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

[iMacMart]

Got my chip this morning 'L638F596'? Not sure what that is supposed to tell mean though? Can anyone explain?

Motherboard should be here tomorrow

 

[Angleboy]

Well there hasent been many 6320 Posts in this thread so far, so i feel inclinded to add my own =)

odd thing to note is that regardless of what i do, 400fsb WILL NOT POST 2.80ghz seems to be a nono with my system

This is the highest Pi clock i could get, anything over this by even 4mhz results in instant fail for Pi

And this is the Highest Stable Orthos clock ive got, even a smidge over snags me a crash in about 30min ~ 2 hours

Hi guys

new to Intel clocking so be gentle I have my E6420 at 3.3 tried to run Orthos and got the message below? Vcore 1.48 and 8 x 420 what does this mean please?



Any advice would be great

Personally I would try upping your vcore a little to 1.5v+

What are your temps on full load mate?

 

[iMacMart]

Well for the period Orthos was running they were 42 - 45?

I have a Thermalright Ultra-120 Extreme in an Antec 900 case in a cool room (hate being hot)


Whats the max vcore on these with good cooling?

Whats settings do you have to reach 3.6ghz stable may I ask?

 

[thepigf@rmer]

Also check your ram timings and voltage, had to tweak mine to get Orthos running stable @3.2. I'm still on stock voltage for CPU though.

Well if thats your temps on load then you aint go no problem What you using to mesure your temps as some programs do vary.

I would try with 1.5-1.55v and see how you go. Max voltage I would say is probably 1.6v but it all depends on your temps tbh and what cooling your using.

Personally I use 1.5v for 3.6Ghz and my full load is about 51c (im on water), use 2.4v for my ram with stock timings. Think I notched up the NB to +0.1v.

And im fully prime stable too. My stepping is SLA4T MALAY / L651B731

Give it a go and see what happens as you seem to have a good chip there.

 

[iMacMart]

Ok I'll tweak and come back later to you

Thanks for the help/advice

Sorry using TAT and coretemp for temps btw

 

[iMacMart]

Just a quicky, do you always run the cpu multiplier at x8 or can you reduce that and up the fsb for better more stable/higher clocks?

I have disabled everything I don't need in the bios and mem timing are 5-5-5-15 ?

Hi guys

Did Orthos last night, idle temps 22-25 load 52max

vcore is 1.5 do you think theres more in the chip still? I have an Antec 900 case, with a Thermalright 120 Extreme cooler, DS3R board!

Nice dude, I got an 8 hour orthos blend out of mine @ 3.6 with 1.5v core, earlier in the thread with similar temps. Seems a nice CPU you have :> what stepping?

 

[iMacMart]

What vcore and memory timings did you use?

Stepping FPO#L638F596 ? That it?

 

[Cenuij]

for 3.6 orthos stable i used:

vCore: 1.5v
vDimm: 2.2v
Nbridge: +0.1v
all other voltages @ stock

Memory timings were 5-5-5-15

http://forums.overclockers.co.uk/showpost.php?p=9578038&postcount=348

since that post, I brought the north bridge down to stock, RAM is now running at 4-4-4-12 ( ballistix 8500 ) on 2.1v, vCore now at 1.49

[edit] i should add though that i've not really done much that's pushed the CPU in the last two weeks, just some WoW occasionally and a quick compile. I've a suspicion that 1.49 is borderline unstable at 3.6 if I really had to push things. Just too much damn work at the moment [/edit]

@ Angleboy: What cooling are you using for your E6320, your temps seem very low for that overclock

 

[iMacMart]

Can't seem to get passed 3.4ghz no matter what vcore (1.6) even

vDimm is at 2.2 (Ballistix 5300)

Nbridge +1

Even tried x7 multiplier and 500 fsb and still no joy

Memory timing 5-5-5-15

temps aren't an issue with my setup?

Any advice?

Maybe try a different bios for your motherboard? What motherboard are you using m8?

 

[iMacMart]

Hi Scoobie I have the Gigabyte GA_P35C_DS3R

I think theres a F4beta out but I may be wrong?


Any idea's


EDIT: I'm on F2 atm m8 installed via @BIOS when I built the system this week

Give it a go mate, just had a look and F4b Beta seems to be the latest for your motherboard m8. You might have more luck with that m8, otherwise you can always flash back.

 

[kkthxbye]

some of overclockings kick my e6600 to the side, I can get 3.4 stable but temps are stupid, would now be a good or bad time to sell up and order a e6420?

 

[iMacMart]

I'll tell you once I've flashed to the new BIOS



Cheers Scoobie, will update you later


EDIT: No change can't be the bios holding me back then? Maybe my hardware?
