q6600 Overclock Help

daz_f · 4 Jun 2008 at 13:26

can Someone help me overclock my computer
i have a asus p5e3 deluxe board
q6600 cpu
2 x 1gb of ocz 1333mhz ddr3

so far all i did was up the fsb to get cpu 2.6 but after that it failed to boot

cheers
Darren

What voltage are you using for CPU ?what FSB and Multiplier are you using ?

Pilky01 · 4 Jun 2008 at 13:39

yer up the cpu voltage and it should boot.

daz_f · 4 Jun 2008 at 13:49

i will have a look later.at the moment i took it back to standard 2.4

Cob · 4 Jun 2008 at 16:12

Should do atleast 3ghz without touching any of the voltages, other than setting the correct memory voltage. Just be sure to adjust the memory ratio so that your memory speed isn't pushed too high.

daz_f · 4 Jun 2008 at 16:23

just checked in the bios and the setting at the moment which is standard running cpu at 2.4

is
fsb auto but its 266
cpu ratio auto
pcie auto
cpu voltage auto
cpu pll voltage auto
fsb termination voltage auto
dram voltage auto
nb voltage auto
sb voltage auto
clock over charging voltage auto

hope that helps if could advise me

how do i do that

is that the dram voltage
how do i find out what my voltage should be
what should my ratio be

3ghz is that with the standard cooler

Yip DRAM Voltage.

OCZ usually print the recommended voltage on the stickers attached to each stick.

Set FSB to 334mhz.
Set PCI-E to 101mhz.
Set CPU Voltage to whatever Core Temp says your VID is plus 0.025v.
Set DRAM Voltage to whatever the recommended voltage.
Set Clock Over Charging Voltage to disabled if you can.
Set PLL, FSB Termination, NB and SB voltages to their lowest setting.

That should get you an easy 3ghz providing you set a memory ratio/setting that won't push your memory too far.

i understand the rest but what does the above mean
whats vid

whats a good memory ratio/setting to have
Here's a link to my memery

Cob · 4 Jun 2008 at 16:37

VID is the default voltage for your CPU. Download Core Temp from here and it will give you your VID. Then add 0.025v to it to be safe.

says fsb is 267.27 x 6.0
vid 1.1625v

did you see my link to my memory

vinny7 · 4 Jun 2008 at 16:45

Darren, I aint being funny m8, but if ya dont know too much about BIOS values, yer gonna have a hard time overclocking.

There's some great threads on this forum and others, have a read around. Peeps here are very helpful and informative, but you do need to know the basics, otherwise you end up chasing your tail.

Cob · 4 Jun 2008 at 16:45

Your VID reading is wrong because you have Speedstep/C1E/EIST enabled in the BIOS. Disable them (will probably only be two of them) and your true VID will be shown.

OCZ list your memory as 1.7v, but they'll allow you to go as high as 1.9v.

And please don't link to competitors please

daz_f · 4 Jun 2008 at 17:00

just disabled speedstep

now my vid voltage is 1.2500v

Cob · 4 Jun 2008 at 17:02

Ooooh that's pretty damn good. Most are 1.325v.

Set it to 1.275v in BIOS and that should be enough to do upto atleast 3.2ghz.

sorry about the link did not know

what do i set my dram to 1.7 or slight higher and what about ratio

Cob · 4 Jun 2008 at 17:12

Yeah try it at 1.7v til you've finished clocking the CPU.

As for ratio, the board should use the actual memory speed as it's ratio (ie - it will list 1333mhz if it's available, but this will rise and fall as you adjust your FSB). Also changing the FSB Strap To Northbridge option will give you more memory speeds to choose from. I would keep the memory speed close to only 1000mhz til you've finished clocking the CPU. After that you can worry about setting a high memory speed and setting its voltage above 1.7v.

daz_f · 4 Jun 2008 at 17:36

got it running at 3ghz with the above setting

but i have speedstep set to disable but when i use cpu-z
it shows my system is running at
core temp 2009.8mhz
multipler x6

when i click on or do something
i get the core going upto 3000 mhz
multipler x9

cheers

Cob · 4 Jun 2008 at 17:38

Disable CPU Ratio Control, C1E support and CPU TM Function too, and manually set your CPU multiplier to x9.
