New e6400 overclock

niteflite01 · 10 Feb 2007 at 21:33

Heya there,

I'm new at this really....and would value any comments tips or opinions on the following :

Running a new e6400, p5b deluxe, tuniq tower, 2 GB Geil RAM in a P180 case....

I'm concerned by the CPU temperature as read by Speedfan - 55 to 60 degrees. I realise this is taken from the diode behind the CPU socket - should I be worried about it being this high, when all of the other temps seem ok to me?

My RAM is running 1:1 at 12-4-4-4. Sadly I had to give it 1.4v in the BIOS - as ORTHOS and my whole system totally froze at 1.375v. CPU idles at 27 - 30 degrees - not bad for air!

Any help, tips or comments very greatly appreciated.

Thank you

He he what were you going to say?

Gotcha

I'm happy sticking at 3.2 really. I don't want to push it too far, too soon as I only built the system this morning

What's RM Bench?

Nice one

I'm going to give that a go now.

Yup, no problems there either. And running a little bit cooler too now that the AS5 has had it's bedding in cycles

Yeah, the P5b droops badly voltage wise. I think it's something like 1.38v in BIOS

Ummm lemme reboot and I'll tell you

Okey dokey :

RAM (12:4:4:4) : 2.1v
Vcore : 1.375v
FSB : 1.4v
North bridge : 1.45v
South Bridge : 1.5v

Nice

I don't really want or need to push mine past 3.2GHz as the difference will be negligible. And I don't want to suck myself into the whole benchmarking trap again
