First Overlock : E6750

Leodido · 29 Dec 2008 at 19:09

First time I tried OCing, thanks to the fine people of ocuk for the help

Here is the results.

What do you guys think? Anything else to do ?

Looks great

Probably still has some more performance left though

Leodido · 29 Dec 2008 at 19:29

Yeah I guess so but I'm not sure I wanna push it to the max, just you know to be sure

I have one which sits @ 3.6 with 1.3v.

So far so good, push it some more! :cool:

can i ask what your settings are onthe bios for this ?

Presume the core temps shown are with 100% load? Your not going to get much more out of that CPU without better cooling, maybe 3.4Ghz if the vcore can stay the same with overclock remaining stable.

Is it prime stable?
If you've got the most out of the CPU you could try OC'ing your RAM

I have an extremely similar setup in terms of CPU/mobo. Running atm at 3.2 aswell, don't see the point in pushing it much further, may aswell get a newer CPU then. There were little gains from the overclock anyway. Mine doesnt go beyond 60 deg C, but idles around 38, so i'm getting some better case fans soon, I feel the ambient temp in the case must be high, since I can't put my antec fans on more than low without the noise being annoying.

@ jamjar - the setting he has can be seen to be 400mhz with a multiplier of 8. This would let you run 800mhz ram with a neat multiplier of 2, so at stock speed. This is what I have too.

nice overclock, the voltage could come down a bit, i started at that and work my way down until it failed prime95 upped it a tad 1.26v now, different chip though.

It's going to depend on what's stable really. Crank it up 10mhz at a time (you may be able to go straight to 3ghz if you have a decent chip and cooler) and boot. When you're happy with the overclock, run prime95 (2 threads) for 8hrs and monitor temps. Below 60 is good.

i have a e6750 that will do 3.7 if i push it, usually run it at 3.5 24/7 that with an asus p5k wifi an tuniq tower.

Try running intel burn for 8 times instead of the prime95 to check for stability to save some time
