Overclocking Problem HELP!

Shawreyboy · 6 Sep 2009 at 13:38

Ive just taken the plunge into overclocking my Q6600 to get some more life out of it.

Im failing Orthos and OCCT straight away.

Ive set the DRAM Frequency to 667 Mhz. FSB to 333 Mhz and Multiplier is at 9x to give me 3.0 ghz.

Voltcore is set at 1.26 volts.

Im getting an error on Core 0. whats wrong??

Thanks guys.

This is the Orthos Pic it states some error codes.

Hi DavyBoy. Well i decided to set all voltages back to auto to see if that improved stability and sure enough it did. High temps mind lol. So im in the process of knocking the Vcore down now. I guess i was being really optimistic with that initial Vcore.

Hi Setter yes im using the vid of 1.35 volts and it appears that OCCT is stating that the voltage is 1.31 volts and is stable at 3.0 ghz. Temps are in the mid 40's for core 0 and 1 and at 40 for core 2 and 4. Im assuming this is good. Should be able to push further I have a TRUE and 1 fan and AS5 Line Method.

Ahh yes ive seen LLC in my P45 asus p5q pro. I will enable it i forgot to enable it when i saw it. I remember the first time i had my board and it wouldnt POST. I called Overclockers and the said it was the LLC with quads, a simple removal and re-install of the CMOS battery fixed it.

anyways OCCT is happily stressing it. I will deffo go further maybe 3.2 or 3.4 depending on temps as ive heard the q6600 doesnt like temps over 65 degrees.
