6400 OC

Souness · 24 Mar 2007 at 16:05

Just got my 6400 to my target overclock of 3.2Ghz, with FSB +0.1V , MCH +0.1V and Vcore@ 1.43, maximum load temp of 55oC. Question is: i want to find the lowest stable voltages to reduce the Temp, but I am not sure which i should try reducing first?

Edit: also, is it wise to leave CPU Enhanced Halt (C1E)/EIST function switched on? Or is it going to make things unstable?

CPU Enhanced Halt (C1E)/EIST shouldn't affect the overclock. If you're wanting the power-saving features then leave it on.

Have you tried lowering the vcore?

i just ran orthos on the above settings, and it failed after 30 minutes.
I'm running a DS3P. Should i continue by nudging up the vcore or the chipset voltages?

What's your RAM settings?

Geil 6400, i'm running it at the default timings (4-4-4-12) and speed (800). Set the overvoltage to +0.3.
