Need some help with overclocking DS3

Smartdevil · 3 Mar 2007 at 11:22

Hi Guys...
Just got my DS3 (rev 3.3) with E6400 & ocz 2 gb ram. I wanted to know if someone can give me a starter guide to get some overclocking done on this

Thanks

The first post in the DS3 Owners thread has a pretty much foolproof set of directions for overclocking a DS3.

Guys.. I followed the guide to overclock. I overclocked it to 2.8 Ghz at the moment but i have noticed a strange problem. When the machine is overclocked, I notice a lag in Vista. Has anyone noticed this problem?

How are your temps? maybe its throttling.

If you dont already have it, get Intel TAT, its best for measuring temps.

smart devil, you should use xp to overclock with!!

I'll download Intel TAT. But what i have noticed is that in happens only when i increase the CPU voltage to 1.45 or above. ALso my temps are 29C in idle & 50 in full loads under sp2004 test
By the way i am running it at 424*8 (3391Mhz) & its stable. But i want to push it further

Ok. I am a bit confused. Easytune & speedFan both shows my CPU temperature at 30C idle. while Intel TAT shows it as 43C. Which one is correct?

I'd listen to TAT, mine shows lower in Everest and ETC.

Yep, trust TAT. Since its made by intel . .
