigabyte GA_965P_DS3
Tuniq Tower 120 CPU Cooler
Anyway i tryed following a couple of guide's in the motherboard section only to have ended up having to take the bio's battery out and in just so i can boot my PC to type this message :o (Only made it to 2.3ghz so I am messing up big somwhere?)

So I've decided to start from scratch if any of you pro overclocker's can give me a step by step guide.

There's some picture if it help's.
Thankyou for any help you guy's have to offer i relise there are thousand's of thread's similar to this, I just don't want to wrekc my new build by doing sumthing wrong :(

OK - I don't think this should be a problem.

I would definitely check out the CPU fan though as the last screenie shows it stopped. A stopped CPU fan probably isn't good.

Anyway - lets assume that your PC is just very cool and the motherboard has stopped the CPU fan all by itself (mine does).

Reboot the PC, press the DEL key to get into the BIOS.

Once in the BIOS, arrow over to 'LOAD OPTIMIZED DEFAULTS' and select that. It will ask if you are sure, confirm that you are the PC will reboot.

Use the DEL key to get back into the BIOS again.

Go to ADVANCED BIOS FEATURES and select that.

Set the following to Disable;

CPU Hyperthreading
CPU Enhanced Halt (C1E)
CPU EIST Function
Virtualization Technology

Press ESC to come out of that menu.

Go to the Motherboard Intelligent Tweaker (MIT) and select that.

Set CPU Host Clock Control to Enabled

You will now be able to change the CPU Host Frequency.

As you were already at 2.4GHz Set it to 333 to start with.

Now set the PCI Express Frequency to 100

Now select System Memory Multiplier

Set that to 2.00. Your memory will now happily overclock with the CPU up to FSB of 400, which is 2.8GHz. After that the memory will also be overclocked.

Depending on your Memory, you may need to adjust the DIMM overvoltage control by between 0.1 and 0.3V to give between 1.9V and 2.1V.

Leave all the memory options on AUTO for the moment. It's not optimal, but it's not going to slow you down much either.

Press F10 to save and restart. If that's nice and stable - use SuperPi 1M places as a quick test, then go up 5MHz.

That should be stable. The most common mistake I see is people over-clocking the RAM by increasing the System Memory Multiplier when they should be decreasing it.

Give that a go up to 400MHz FSB in 5 MHz steps and let us know how you get on.

If it goes too hard, the system will auto-reset and let back in at the last settings that worked, so don't worry.

PLEASE DON'T INCREASE THE VCORE VOLTAGE AT THIS POINT - IT'S NOT NECESSARY and it's the only way to damage you processor.
 
Ok on my Bio's my seting's are...
Cpu host clock control enabled
CIA2 Disbabled (default)
System memory muti 2.00
Pci express locked at 100
Dimm overvoltage control + 0.4
Cpu V 1.43V
(g)MCH overvoltage control +1
FSB overvoltage control +1

Ram timming's are...
Frequency 400mhz
FSB:DRAM 2:3
CAS latency 5
RAS to CAS delay 5
RAS Precharge 5
Clycle time (Tras) 15

Does that mean i should be able to reach a bus speed of 400mhz?
 
Ok think i have a prob :(

Could you run CoreTemp and see what the real CPU temperature is please?

Something's definitely not right with that copy of CPUz - the memory:FSB ratio is wrong.
 
I ran the Stress some ramtest and it got 1 error after 1min 4 secs.Does this suggest one of my ram stick my be faulty?should i take 1 stick out and see what happen's?
 
Ok i reset CMOS again and put memory muti to 2 and set cpu freq at 400 and it booted fine :confused:
Running 2 set's of sp 2004 for over 5 mins now without any error's
My ram is
ratio 1.1
5
5
5
18
It seem's to be adjusting the V on it's own, Easytune report's 1.41 for cpu and 2.10 for ram(Is that ok?)
At load both my core temp's are 40C

This sp 2004 got a error the other one is still going, What does that mean?One of the core's has reached it limit?
 
Good. The voltages are fine. Keep an eye on the temperatures.

Try to stress-test for much more than 5 minutes - as you'll only see the temperatures rise after about 20 minutes.

Click to expand...

Or it might need a LITTLE more voltage.

It should be fine at 400 - normally the RAM is holding it back.
