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

XysteR said:
Make sure you don't add any volts to that Geil ram. It hates overvolting on our boards. Set the ram multi to 2.0.

Infact don't over volt anything. leave it as-is until you find the highest 100% clock on stock volts.

Also make sure you set the rams timings manually in the bois 4 4 4 12. If you get say 3GHz stock volts 100% stable and you wanna go higher, you could relax the timings back.

My 6420 does 3.2 on stock volts easily. I'm thinking about going higher but in all honesty i might just leave it at 3.2 as the temps are pretty good.

Yeh, ive got it at 2870mhz at the mo, seems stable, played oblivion/stalker for a few hours, ran 3dmark 06 and been running orthos for the last hour. Temps are at 48-50 max under orthos. Will check to see if this is stable then i'm going to go for 3ghz when my new fans come 2moro. After that i'm going to concentrate on memory seen as it has the timings wrong in the bios (5-5-5-18 compared with the 4-4-4-12 it says the ultra latencies are supposed to be)

LOL o dear, embarrassing? its a hobby not my life. Like 8 hours of orthos is required to prove stability? If i can encode a movie, have crap loads of stuff open and play CSS at the same time its stable enough for me and any 1 else. If its you just not believing it, then whatever.

+ note its a e6320/e6420 OVERCLOCKING thread, wheres the MUST BE ORTHOS 8 HOURS in that? just sharing the OCin experiance, so you dont need to act cocky with every none orthos screeny saying it means nothing. Peace.

but yeah ok back to the OCin talk

Right Just for the record Its a common even playing field in here that if you overclock and wish to share your results you post a stability shot.

Something like that. My 6400 @ 3.8ghz with proof after some people on here had doubts about the clock.

I was pleased to oblige and show them my 24/7 clock.

I have seen this countless times before with people saying that their clocks are 100% Stable and when asked for proof will dodge the reality of what clocking is about.

A clock is failed clock if stabilty testing is not shown.

Gaming stable and "oh I can encode a movie" Just don't cut it.

I could Boot my PC and do a super Pi @ 4ghz with my 6400 but stabilty at this speed was a NO NO under water.

Gaming stable and having loads of stuff running does NOT mean a successful clock In my eyes and hundreds of other OCUK forum members.

so with your unseen back up from easyrider and 'other members' id say the majority dont give a damn lol

Thats where you are wrong...

I'm not impressed with your 3.8ghz super PI clock.

It means nothing to me.And without a stabilty test how can I make a valid judgement on what steppings are good clockers and will achieve 3.8ghz stable?

Keep it up, let us know how you get on. Not sure if you know but you have to press CTRL - F1 to get the advanced options in the bios for ram timings ;)

lol ok so you do exist, well the majority have now spoken obviously....i stand corrected. Did scooby pm you for backup? ;)

chaps, im sorry that you are not impressed by most of the screenies you see on this thread. I do appreciate orthos is a good proof of 99.9% rock stability. its just some people can live with just 'excellent' stability (never crashes with use of normal applications and benchmarks) im yet to try orthos actually, maybe this weekend.

Easyrider what mobo you do that on m8? good clock thats all :) cant boot mine at 4ghz

for some reason i cant seem to get my e6420 to boot at any thing past 3.4,

it will boot at 3.4 and be orthos stable for 8 hrs but anything else past that it dont want to no
 
Scoobie Dave said:
No I didn't, I just know how it works around here and that a 1mb super pi/running applications is no proof for stablity if you want to be taken seriously. ;)

m8 , i said before , i just threw in a shot of the clock that included a pi shot cuz i did it for my other forum, which was a S.Pi challenge. Wasnt proof of stabilty just sharing my achievable clock, lets not go round in circles now.

do you know what board easyrider uses m8? im looking for a change, maybe a p35.... no hard feelings btw m8 , just a difference in opinion really aint it :)

+ kingo have you tried a big step over 3.4? mine wouldnt go 1 mhz above 3.6 which had me puzzled but works fine again at 3.62+, may be a dead area of clock? just a thought

My clock was on a DQ6 (have an Abit P35 pro on Order)

Certain mobo's have FSB holes...One of the reasons I ditched my 680i

Abit IP-35 Pro?? havnt looked at the abit p35's yet, well fancy a upgrade, reluctant to move away from asus though, last 3 mobos have been asus , spoze i should move on :p lookin at that abit now, wicked layout, read up on it much? you know how it compares to other p35s? good price too!

600 FSB IRCC has been reported and stabilty to match.

I have had many Asus mobos and fancy an Abit for a change.

Sorry to go of topic a bit but. . .

How does the Gigabyte GA P35 DS4 compare to the Abit, is that capable of reaching 600fsb too? Im on the hunt for a decent P35 mobo. . .
Click to expand...

By all accounts the ABIT is a fine mobo.

Stable out of the box cool running and a nice clocker.
The price is nice too. :cool: ;)
