Noobie clocker - do i need to increase volts?

bloodline76 · 22 Jul 2007 at 18:00

I have an E6420 with a freezer pro stuck on it.

I have increased the fsb to 325x8 at the moment.

If i increase this further do I need to increase the volts?

Thanks

Only increase the volts if it fails to boot, I think.

Ok thanks

No, you need to stability test. If it fails the test (say Prime for example) you either increase volts until it becomes stable or you clock it back down till it becomes stable. Increasing volts only when it fails to boot could result in you losing your Windows install.

Cant get it above 325x8 at standard volts.

When I push for more it doesnt boot and reverts back to stock values.

Advice?

Ok. I was unsure about it aswell, my mistake. Well take a look at the temp of your CPU under load if it's above 65 then I guess you can't clock it any higher, perhaps improve your cooling?

temp is fine just doesnt want to boot at 350, 375 x 8.

Do i Change the voltage?

I am happy at the moment and see who it likes 325x8 but id be interested in getting higher.
