***The Official 6320/6420 Overclocking Thread***

@ Stock my idle core temps are 30C Load via Tat or Boinc 45 - does that sound about right ? (15 degrees differential)

CPU temp via speedfan 22 IDLE 37 Load (again 15 degrees differential)

System temperature still sux : 43C ! (maybe still high from the overclocked runs).

My vcore at stock is 1.256 - 1.26V

I recogn these temps are high and looks like a reseat is in order maybe go easy on the AS5 with just a tiny bit in the center rather than the smothering that I gave it before.

EDIT :
Even my E6400 in another machine is @ 50C Load with stock HSF :rolleyes:

Since the systemps on my new board are high I'm thinking the seating and the tuniq is to blame as the heat is relayed back to the board. Anyone concur ?

EDIT :

Amazing I swapped out the 8600GT for a state of the art S3 mach64 with something like a meg of ram on it (i dunno its well old)

System temperature down to 41. Load temperatures down to 37C - I guess this is all due to the fact that the gfx card draws power from the motherboard - I think I might go for that 3.6 now :D

The overclock quietly treatment from me.

[email protected] stable with the lowest volts and fan speed that I could give it at. Note I am still not happy with the boards temps hence my low voltages.

Motherboard : Asus P5K (bios 0406)
Vcore 1.4250V Bios, 1.38real, 1.32 vdrop. (replicate below auto stock values on this board)
Everything auto but enabled voltage dampener.
Relaxed memory @ 5-5-5-15
Slow fan speed - 1450 RPM.

I'll be going for 3.4 now

3.4Ghz

Im getting a BSOD with anything higher than and including 3.45Ghz (with 1.45V) so im pretty sure its Vista being a tool. Carnt wait to get XP back.

Dont know why I put the timings at 5-5-5-15 aswell. RAM can run at 4-4-4-12 at that speed.

Not another pre-emptive overclocking thread?

Because people like me reply, it always turns out that the first results don't come until the 4th page or so. Therefore, easyrider, it is your obligation to make a spreadsheet of all the results and put it in the original post.

OK its a deal! :D

Where's the spreadsheet then? ;)
Btw I would have thought that most of the point of a thread like this is to find out out what the typical overclock is ,so yes it is useful to know how many people get 3.2-3.4GHz ,but its nice to know what this chip can peak at too ;)
Good to see this thread is getting back to CPU o/cs ,I'm about to order one myself ,once I've built it & found its optimal speed I'll post back :)

Nice o/c! :D ,what mbrd is that on?

My current effort. 3.2Ghz - Orthos stable for over 18 hours. Other specs in sig.

I decided I'm happy with it there so not gonna play with higher much more. I did briefly try 3.4 but it looked like it needed more voltage and, well, 3.2 is more than enough for me. Plus getting the RAM timings just right was a real mission and I'll have to change the divider to go much higher.

1.3625 I believe. Upped it once and started at 1.35v. It actually ran for around 9 hours at 1.35v, but then crapped out in orthos.

Read somewhere that the P5B deluxe tends to undervolt it though - not sure how true that is. What's the best way to measure it properly?

i found to get above 3.2 you need a lot more vcore volts. i think it was 1.44v for 3.4ghz and 1.54v needed for 3.6ghz but watch your load temps.

not bad, but your in the wrong thread :p, only joking, wind her up and see what she can do. nice low vcore and temps good. never seen a E4200 before.

Tis the wrong thread.

What I get for setting stuff up and not paying enough posting attention.
