Well ive spent the last few days tweaking and testing with my DS3 and E6600..
First off, the voltages listed are th final voltages i find my mobo needs to get stable highest clocks....
The previous owner had this chip at 3500, so naturally i wanted to get the same or higher.... well its been fun i can tell you...
To start with i set the cpu voltage to 1.45v and ram to +4 (2.2v), FSB +1 & MCH +1, RAM div set to 2.0 @ 5, 5, 5, 15.
System booted fine and passed orthos with large FFT's and with Gromacs Core.
Rebooted and set the bios to 9/388 = 3500, ram div to 2.0, ran orthos gromacs and passed 8 hours 30 mins before i stopped it and ran large fft's which failed after 3 mins.
Rebooted and set the bios to 8/388 = 3100, ram div to 2.0, ran orthos Large FFT's but this time it failed on Large FFT's.
Rebooted and set the bios to 9/378 = 3400, ram div to 2.0, ran orthos blend and passed 2.5 hours.
I decided to try more fsb's and try to find a sweet spot....
8/420 3360, ram 6, 6, 6, 18, passed 10mins orthos large FFT, then i stopped orthos...
8/423 3384, ram 6, 6, 6, 18, passed 20mins orthos large FFT, then i stopped orthos..
8/430 failed to post.
8/440 failed to post.
8/450 failed to post.
As i stated at the start, i have tried lover voltages and lower timmings but can get past post or stable in windows, but with the following im getting some results...
9/400 = 3600 loaded windows and crashed, set voltage to 1.5v and upped the mch to +2, ram at 5, 5, 5, 15 and windows loaded but rebooted running gromacs core.
Set voltage to 1.55v and so far its still running gromacs core.... but temp is reading 62 on both cores in Core Temp.... is this ok.... the bios is set to shutdown at 70, but there is now a beep comming occasionally from the mobo speaker. PC still running though
The ram is a none issue now as i have bought some ocz pc8500, just waiting for it to arrive next week.
