Something's thats been worrying me.
I plan on getting an E6550 when they come out at the end of July. Lets say I wanted to overclock to 3.6. What fsb will I need to run it at? Sorry I am a noob.
 
It all depends on the multiplier, although I'm not sure what this will be for the E6550. However, lets say it's X9. So, 3600MHz divided by 9 = 400FSB.

Think its 7x for 2.33Ghz. So you'd need about 514-515MHz thereabouts for 3.6Ghz

Ouch. Not many boards can do those sort of fsb's. I think ill stick to the E6420.
 
Yeah unfortunately higher default FSB = much more FSB needed and usually a much lower multiplier than cpus of the same speed but lower FSB, great for stock, not so good for overclocking since you prolly gotta pay a bit more coin for a mobo that clocks that well, along with other stuff like RAM if you want to take full advantage of the FSB.
 
Dear gods.. the voltage.. omg. Hopefully this is a prelude to a better stepping chip on the higher multi ones. Looks like 4Ghz on a normal oc soon :D.
 
i have the qx6850 quad core this is one of the yet to be released CPU's by intel and it has a 1333 FSB, the multiplier is set to 9 as standard and 1.2volts on air it overclocks stable at 3.72ghz im sure i can get a little more from this but dont really know what im doing.

ive seen 4ghz but it will not boot into windows.

Sell it me I know what i'm doing :D


But seriously... have you tried upping the volts to get it to 4Ghz ? What does TAT say about your temps ? Sound like a nice chip.
