E6600 overclocking.

[Jimbo]

Just wondering what sort of overclocks some people are getting. Today I had a bit off a mess about with my Asus P5W DH and E6600.

I normally run it on a 333fsb stock volts and ram @ 833mhz. But heres what I tryed today so far...


FSB: 333

MULTI: 9x

RAM: 833

VCORE: 1.3v

STABLE Y/N: Y

===========================

FSB: 340

MULTI: 9

RAM: 850

VCORE: 1.3v

STABLE Y/N: Y

==============================

FSB: 340

MULTI: 8

RAM: 850

VCORE: 1.3v

STABLE Y/N: Y

==============================

FSB: 340

MULTI: 8

RAM: 850

VCORE: 1.23v

STABLE Y/N: Y

================================

Interestingly on this bios 1407 I can run at a lower multi and so reduce vcore and have nice and low temps. I was hoping for 8x 380fsb but im not sure my rams up to it, as I couldnt boot, maybe i might have to raise vcore to.

Anyway something for you noob conroe overclockers to ponder.

the fsb does top out early on that mobo, mine started getting flaky at 380. they seem a bit hit and miss.

its all on the vmch.

Yeah thats what i was thinking too, I will push it some more see what I get. The only problem testing these overclocks is the horrible power downs on reboot etc, I wish asus would fix this, but apparently anything over 300 fsb and it happens.

 

[welshtom]

yea, its even worse with a phase unit, as when they stop receiving power from the psu they shut down and you have to wait a few mins to start it up.

have to set up a seperate power supply just to provide it with a signal.

The power issue should be fixed soon, they've already done the P5B Deluxe

It's a nightmare Tom and it makes me wonder why they havent fixed it on the P5W as they have on the P5B.

Edit:

Ooops above beat me to it lol.
