Hi guys
I recently bought a cheap overclocking setup to try out DDR2 and Intel Core2Duo setups.
CPU - E4400
Mobo - Asus P5K Vanilla
RAM - Corsair XMS2 DDR800 5-5-5-18 (1.8v)
Ive been messing about and came up with 2 OC profiles that are both stable and max i can seem to get out of what i have
My CPU seems to have a FSB wall as i cant get it to boot @ 400 FSB at all no matter the ram/volts/multi it jsut wont post @ 400 and im pretty sure this mobo will do 400+ pretty easy.
Current mobo settings are
JumperFree Configuration Settings
AI Overclocking: Manual
CPU Ratio Control: Manual
Ratio CMOS Setting: 8
FSB Strap to Northbridge: 266
FSB Frequency: 370
PCI-E Frequency: 100
DRAM Frequency: 925MHz
DRAM Command Rate: 2T
DRAM Timing Control: Manual
CAS# Latency: 5
RAS# to CAS# Delay: 5
RAS# Precharge: 5
RAS# Activate to Precharge: 12
TWR: Auto
TRFC: Auto
TWTR: Auto
TRRD: Auto
TRTP: Auto
DRAM Static Read Control: Enabled
Transaction Booster: Auto
Boost/Relax level Level:
Clock Over-Charging Mode: Auto
CPU Spread Spectrum: Disabled
PCIE Spread Spectrum: Disabled
CPU Voltage: 1.43..V
CPU Voltage Reference: Auto
CPU Voltage Damper: Enabled
CPU PLL Voltage: Auto
DRAM Voltage: 2.15v
FSB Termination Voltage: Auto
North Bridge Voltage: Auto
North Bridge Voltage Reference: Auto
Advance CPU Settings
CPU Ratio Control: Manual
C1E Suppport: Disable
Max CPUID Value Limit: Disabled
CPU TM Function: Disabled
Execute Disable Bit: Disabled
Spead Step: Disabled
Here are some screens of a few results
370x8
--------
340x9
-------
Old Setup
-----------
Not bad for a £10 upgrade after i sold my old parts
And regardless of settings my 3DMark scores variation is very minimal between settings
3DMark05 - 11.5k range
3DMark06 - 5.7/5.8k range
3DMark was done using a Sapphire X1950XT 512mb Stock settings
And idea's of anything i might be able to change to push a bit more out of this CPU or am i good as i am atm?
Btw CPU temp are 40 - 42 Idle and 65 - 67 100% Load using a Arctic Freezer Pro, the thing is im not sure if its seated properly as one of the brackets seems to not be as secure as the rest of them.. is this replaceable?
Cheers in advance guys
