Overclocking e6300 Problem

jongeeone · 3 Dec 2006 at 21:56

Just tried to overclock slightly, 300 x 7 which is nothing, increased the vcore to 1.45 and the ram +0.3 to 2.1 (i think) and things just come up not resposing in windows, whats going on?

no i havnt, i did try but there was more than i thought, i set them to 4 4 4 12 in order of the list, but then below the 12 was another one to set which i wasnt to sure about

jongeeone · 3 Dec 2006 at 22:21

ok, so set the first 4 to 4 4 4 12 and increase the MCH by 0.1

bbiab!

Ok, this hasnt worked, things are just not responding.

yes the RAM multiplier is 2.0 and the PCI-E is at 100

I will try the usb legacy thing now.

jongeeone · 3 Dec 2006 at 22:46

I disabled the usb legacy thingy, the ram multiplier was at 2.5, now its at 2 and all seems ok.

But the ram now runs at 600mhz?

jongeeone · 3 Dec 2006 at 22:58

I was going to try it now

jongeeone · 3 Dec 2006 at 23:02

In actual fact, i will try it tomorrow when i got more time if i need to reset the cmos

EDIT

Thought i would try 7 x 400 and it seems ok :| 2800mhz, memory at 800mhz @ 38degrees

EDIT

Turned on my pc this morning and after a while it rebooted its self. Trying 375 x 7 now see if that works :|

jongeeone · 4 Dec 2006 at 11:28

Ok nothing works, it lasted at 375fsb for a while then things started not responding and it rebooted it self

vcore = 1.425
ddr = +0.4 (2.2)
MCH = +0.1
PCI = 100
Ram multiplier = x2
fsb = 350
ram timings = 4 4 4 12

Where am i going wrong?

jongeeone · 4 Dec 2006 at 15:02

i will try those settings later on tonight,

i d/l orthos sp 2004 and i did the blend one (cpu+ram) and it lastes 4 seconds with a fatal error, i then tried the cpu one it is going fine.

Is the RAM faulty? It is a geil and there are some faulty ones going about.

i'll slack off the timings to 5-5-5-15

EDIT

Narrowing it down to the stock cooling. Running the memory on its own is fine aswell, While stressing the cpu EasyTune is showing around 38degrees and Coretemps is showing 68degrees which is high, this is only at 2.3ghz aswell.

ctrl + f1 on the main bios screen

then into the inteligance thingy

its there.

jongeeone · 4 Dec 2006 at 17:06

Erm, when im next in the bios i'll jot it down :|

jongeeone · 4 Dec 2006 at 17:07

This is getting anoying now. Things work but then a "not responding" box just randomly appears.

Valerian is this what you mean

CAS# Latency (tCL) 4.0 clocks
RAS# to CAS# (tRDC) 4 clocks
RAS# Precharge (tRP) 4 clocks
Cycle Time (tRAS) 12 clocks

Heres the HTML dump from CPU-Z

jongeeone · 4 Dec 2006 at 18:45
