overclockin issues

Dazza69r · 5 Oct 2007 at 11:13

my spec is in my sig for details but i had to go back to 1303bois as for some reason it became unstable

iam tryin to clock my cpu to 3ghz not a massive overclock but it sure is a achieveable target but iam coming into some issues

cpu vtt power issues are showing on asus pc probe @ 1.38v (should i be worried?)
also i cannot run my ram at 1066mhz at 5-5-5-15 2T when tryin to overclock.
the ram can run fine when cpu isnt overclocked is there something iam missing

also how do i set up prime95 to stress all the cores? it only seems to clock small bits of the cores

my vcore is 1.26v showin in pc probe
my ram is 2.14v showin in pc probe
nb core is 1.44v showin in pc probe
sb core is 1.52v showin in pc probe

Use the latest version of Prime from here to stress all 4 cores.

And I would set your memory to atleast 2.2v, maybe 2.25v since you have 4 sticks. Also give the NB Core Voltage a nudge to boost power for the 4 sticks.

ok so far i have my Q6600 @ 3ghz with my ram at 1000mhz

is 49c max on all cores on full load from prime95 good on a zalman 9700 led cooler?

also now all my readings on pc probe have all went funny most of them show 4.08v and are red :confused:

1.2vht
sb core
cpu vtt
ddr2 term
nb core
memory

are all red and showin the same readings or is there something else wrong?

PC Probe isn't the best tbh. Try PCWizard or Everest.

And use CoreTemp to read the temps.

aye i use coretemp 0.95.4 to get my cpu temp readings still priming and no errors so far....

i will give everest and shot

Then your temps are pretty good for air.

nope i cant get 1066 mhz it just jamms at bois for somereason

Cob · 6 Oct 2007 at 10:59

Have you given the NB voltage a boost?

Dazza69r · 6 Oct 2007 at 11:27

i have its up to 1.45v the silly thing is when i set it in bois and restart it just freezes at the point where it shows you your cpu in post information

Dazza69r · 7 Oct 2007 at 12:54

got it sorted now... nb is at 1.5v (is that too high?) ram is 2.1v and cpu at 1.25v at 3ghz and ram running at 1066mhz 5-5-5-15

idle temps are... mb 41c and cpu at 39c to 37c and on load mb is 48c and cpu at 51c 49c

Cob · 7 Oct 2007 at 12:56

Nah 1.5v isn't too high. The nb often needs a good kick up the arse to run 4 sticks.

well iam happy

not a massive overclock tbh but iam happy with all the temps and performance iam gettin from it

thanks for your help cob been a life saver
