ok old cpu i know got my eye on a Q6600 i think,

for the moment i have a E2140 on a P5nt im only able to get 1066.8 at 1.3v

and what isnt helping i think is the 1gb of ram i have although its in dual channel i cant run linked or it wont load, ive tried 1100mhz and it wont load, surely i havent hit a fsb wall at 1100 on 1gb or is that the case, im sure its the ram but im not sure, got 4gb on the way whats your sugestions for now
 
ok getting 1080 now but no 1100??? surely that cant be its wall?
any jumper free settings you could sugest
 
Ok give that a go, what's the other voltage I need to change, I read it some were but can't remember!!

nope didnt work max i can get is 1100.1 (2.2ghz) at 1.45 but cpu-z is stating 1.248v

any other ideas for votages and clock speeds

spec is below

ram is 1gb got 4 on the way but didnt think the ram would make much diffrence to the fsb.
the voltage is 1.45v in bios now and cpuz is stating 1.36v
 
ok now got 1110 on 1.45v but bios says 1.6v

im concered why the volatge diffrence, is the votalge drop i read about,

i got so much learning to do lol
 
What brand/speed RAM? You might be setting its frequency too high.

1.45V is too high for a safe 24/7 voltage I think. The Vdroop you're seeing is usually a result of the motherboard not being so great. Did you check if speedstep or C1E was enabled? I.e. does the CPU voltage go up when you're stressing the system with p95 or occt for example? If you're putting 1.6V through it on load, you stand a much increased chance of killing your CPU.
 
its only 667mhz but got it running 700mhz right now, brand is eco, not to sure.
c1e is disabled, voltage stays the same ah does the mhz

I've hit a wall at 1100 so will wait for the new ram and gpu, may even go for a q6xxx or q9xxx as i read the q9 is nearly as good as the i3 or something, not sure may have read wrong!! no doubt i have!
 
can some one tell me any thing about this quick load test..

by which i mean is there any thing wrong, think the ram is a little to high or maybe more voltage as its on auto right now


 
The ram will be your wall. I had 667mhz ram and I couldnt set the memory divider any lower so I could only get to 2.8 on my q9450. Now I got 1600 ddr3 and a new mobo and I've got to 3.7 :cool:
 
yer i thought as much, the ram does atturly run at 900 just fine! ran memtest no errors but graphics/games hang and freeze so thought it aint worth it
