Has anyone got this combo, and got anywhere with overclocking.

Im still noob on the memory stuff and wondered if someone coudl help me how i should hav this setup or the board settings to get the best out of them.

I have currently a E6600 cpu but not getting anywhere ,, prior had a e6300 which went upto 3ghz easy this aint bugin over 2.7!! why oh why.. thought it could be my psu as i hav got a 8800gts in and the juice is not enough so just ordered a corsair hx620 to replace my tagan 480w. will find out if this helps by tommrw but if u can kindly tell me settings i shouls use would be ToPs!
:rolleyes:

when you say 1:1 ... and sorry in being a Noob.. but you mean place it 33.3 or was that PCI to 100? in the settings thanks.

yep.. somehow the board is funny with the ram not doing what it should do.

still waiting for some 8500 ram currently got the gskill 64000 HZ modules , they should get up to 1000 or slightly lower.

I have now reached 2.974 with 330 fsb set the setting at PCI to 100 and something else to 33.3... but my latencies are droped to 5-5-5-15 once i found my best speed i will up the latency i guess to see what will happen.

UPDATE: now upped the latencies to 4-4-4-12 at 2.97 speed. I was unable to go any higher than this, with lower timings.

WHAT Voltage max can i go up on the CPU ?

my batch of 8500 will come next week now had to send the others to a friend. Thinking this CPU is not doing what i want and was one of the first batches of e6600 im gona get the E6700 and see what i get!!

Else its another board like maybethe p5b or the ABIT 650 chipset. Fata1ity..
Also thinking maybe of the new p35 chipset p5K but thats a little more on the price with that price could go to to the 680 chipset my limits to be around £140.

i have managed to get some settings mostly on auto and switched of Hyper off,

now i have reached 3ghz but it wont go any higher with stability did get in with 3.15ghz blue screened had my volts up too.

thisiswith 4-4-4-12 on gskill HZ running at 834mhz i thought these could hit upto 1000 i cannot get them to run at 900? maybe need to loosen the timings!!

thanks all for your help though.

OH yeh with my new psu nothing i can see has majorly improved except that my 8800 seems to have it fan running much faster ??!!! i had moved from 480w to this 620w
