E6400 @ 3.6 + P5N-E SLI + Geil 6400

Hi all

Thought Id share my latest overclock now I got a Tuniq

Setup is in sig

That's a fantastic overclock. Well done.

Did it take you a lot of tinkering to get that stable? I hear that the P5N-E has some gaps in the FSB that refure to boot or are unstable...

yeah nice one wanna share some more settings with us

neil27 · 7 Apr 2007 at 15:36

Nah didnt take to long....Was at 3.2 on stock cooling and stock vcore for a while so when I got the Tuniq i put straight to 3.6 with 1.457 vcore but that failed after 5 hours, then I upped it to 1.481 vcore and did 12 hrs

so to cap

E6400 @ 3.6ghz (1801 fsb) Tuniq on lowest rpm setting
vcore @ 1.481
NB @ 1.56v (+fan)
offset + 100mv
Unlinked mem @ 800

Will push the memory later but i want to see if i can get 3.8ghz out of it first...

anything else thats needed just ask

Thats a lot of volts goin thro the cpu though. What are you running 24/7 ?

Pfft.. No its not!

I run mine at 3.6GHz with 1.485 volts through it 24/7!

He's actually running 1.58V because of the extra +100mV, but that's not a problem in itself as long as he has the cooling to handle it.

It's a very good overclock.

Ive got mine 6400 to 3.66 with a similar setup

i cannot get my FSB past 1840

when i step to 1850 for 3.7ghz it resets to std

Ive tried changing memory and played with timings and voltages jsut cannot get it past 1840

Dont be daft lol

Tried 3.8 but its not having none of it.....tried upping the vcore and northbridge and increased the Tuniq to full speed and most I could get was 3 mins then it would fail. May try 3.7 at some point but im very happy with 3.6

Ahha, didn't spot that bit!

I couldn't get 3.8 with mine.. Most it will do is 3.75Ghz with 1.55Vs..

Good overclock, congrats

jongeeone · 9 Apr 2007 at 11:05

Yea thats a nice overclock - i so need better ram as this 6300 i got seems to be a beast

Indeed, I only stopped tinkering because I didn't want to push my RAM too far

Claire Drew · 10 Apr 2007 at 15:48

Quality overclock wish I went down the Intel road now ..... Cant get 100mhz out of my AMD.

kingo15 · 10 Apr 2007 at 15:57

nice clocking i think ill be selling my amd stuff now and investing in another c2d

jongeeone · 10 Apr 2007 at 16:22

I would advise any one to go c2d now

even for office machines with cheap mobo and ram

Darg · 10 Apr 2007 at 16:30

Have you performed the pencil mod to reduce the vdroop? If not then try it and let us know if it gives you more stable overclocks =)

CraigN · 10 Apr 2007 at 16:37

That Overclock won me a QX6700 yesterday at multiplays i30 lan.

i came second in the 3dmark 06 competition Intel were running.

the winner won a dell xps and i got a quad core extreme cpu.

Well chuffed

Cupra · 10 Apr 2007 at 17:39

well done

Darg · 10 Apr 2007 at 17:52

Nice! Would love to have one of those to play around with myself. I want to see how high you can get it on this board. Now!
