Hi,

I have my watercooled G0 to 2.9ghz on water with a max load of 33oC.

however i get instability when it boot at 3ghz, any suggestions?

im on an in9 32x max

Have you altered the CPU voltage or RAM voltage in the BIOS?

Voltage · 22 Oct 2007 at 13:26

yep, at 1.375 vcore and 2.1vdimm using corsair xms2

northbridge voltage? northbridge strap? Mem speed? Mem timings?

need to know all the settings before we can say something is wrong.

Seems good and temps are fine keep on going.

On some boards dont you need to lock the pci and pci E speeds as well?

Also it probably needs a north bridge voltage boost. Id be really ****** off if i spent all that money on water cooling and got a cpu taht wouldn't overclock to make it worth while lol.

It's most likely your board.

Most of the 680i boards are useless for overclocking Quads.

Are you running the latest BIOS?

Sorry joker. i wasn't aware taht was really considered swearing.

Are you running the RAM at stock timings (ie 5-5-5-15) if so then if it is running faster you could try to slacken the timings or have it unlinked from the CPU.

running latest bios, what is it safe to up the non vcore or vdimm voltages to?

Im in the same sort of possition. Im at 2.9Ghz and runs perfectly fine and cool but whenever I take my 6300 to the 3.0Ghz level it just dosent boot. Would I need to increase or decrease some voltages somewhere? Also out of curiosity, how much differance in games would getting the CPU to 3.0 - 3.2 Ghz make?

System Specs

Gigabyte P35 DS3P rev 1.1 on F6
6300 @ 2.9Ghz with Tuniq Tower
4GB of OCZ 6400
Vista 64bit

Anything else needed?

Not much difference in games unless you had an 8800 SLI setup, or run at really low res, at 1280x1024 or above even an E6300 at stock is enough to power an 8800GTS fully in most games.

scooby555t · 28 Oct 2007 at 20:14

ive got my e6300 at 3.30

and it can be done

Voltage · 29 Oct 2007 at 11:21

what voltages are you using?

scooby555t · 29 Oct 2007 at 15:43

heres a screenshot of my cpuz and temps my board is undervolting

dunno if thats good or bad

Voltage · 30 Oct 2007 at 14:15

what voltages and what mobo?

Minstadave · 30 Oct 2007 at 14:17

Those temps probably aren't right, they're far too low to be realistic.

scooby555t · 30 Oct 2007 at 15:36

they are right haha
as for the mobo its a gigabyte ds3 p 1.280 volts
and heres a everst screenshot as i say my mobo is under volting

Minstadave · 30 Oct 2007 at 15:50

There is no way an overclocked quad core is running at 33 degrees load, your board will be under-reading the temps.
