Overclock on E6550

Brian Stuart · 12 Oct 2007 at 17:58

My first OC on this rig is a E6550@475x7 with temps at 55/55 when running Orthos.
My mobo is a Gigabyte P35 DS3R, 4Gb Crucial Ballistix running at 5-5-5-15.
Cooling is a Arctic Cooler freezer Pro in an Antec 182 case

Nice clock, just lower than my E6600 by a few Mhz. What's the voltage on the Vcore?

Brian Stuart · 12 Oct 2007 at 18:04

1.35 as reported by coretemp. I think that there is still more to come but I don't want to be greedy

No, be greedy

. I would be lol.

Hey Brian, what speeds your memory running at, my ddr2 is @ 710mhz due to the memory hole on my board (gigabyte n650sli ds4) and I cant seem to get my E6550 past [email protected] ... any higher and it wont post

ANy help?

RAM is running at 960 (1:1). You might be as well giving it a bit more Vcore and increasing the northbridge voltage a notch

Ive had cpu vcore all the way up to 1.45 no joy. Northbridge voltage is currently auto, what should I set it to?

Is your memory 800mhz default? Is that safe at 960? :S

Also how have you got coretemp running in 64? It doesnt load on my ultimate 64?

Cheers
