***The Official Conroe Overclocking Thread ***

I've made a Conroe overclocking database thread that doesn't seem to be doing very well, thought it would be quite nice to document all these overclocks in one place. Link here

Do the higher clocks first.

Makes it easier for people to analyse data.

what clocks need what vcore etc..
 
very sadly got ny 6400 and ds3 up to 3.44ghz.. 430fsb..
i had to put my vcore up to 1.5. i think i am limited due to overheating. my artic cooling freezer pro doesn;t seem to be able to cope with thea heat increase.

may have to get a zlaman circular cpu cooler

with 1.5v what are your temps under load?
 
using everest and running dual prime snall fft its at 66-68 atm, i will try to get it stable using less volts...

but i was targeting for 3.6 :(

Yeah at 3.6ghz I was getting 69-70c with a zalman 9500.

With that much vcore you are really looking at water for 24/7 imo.

My temps are now

29c idle
55-58c fulload @ 3.8ghz 1.55 vcore
 
i will try using the newest bios.. currently at official f4..and when i get my nb cooler i will reset my freezer 7 again.. hopefully its just a problem of insufficient thermal grease and that the ihs isn't concave

hopefully i can get past the 430wall...i really want 450

by the way, is there a hardline for max vcore and load temp for 24/7 usage ? theres talk about 1.5v being max and temp below 60
any confirmation?

Lower temps can be had with air. I've seen some people gain significant drops with lapping the cpu. I think I was just lucky with mine, on full load coretemp hovers around 56/58C max at 3.6GHz/1.55v (ambient 20C, fan on medium 1600RPM, goes to 2000RPM but it begins to be audible, prefer it silent)




Also looks like there are two types of IHS, sharp edged and beveled. The sharp ones are reported to be more flat.

well its just my luck, accidentally changed some registry settings when editting causing my whole system to disappear.. had to reinstall.. used the opportunity to go f4e and clear cmos.. re do the oc now.. hopefully will get lower times

f4e is somewhat crap... my whole system is now unstable,, i get the systems config error whenever my system resets..
but i will perservere and hope for the amazing 450fsb

Here's my overclocking experience on a 6300 with Geil Ultra 6400 RAM





Problem is I can't change my timings to cas 4 (2.3V) without the system becoming unstable, which is a bit weird since it's rated at Cas4.

Max temp for CPU is 58C. Think I can push it a bit more, but I'm concerned with the RAM timings, if anyone can help out.

P.S. I've got a DS4 mobo.

All the core 2 duo motherboards still probably have overclocking bugs in, I have seen a lot of problems with setting the memory manually to the rated setting on a lot of different boards we will just have to wait untill all the different companies sort it out.
 
well i tried to redo my whole oc again..

i got it stable at 400 with a 1.4 adn the rest on auto..
raising it to 415, i need to rasie it to around 1.43 and i get a problem

its running dual prime merrily then it auto reboots after about 1-3 hours,

am i right in assuming its due to *** overheating problem in either the cpu, nb or sb..

at least thats what i gather instead of prime error..
will be getting my zm nbf47 tomorrow, will swap the nb, put a fan on the sb and reset my ac7 pro..

can someone please confirm the temp on *** sb.. my reading shows high 60s

it seems weird that any speed over 430 will require vcore of 1.5...

i guess my cpu is limited to under 430 or do i need to raise the voltages on otehr settings?
 
fan 83, what RAM have you got?

Take the ram down to +0.2V. Before, I couldn't get my FSB above 430. now I've taken my RAM voltage down from +.3V to +0.2V, and I've already managed to get my FSB up by at least 30, should be able to do even more.

On 1.4V on the CPU now, load temps of 58C according to coretemp. Plenty cool enough, still. Should be able to take it higher on this voltage.

Love this new rig, frankly.
 
i am using the gteil ultra 6400
i will drop it to +.2 and see what happens
also am i right in assuming htat with the idle and load temp of
48ish and 65ish, that means bad contact with *** coler and nothing else right..
cos i am a bit worried that my idle temp with *** case open is high 40s
and i am using everest to see my temp.. as its the most comprehensive one

please make it simple

I don't understand your post,check your spelling and be more concise

same post but cleared up spelling nad use full terms instead of shortforms


well i tried to redo my whole oc again..

i got it stable at 400 with a 1.4 and the rest on auto..
raising it to 415, i need to rasie it to around 1.43vcore and i get a problem

its running dual prime merrily then it auto reboots after about 1-3 hours,

am i right in assuming its due to the overheating problem in either the cpu, northbridge or southbridge..

at least thats what i gather instead of prime error asi there is not error reported but jsut a reboot..
i will be getting my zm nbf47 tomorrow, will swap the northbridge, put a fan on the southbridge and reinstall my ac7 pro..

can someone please confirm the temp on the southbridge.. my reading shows high 60c using an external probe

it seems weird that any speed over 430 nhz will require vcore of 1.5...

i guess my cpu is limited to under 430 or do i need to raise the voltages on other settings?
