My spec is:

E6600 - Scythe Ninja
Gigabyte DS4 - F5Bios
2gb Geil Ultra PC6400 Cas4

I can't get my cpu stable beyond 2.9ghz??? Bios is showing only 28deg idle at 2.9ghz!

The vcore is set to the board std which is 1.325v

If I try and increase it to something like 1.45v, all I get is 1 long beep (nothing in manual for this btw) and then it re-starts and re-sets the cmos!

Currently I have the system bus set to 320mhz and the ram on 2.5x (but lowered to 2x when clocking), ram is set to 2.1v

Any ideas????????????????????????

Have u tried incrementing the voltage up slowly?

Are u trying to clock from the bios or easytune?

Clocking from bios **** easytune!

Any attempt to change vcore results in not booting, even from 1.325 to 1.35

You should be able to get a lot further than that.

have a read of the DS3 overclocking thread and that'll give you a good guide to get started...

I know..... I'd like to get the ram to 1:1 tbh, but that will mean 3.6ghz on the cpu which I think may be pushing it a bit for air cooling....

As soon as I go above 320mhz on the sys bus the machine bcomes unstable so it must need more juice, but it won't let me juice it up....

I have been told that around 1.45v should let me get the most out of it!

BTW, I did give easytune a try, but any changes I made in that did not change the actual PC settings.... Waste of time IMO

I have same setup as yours and if it's like mine 1.45v will not get you to 3.6ghz...more like 3.3-4ghz if your lucky... 3.6ghz @ 1.5+.....i run mine 24/7 8x460 =3.2 @ 1.39v and have acheived a highest overclock with 9x multi @ 3.770 with 1.55v....but will need water cooling for that kind of heat....all vcore mentioned is set in bios exept 24/7 o/c which 1.39 is cpu-z = 1.425 in bios.

How????

I can't even drop my CPU multi from 9x to 8x or 7x, the whole machine just locks if I do!
 
Right, managed to get it a bit further by disabling EIST and other stuff....

CPU Multi x9
Sys Bus @367mhz
Ram @ 734mhz 1:1 - 4-4-4-12
2.2v Dimm
1.45v Core
+0.1v MCH
+0.1v FSB

Seems to bottom out any higher than that.... 1m superpi @ 15secs though :D

Bios temps are reading CPU @ 34deg & Sys @ 38deg, so there must be some more play there somewhere.

Anyone know what I can safely take the vcore up to???

If you're just looking for 3.2GHz then drop the multi down to 8 and run a 400FSB (the sweet spot for the 965 chipset) with the memory 1:1. That would give better performance & stability.

If I drop my multi to x8 the machine won't boot!!!!!
