Hey guys, i'm having some problems overclocking my cpu to get it to 2.8ghz using my asus p5b-deluxe mobo. I manage to get it to 2.8ghz, but when i check the temps using coretemp, it shows that the temp is running at 45C idle and 50C on full load, is that normal for 2.8ghz?
I have seen many ppl who managed to overclock their E6600 up to 3.4ghz, and it hardly reaches the 40C mark, i just don't understand why mine does.

I'm not very familiar with intels cpu's as i've always been an amd person, so i'm totally unfamiliar overclocking intels cpu's, it just seems very complicating.
I tried googling to see if i could find websites where ppl were having problems overclocking their E6600 with an p5b motherboard, but i can't seem to figure out why the temps are so high when i get it to 2.8ghz

atm i'm running my E6600 @ stock with temps running at 37C in idle and 42C on full load which seems pretty normal.


So i was wondering if anyone can guide me on overclocking my cpu to 2.8ghz, i have also included couple of pics to show my current settings.
Would appreciate any help.



 
Just a point on the temps, not sure what cooler you have, forgive me if you mentioned it. I have the same setup as you, with a tuniq tower and am getting exactly the same temps as you which i am not at all concerned about
 
I would change your CPU vcore to about 1.4v then test for stability and keep reducing it until it becomes unstable then settle on the next 2 steps up. If you leave it on auto the board tends to set it far too high which could explain your high temps. What cooler are you using?, I use the AC Freezer 7 pro and get <40 idle and <60 load at 3.2ghz(same board and cpu).
 
As above really, the vcore basically equates to your temps, so knock it up to 1.4v when your starting to overclock, then when you reach a speed your happy at e.g 2800 you want to lower the vcore slowy to get it to its lowest level at which its stable

how long would you say then you need to test for stability?
using i.e. prime 95 [9, 12, 24 hours?)
 
ok so what else do i need to change apart for vcore when i up the speed to 2.8ghz?.

I saw in another forum a guy posted a pic of his bios setup, he had most of the options under cpu configuration disabled, like execute disable bit, c1e support, intel speedstep technology etc. Should i disable them aswell?

ok,last night i attempted to overclock my cpu and get it up to 3ghz.
I changed the vcore voltage to 1.4v and multiplier to 9x and cpu frequency to 333, but it never seems to post when i my computer restarts.

I know i'm doing something wrong cause the e6600 can easily overclcok to 3ghz, but for some it wouldn't post when i hit the frequency to 333.

Does anyone know what i'm doing wrong cause i am really confused.
The pictures which i uploaded at the begining of this thread are pretty much the same except that i changed the cpu frequency from 266 to 333, and the cpu vcore voltage from auto to 1.4v, but i'm sure there are other things that i need to configure aswell, but i can't seem to figure out which ones :confused:
 
i have the same problem with my setup (similar to yours but crucial 10th anni ram) i have to set the memory timings to auto or it doesnt boot, but i cant get mine past 333 fsb and i've tried everything i can think of. i really hate this board
