got an E6400 and a gigabyte p35 ds4 and 4gb ddr800,

what voltages do i need to increase to get this chip stable at 3.6ghz?

so far i have these values,

mch +0.15v
FSB +0.15v
vcore 1.525

how high can i go with these voltages? the chips under water not air.

thanks guys

What RAM is it?

spookywillow · 12 Apr 2008 at 09:56

its transcend jetram, value ram basically.

well i was playing last night and found that its not going to do much more than 3.2 stable,

currently running 8x400 = 3.2ghz @ 1.4v with the ram at 800mhz, ram can do at least 900mhz but the chip needs stupid voltages to get any higher, 3.6ghz needs 1.55v and even then its not stable.

any ideas? maybe its something else thats stopping me from going higher and not vcore?

Could be the memory!?

My friend has the E6400 running at 3.5GHz on the DS3R. Can i just ask waht is the VID, and the stepping of the CPU?

spookywillow · 12 Apr 2008 at 12:49

not sure of the stepping, was lapped when i got it.

vid is 1.325.

had the memory running at 900mhz alreadt to rule that out, also had the fsb to 450 which was ok. its just the cpu dont want to go there lol
