Hi All,

I bought the below from overclockers at the beginning of the year with the idea of overclocking it, but i never got round to it, now with Crysis coming out and a few other interesting games i would like to do it now so my system runs better, i specifically remember there being an e6300 overclocking thread explaining how you do it step by step, but i cant seem to find it, could someone please let me know where it is?

I remember there being a thread that said this CPU and MB worked well for overclocking.

GeIL 2GB (2x1GB) PC6400C4 800MHz Ultra Low Latency DDR2 Dual Channel Kit (GX22GB6400UDC) 1
Arctic Cooling Freezer 7 Pro CPU Cooler (Socket 775)
Gigabyte GA_965P_DS3 (Socket 775) PCI-Express DDR2 Motherboard
Intel Core 2 DUO E6300 "LGA775 Allendale" 1.86GHz (1066FSB) -



Cheers.

Ricky.
 
I had that exact setup this time last year, and while the CPU and mainboard overclocked like a bat out of Hell, the RAM was what held me back in the end.

That setup looks great to me, but I'd seriously consider some better RAM if you can afford it (G.Skill HZ has blown me away for up to and beyond 1000MHz goodness.)
 
At the time i was told this was the RAM to buy if i wanted to overclock, thats why i chose it :(

Do you know where i will find the guide on how to overclock it.
 
Cheers, it really does seem aload of jibberish to me, its frustrating i get lost up to a certain point while reading it, dont suppose anyone would be willing to talk me through how to do it on the old telephone :D (ill ring you :o)
 
Its just the first post that you need to read. It tells you what to do

Clocking
1. Make sure that you have the latest chipset drivers and flash the board to the most recent bios version
2. On the main bios screen press Ctrl+F1 to open the advanced options within the menus
3. In the Advanced Bios Features Menu, Disable all of the following: CPU Enhanced Halt (C1E), CPU Thermal Monitor 2(TM2), CPU EIST Function
4. In the PC Health Status menu, set the FAN Speed Control Method to "Legacy" & FAN Speed Control Mode to "PWM" to maintain highest speed
5. Go into the MB Intelligent Tweaker (MIT) menu at the bottom of the page, set the System voltage control to "Manual"
6. These boards have a default VDIMM of 1.8v, set the VDIMM to co-ordinate with your ram. The Geil I have is specced as 2.1v so I have mine set to +0.3v
7. Set the MCH Voltage to +0.1v
8. Set the FSB Voltage to +0.1v
9. Set the VCORE to 1.45v - Please be aware that this will increase temps!
10. Set the CPU Host Clock Control to "Enable"
11. Set the System Memory Multiplier to "2x"
12. You're set to go, just increase the System bus Frequency to Overclock
13. I would reccommend that you use Intels TAT to monitor temps

Ok i will give it a go, its things like this that i dont understand

"I got the GeIL PC6400 2GB Kit, which is 4-4-4-12 but it does 5-6-6-18 according too CPU-Z.
Now I know I can manually adjust this, but there is more then the first four options. What do set there, apart from Auto?"
