Overclocking noob

that takes days ^^^ its easier to go in big jumps with higher voltages find its stable and then keep lowering it as you go especially when its only a small oc like this
 
^^ it may take more iterations but its a hell of a lot easier to work our which option has rendered you unstable

Spend days on it, most of the time the computer is sitting and running prime anyway
 
hey guys, just an update.
i installed an Asus 88 cpu cooler, and got a new coolermaster 832 case.

At 3.1Ghz
stock cooler: 47/65
New cooler: 27/36

very very happy with results, i think i have another 30 degrees to play with at the moment. However i have a slight feeling that these temps are abit low. anyone agree?

thanks
 
hey, im using speedfan, and OCCT, and both show same temperatures

just an update, i set the CPU to 3.2ghz, Vcore to 1.5v, but it kept crashing on the loading screen to windows

i had to set my ram speed to 633mhz for it to boot in. Is there any point increasing my cpu speed further if i have to decrease my ram speed that much??

thanks
 
What is the volts of your Ram? On the specs it says 1.8-2.1. Try a little bump in voltage, also try upping the n/b a bit.
You could try 400 FSB with a x8 multi, that would give you 3.2 and your ram @ 800
 
i tried bumping up my ram volts to 2v, and still no luck. Windows just doesnt boot up when i set it to 3.2ghz. i played around with the ram speeds aswell, but no luck

Im not sure my bios has a n/b voltage setting
mayb i can play around with the timing?
 
What's the temp of your N/B? Make sure it's not over heating.
Try going back to your last stable settings, then go up in small increments (as suggested earlier), try to find out if the instability creeps in earlier as the FSB goes up, or if it just refuses to boot at a certain FSB.
Put your Ram on a low divider to take it out of the equation.

Can you try FSB 400 with a x7 multi. This only give you 2.8, but you can find out if it's a FSB issue.

You already had it booting @375 with a x8 multi, try it with a x7 then go up to see what the max FSB is. Once you find out the max, you will know your 'potential' highest overclock.
For a high FSB, you might need to bump up the FSB voltage. (think the max is 1.4 on your board).

What's the default multi on your chip? If it's 9, try 344 FSB, this will be 3.1Ghz. I think you said you had it stable at that speed, then just go up in small increments.

i think its only x8 multi. i'll set it to x7 and keep increasing and i'll post my results

so is it my motherboard thats holding me back from overclocking higher?
 
I've just done quick google, and it seems the average overclock for an E6750 is 3.6.
It's quite possible that your board is holding you back, or you could just have a duff chip.

Just keep tweaking and testing, or find someone who has the same board/chip as you.
