Help me improve my OC

R.C.Anderson · 16 Sep 2010 at 22:34

These pictures are the settings I have at the moment, anyone have any pointers to increase my OC.

I have a E2180 (2GHz stock) (with freezer 7 pro)
2*2GB corsair XMS2 800MHz
Gigabyte P35-DS3L motherboard

It's stable as it is (Orthos for about 48hours), but I don't seem to be able to get it any higher. Any help is greatly appreciated.

No one got any ideas? I'm away from that PC until Sunday evening now though, but any suggestions before then I'll try out whenever I get back.

I ran at the above settings on an Abit Darkraider (still using the mobo & Memory) @ 3GB with OCZ (2x2GB) PC2-6400C5 Vista Gold Series DDR2running at 900.

Never had any prob's, only reason I have changed is that I located a Q6600, however now running memory at 800 until I sort out q6600 overclock.

Ok, well I've got the e-mail, so I'll try those clocks (plus possible tinkering) when I get back to that PC tomorrow evening, and I'll let you know how it goes

Ok, slight update, whilst taking some inspiration (and I think just being bothered to try again) I've managed to get it higher, I have managed a stable 2.8GHz, and am currently testing 2.9. CPU voltage is up quite high (about 1.46V if I remember right) although the max CPU temp that I have had (since taking the side off my case, as I've only got a cheap case, with rubish airflow) is about 53C (was over 60C before I removed the side of the case) and that temperature has stayed fairly constant over the last 0.05V increase (ish) so I don't think my CPU fan has been working at it's max speed, so I'm happy enough with that temperature. I'm going to keep going, and I'll try to remember to update a bit sooner next time...
