My Overclock

As I say mine is on +0.1, but try it? Don't blame me if it all goes wrong! I make no guarantees (spelling?) :)

CPU-Z and everest say my vcore is at 1.28v, cpu is @ 3.15ghz.

MCH and FSB volts are +0.1, all 100% stable, 52c load

stock voltage!? not bad...

mines recently started failing orthos after 5 minutes... weird as it was fine for hours a few weeks ago :confused:

I also noticed my ddr12v status on my mobo sometimes says fail :confused:

Another thing is sometimes the pc refuses to boot and reverts back to stock fsb until i go back into the bios and enabled manual fsb :confused:

a lot of weirdness for me... testing at stock now and will start again methinks :(

Yeah, stock... but i did up it in the BIOS

Exact same happens for me, in the PC Health part in the bios, the vdimm bit is in block red caps saying FAIL. I just booted up the rig and its all smooth... thats at the specced volts for my ram though, but its +0.4 in the bios, which is why its likely that its kicking off.

Also, i get the problem you described where the bios automatically disables the overclock. I believe this is a protection thing...no idea why it does it randomly (when youve had the chip running at 3ghz(eg) for a week stable :confused:

I see... im not the only one then :)

Was at stock volts doing 2.8 stable last night, had to put them up to 1.45 volts to get 3ghz stable for over 5 hours now... bit of a lemon? :(

also reaching 67c according to TAT :eek:

70 degrees! woah. Ive just put my e6320 to 2240mhz and never goes over 45 degrees while orthos is running. I would say that is too hot.

Im using a scythe infinity by the way, with one stock fan.

Is that 45c via TAT? My bios, coretemp and speedfan all report about 10c lower than TAT... hopefully TAT is wrong but im not taking any chances.

Yeh thats with ta. Easytune shows the same. I may well try coretemp and speedfan then, but i think 35 degrees under orthos would be very optimistic!
 
My overclock in sig is at stock volts, even with vdroop it is extremely stable, with the hotter weather it is running a bit warmer, idle is now at about 43 degrees
 
Unfortunately it doesnt work with all chipsets, a lot of ppl that it doesnt work for use coretemp, is pretty good.

Everest is useful too and also measures voltages etc
 
Everest is really good, i use it to monitor temps in the system tray.

On full load now, my temp for each core is 47 & 46 (Using TAT) not bad :D

I trust TAT over any other temp measuring software simply coz its made by Intel for Intel chips

even though it doesnt even know what cpu you have?
 
Heh fair point but nevermind :P Having said that though, I downloaded and installed the latest version of speedfan and its temps are only a couple of degrees behind TAT and Coretemp for the individual cores, I'm quite impressed

Naud
 
hm yeh coretemp does show my temps sometimes to be the same as tat and sometimes a few degrees lower. Both seem like good programs.
 
Just a quick question since this is my thread :P If anyone has got the same RAM as me can they post their timings table from CPU Z? Just to see, coz according the the GeIL website the timings should be 5 5 5 15, but the timings table says 5 5 5 18 for 400MHz

Mine say the same and i believe mine are the ultra low latency ones so the timings should be 4-4-4-12 however its 5-5-5-18 in the bios. Im overclocking the cpu at the mo so im leaving the ram out of it, but after im done with that i guess im just gonna have to change them manually to what they should be.
 
On my timings table it shows the same as yours - 5-5-5-18 however it does run fine at 5-5-5-15 @ 400MHz.

Currently got it at 5-5-5-18 as running 450MHz FSB and it was a bit temperamental at the tighter timings.

Just in case anyone is interested :)

Am currently at 2Ghz, on the specs below, processor is a bit toasty at just under 70 under load, contemplating a new processor fan at the moment, but will see after I get the HDD conversion kit meaning another 120mm fan as an intake. Also currently at 1.45 volts I believe, will see how much further we can go tomorrow, 2.8 being the goal :) Anyone got any comments/ suggestions let me know

i got my e6300 to 3.2gig stable with 1.35vcore
