Help With Overclocking my C2D rig

KnightStalker · 22 Sep 2006 at 16:50

Hey fellas, i need some help overclocking my C2D rig, as ive moved from a single core AMD to a Dual Core Intel E6300, things are a little different and to be honest im lost and confused...

MB is the Gigabyte DS3
Cpu is the e6300
Ram is the 2gb Ultra Low Latency kit 44412

right..well ive been in the bios and pressed ctrl-f1 and my oh my im confused, some things have changed others have not, but im generally confused about overclocking with such expensive hardware, but i want to do it.

So basically everything is stock in bios, all voltages are stock too (probably the ram needs upping or something)

So if anyone can offer some settings and help and general know how on what to do, also if anyone has a similar rig and has overclocked the E6300 and is stable, would you mind sharing some settings and tips.

Thanks in advance guys, its much appreciated.

ok thanks for that, doesnt make it any easier, its probably just a state of mind thing, coming from a low end AMD rig, to this High End C2D rig, i think my mind is playing tricks on me, and i dont want to mess up with any settings.

ok ok, well ill give it a shot, im surprised no one has really helped in the way of settings or something like that, oh well ill try and see what i can do, im just scared of something going wrong, which im sure people can understand.

well for one, if it works for them, it will probably work for us, with a few tweaks if needed, and secondly, we dont have to worry about breaking the computer in the process of trying to overclock if we dont fully understand the bios settings. plus the money i spent on this rig is quite a lot and i dont want it breaking, plus i was told it would overclock well, so thats the reason im asking for some help.....if id have known it would have been this hard to get some help, i would have took a bigger loan and got a faster chip.

ok in a little while ill put those screenshots on my phone and go into my bios and see what i can do then, it makes it easier knowing what is "safe" to mess with........the only thing ive done in bios at the moment, is changed my ram timings to 4,4,4,12 and volts to 2.1v on the ram, only thing ive messed with so far.
