Q6600 Help

[Johnny|lucidcomposure]

Wanna get some more go go fluid out of my CPU but I dunno what to set up in my BIOS in order to do so.

I have this hardware

Abit IP35 (non pro)
Intel Q6600 Quad X64
Corsair CM2X1024-6400C4 4-4-4-12
4x 1gig sticks

ATi x1800XT
Creative Audigy 2 ZS

Any advice on what it will do easily and very stable and how to set it up?

Thanks

awesome!

I have actually got it running at 3.2Ghz now but I am unsure whats a safe setting to use.

use the overclocking tools, such as prime or intel burn test, if they are stable at load without too much heat(check with coretemp) then your ok, i imagine if your on a stock cooler you won't be able to get a higher clock without using a custom cooler.

Im not on a fancy cooler. I managed to clock 3.2Ghz n seemed to run fine but Adobe Lightroom 2.0 crashed.

 

[zykan]

did you run any stress tests?

 

[Johnny|lucidcomposure]

No I didnt. I assumed that because lightroom crashed it was not suitable to be at what spec it was at. To be honest a program like lightroom would have affected memory more than processor.

 

[zykan]

when you originally overclocked did you unlink the fsb to ram ratio? if so, your ram may be o/c'd too much, causing the crashes.

check what freq. its running at in CPU-Z

 

[Johnny|lucidcomposure]

I think I changed it to 1:1

 

[zykan]

yeah that should be fine, not to sure really, i would definitely run some stress tests, did you up your vcore much?
for a 3.2 ghz on stock cooler, shouldnt need to up it that much, i don't think your memory is the problem.
