I would bump the cpu and ram a notch or two on the voltage.serenity888 said:CPU Volt: 1.325V

Duke said:Dodgy sensor or something? Have you tried reflashing the bios anyway?
That temp is quite high. I would recommend better cooling (case, fan setup, heatsink etc) before doing much more. My temps are low (35c last time I checked) due to using watercoolingserenity888 said:Duke: running it at 1.325v i'm getting temps under load of around 55C, i'm worried is i crank it up more i'm gonna get higher temps. what temps and what voltages have you people here been getting?
also, the gskill ram is only rated to 2.0v, will 2.1v do any harm?

Excuse my ignorance, its my 1st time overclocking

No need for that sort of reply above, as there are actually many guides on the web. I will explain the basics though..Oxy said:As this is my 1st overclock could someone explain to me y loosening the RAM timings improves stability?Oxy
FatRakoon said:Just a quick note ( Again ) for those who dont know...
SuperPI:
Used mainly for testing RAW CPU speed.
The Speed of a HardDrive can affect the results however, and this is something not many people acknowledge, but try it.
It is NOT used to test for stability, however, it can trip unstable systems, so as a quick dual stability/speed test, its ok.
Now, take your CPU to 2.8 ( 400FSB on the 6300 ) and run a 1MB SuperPI
Then take your FSB a little higher, to 430 ( 3.0Ghz on the 6300 ) and re-run SuperPI on the 1MB Test.
Tell me... What did you find?
Ah you see... There is a dip when the Strap bumps to 1333 and therefore you wont actually be doing yourself any favours by running at 3.0 Ghz... You might as well stick at 2.8 or take it much higher to get a real speed boost.
Just thought Id tell you this because so many people are trying to acheive this 3.0Ghz when in fact sticking at 2.8 is giving them a faster PC.

serenity888 said:so how big a dip is this?
Yes, I still have the NQ RAM.serenity888 said:no i have the NQ ram which apparently isnt very good for O/C since it doesnt have mocron d9 chips. i';ve read in another thread that you also have the NQ ram. do you still have them and what fsb are you running? you also said you were able to rma to gskill for better ram, did you have to pay the price for it?
