E6750 overclock

[Thomas. PLease.]

So, i'm pretty new to the idea of overclocking. About a month ago i built my must computer using the following components.

Intel duo E6750, with stock fan
Asus p5n-e sli
2gb ddr2 ram
ati x1950 pro
550w psu

etc, think those are the most important bits anyway.

So, what it is i want to know (and i do realise that all cpu's are different etc) is how much of an overclock could be achieved on the stock cpu fan? etc. without anymore hardware changes.


Thanks Tom.

Not saying you cant, but I never use stock coolers on my own builds (ok for some customers but nowdays use a £16 Artic Freezer for them as quieter at 50% and 100% fan speed and added cooling.

I run a E6850 with a Noctua NH-U12F and its great so far at 3.8GHZ but I wont want to run 4GHZ with it as its not extreme enough cooling, even with a faster fan on a controler cooling it, did test out at 3.9GHZ but it reboots at approx 73C and I found same from others in forums, so I need cool it better.

So my advise is read stickys, take it easy, do not OC mad high until better cooling.

had my 6750 running with a stock fan for 2 weeks, @ 3.4 would max out 63-65c full load with orthos over 4 hrs +. not bad , but big diff came when added a sycthe infinty. max's out 51-53c with 10 hr orthos

One thing to keep an eye on with the 6750 is some people hit an fsb wall at 415MHZ (ish). I worked around mine by jumping to 435MHz (Im now stable at 438MHz, which is a respectable 3.5GHz).

Also every MB Ive heard about so far is under-reading CPU temp by 15C, so don't forget to add that when you read off the figures
