Overclocking a q6600 help
- Thread starter Roeg1
- Start date
I got 3.2 pretty easily using a 400 x 8 setup......let me know if that means nothing to you.
I got good ram rated to 1066 in the end so i have that running on a 2.5 multiplier giving (2.5 x 400) 1000 @ 5-5-5-12 settings.
And i tinkered with the voltages to get them as low as utterly possible at the above setings whilst still being stable so the cpu is a 1.2V and the ram is at 1.9.
Not breaking 58 on any core under full load over 6 hours on Prime.
Good luck bud

can anyone give me the exact figures i need for the ram in the bios i no its 5-5-5-15 or 4-4-4-12 but what about the rest of the figures in the ram timmings theres about 10 to set.
And how much should i push the vcore up from the stock setting to get it stable at 3.2?

Leave the rest on Auto til you've finished overclcking the CPU. It would also be a good idea to leave all the timings on Auto til you've finished clocking the CPU.
As for the vcore for 3.2ghz, it differs from chip to chip. You might get it on the stock voltage, or you might need to go to 1.4v.

Update tried the weekend at 3ghz resulting in a a crash to restart after 15 minutes of OCCT testing on *** cpu at 3ghz,, I then dropped it down to 2.6 just to try and the sme thing happened with 15 minutes the computer had restarted..
Anyone help me get this Oc'ed to a decent level and stable ??

im running a similar spec, have a look at these settings
i would set your ram down to 1/1 to rule it out, i used the 8x multiplier (8*400) for 3.2 this
also meant the ram was at 800mhz on 1/1

ok baked that seemed to of worked thxs..
Doesnt the 8x400 push the Rated FSB to 1600mhz thou and isnt the cap 1333 on this mobo
Ive also got it to boot at 333x9 now at 1:1:20 rated fsb 1333mhz
This also gives 800mhz for the ram but at a different ratio.
It was the memory after all.
so which of those overclocks are the best ?
And now for ram timmming anyone help me getting those perfect now instead of all at auto/SPD
O core temp also sees my cpu at 3.6ghz thou cpu-z says 3.2 and so does the bios. Is this normal?

if you have the fsb @ 8x400 your running at 3.2 with your ram at 800mhz (400mhz Dual Channel) which is the rated speed
do you have speedstep disabled?
do you have speedstep disabled?
no all thats turned off what im saying is
i can run at 2 different oc's ive found since u posted how to get it to boot.
one 333mhz fsb 9x multiplier with ram at a 1:1:20 ratio =3ghz and a fsb rated at 1600mhz
two 400mhz 8x multiplier with ram at 1:1 ratio = 3.2ghz and a fsb rated at 1600mhz
Now the mobo i use says max of 133mhz for fsb rating, so its the 8x bad for the mobo and which is the best overlock the 9x or 8x cpu speed aside i can see the difference there. im just worried about the fsb rating at 1600mhz

at 3.2 your fsb is 400 not 1600
try priming on either, i prefer using the 8x for this memory
FSB rated at 1333 not 133

that was type error i meant 1333
cpu z- reports it as being at 1600mhz 100% thats the reading being reported using your figures, its beeen running 2 hours stable now thou

sounds good, id keep an eye on the pwm temp as it can be a little flakey on this board especially if the tuniq is very close.
According to Abit tech support the mosfets on the ip35 pro can take anything upto 125c
dunno if he was joking but he didn't sound like it.
CPU-Z or Core Temp ( one of them , i forget ) will always read your Processor at the stock multiplier ( Even if you lower it ) x FSB .
Its a bug.

i only mentioned it as i had to RMA my first IP35 as the heat sinks were not connecting properly causing a burning smell from the PWM (guess it was just the thermal paste), after that ive been pretty wary

no another etailor, was only the day after i recieved it, checking pwm temp isnt the first thing that sprang to mind when putting a rig together. When i RMA'd it i could see daylight between the HS and PWM
