OCing Guide for 680i

[KILLSWITCH_UK]

I recently had fun overclocking my E6600, being a noob to the whole overclocking business it took me a while to find a decent guide to getting good results from the E6600 on the 680i board.

1)
a. CPU Thermal control - disabled
b. C1E Enhanced holt state - disabled
c. Intel Speedstep - disabled
d. Reboot

2)
a. CPU Spread Spectrum - disabled
b. HT Spread Spectrum - disabled
c. PCIe Spread Spectrum SPP - disabled
d. PCIe Spread Spectrum MCP - disabled
e. Sata Spread Spectrum - disabled
f. Reboot

3)
a. CPU Core: 1.4V (personal choice)
b. CPU FSB: 1.3V-1.4V
c. nForce SPP: 1.50V
d. Reboot

4)
a. SLI-Ready Memory - disabled
b. FSB - Memory Clock Mode - Unlinked
c. MEM (DDR) MHz - Change to Reflect Current Memory Speed
d. Reboot

5)
a. Increase FSB in 20 MHz Increments
1. Reboot to Windows after Each Increase
2. Fall Back to Last Increment when Unable to Boot into Windows
b. When 'Stable' FSB is Achieved:
1. Download Orthos and Run CPU Stress Test
i. Ideally stay below 70C

6)
a. Reboot
b. Start Lowering Voltages and Running Orthos after each to Lower Temperature until a Stable OC is Achieved.

Please note that Voltages and increments are just my personal preference, on the volts provided ive been able to get 3.5GHZ on the stock fan and the system is quite stable.

Enjoy and please drop a comment/suggestion as im always open to getting that extra MHZ

Thanks!
