Gigabyte DS3
Intel E6300 | Freezer Pro
2x1GB Corsair XMS2-6400
EVGA 7900 GTX

Finally got my new PC built and i am so pleased with it so far my old rig was Barton 3200 with 5900 ultra I used to get 68 fps in css in game stress test my new PC got 160 fps with all setting maxed out :D .BF2 played like a dream again with all setting maxed out.
I've read the article on overclocking and many others. ive read all the things you guys have been doing with much interest.
But i am a little confused was hoping someone could point me in the right direction

1st | screeny is the mobo default setting: Do these seem correct ?

2nd | screeny is what confuses me when i enable CPU host clock the memory frequency drops to 300: Why is this ?

3rd | I've read if you press Ctrl F1 you get more option's tried this to enter the bios and whilst in the bios Nothing happens.

4th | Because all these setting seem very strange to me compared to my old Barton plus ive never overclocked b4 was hopping someone could tell which settings i should be changing first and buy how much and should i make sure others settings in bios are changed b4 i do .

your CPU native speed is 1.87Ghz, and u have a clock ratio of 7,
so your standard CPU host clock control is 267 (x7=1.87GHZ)

Try set the CPU host clock to atleast 267 then see what the memory says (I.E Your standard E6300 speed). OC from 267 upwards.
The default of 100 is just to low, system memory ratio is probibly at 2:3. And your processor would only run at 700Mhz :eek:

Thanks for that
CPU host frequency @ 267 and all seems well.
Memory frequency changed to 801
so would i now just keep adding 5 to CPU host frequency
If i did this memory frequency would keep going up i assume that's not right
do i keep the clock ratio @ 7 or do i drop that to 6 as ive read in the guide and seen in others screen shots of CPU-z
Also do i leave pci-e frequency on auto of should this be changed if so to what.
 
What bios are you running?

I would guess F1?

Mine was showing those settings until I updated to F3 and then it read the clocks correctly.

the F1 bios will not let you do much overclocking you need to be on bios F2 or F3.
Both of these i can run 450+ mhz no problems stock volts
Click to expand...

My mobo doesn't like anything above 266...just get a bsod in windows :(

Have you cleared CMOS and loaded the optimal defaults?

With F3, the CPU Host Control frequency should read 266, giving 1.86Ghz or thereabouts?

The Ctrl + F1 key presses whilst in the bios menu screen just give you some memory timing options and a few other little bits and pieces that are otherwise hidden.

I'd just leave the multiplier at 7x too.

Just keep upping the CPU Host Control frequency a bit at a time until it won't post/boot. Then, you can tweak the voltages a smidgen to see if you can get a bit more?

Although it's the bottom of the pile of the Conroe chips, this E6300 is pretty quick at stock, which is why you've seen the results you have! :)

Enjoy!!
 
cleared cmos and now have all options thanks :D
still worried about Memory frequency do i need to change that or let the figure keep going up as i increase CPU Host Control frequency
also do i need to set PCI-E frequency to a number as ive read if left on auto it will start overclocking gfx which i don t want to do. If yes what to
 
Thanks
last thing i need to no is about Memory frequency
couple of examples
CPU Host Control frequency set@ 276
Memory frequency goes to 828

CPU Host Control frequency set@ 366
Memory frequency goes to 1098

CPU Host Control frequency set@ 466
Memory frequency goes to 1398

So i assume i need to change the memory multipliar but when do i start doing it do i need to make sure i do not go over a certain number
