***The Official Conroe Overclocking Thread ***

[fornowagain]

?

You really need to work on your questions.

Anyway 60C is a bit high for chipsets, but not that high. If the chipset is failing from high temperatures, upping(sic) the Vcore or others won't help stability.

Has been running fine for 4 days, can't justify leaving it on to run orthos so the longest I had it going was about 30 minutes.

 

[maddness]

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?

well get a fan blowing on the chipset and see if that helps with stability,
by the way what board are you using?

 

[fan_83]

goes and wander off a cliff somewhere.... my years of formal english education has failed. i can;t communicate

i am using a ds3 with a 6400. i have a 40mm fan over my nb it helps keep the temp to udner 50 at full dual prime load I am using the f4e bios

at 400mhz i need 1.4vcore but its dual prime stable for 12 hours
with *** rest of the settings at auto, with the vdimm at +.3
however at 415 I can get the system to run dual prime but after between 1-3 hours the comp jsut reboots.
i tried 430 but at the speed i need a vcore of 1.48+ to even get into windows. does this means that my system has reach a wall ?
i am assuming that it does so because it overheats and not instead of anything else.

I have another problem is that my idle temp is around the high 40s c while my load temp is arund 60c
am i right in inferring it due to the crap cooler setting and needs a better layer of thermal paste?
i am using the ac 7 pro with the standard applied paste

any suggestion on what settings to change to get a better overclock?
i will probably set my ram timings to 5-5-5-15, even though my geil ultra 6400 should be fine, but jsut be safe.
I am thinking of raising the chipset, fsb vcore by +0.1 to try and test for better stability at 430 without the insane high vcore

my overclocking aims is 3.6ghz

please advice on the various issues and if you guys still can't understand me, I have to go take remedial english which is very bad

ps: everest seem to be reporting a vcore drop of around 0.02-3 while using dual prime, you think it wise to use the pencil mod?

 

[Socaddict]

set your vdimm to +0.2V
Set your FSB to +0.1V
Set your (G)MCH to +0.1V

The try again. I have my E6300 stable at 470FSB on 1.425V

Set your memory timings manually by pressing ctrl+F1 in bios settings, set them to 5,5,5,15.

Try it atgain like that, you really shouldn't need that many volts. Mine was stable at 430FSb with 1.35V, 460FSB on 1.4V

 

[gam3r]

Would you guys say stable 100% 2.8GHz overclock on an E6300 on stock volts on everything apart from ram is decent?

Thats a nice clock.

However 3.4ghz should be easily achieveable with a little bump in vcore.

 

[gam3r]

Next target is 3GHz...i will be happy then

hit a wall

my setup
e6600
Asus P5W DH Deluxe
G.Skill 2GB DDR2 HZ PC2-6400
Scythe Ninja

here are the settings im using
vMCH - 1.65
Vcore - 1.55
memory voltage 2.3
PCI - 33Mhz
PCI-E - 101
Hyper path 3 disabled
memory timing 4-4-4-5-15
memory divider 1:1
bios 1101

im at 360 fsb x9 = 3240 prime stable for 2 hrs (have to test more)
if i push it to 370 fsb prime fails after 4 seconds

do you guys think i have reached the limit of this cpu or is there some setting iv overlooked?

What are the motherboard+cpu temps at load?

 

[tuxy]

underfull dual prime load 55 for the cpu and 42 for the motherboard

Looks a bit high, download coretemp it reads the cpu's internal diodes, what does it that say the cores are getting up to?

 

[vocch]

Try looser timings 5-5-5-15.

wow 70c, maybe im at the limit for this cooling

I've seen reports that the solder that attaches the core to the IHS melts at 77C.

 

[Things change I've changed]

I've seen reports that the solder that attaches the core to the IHS melts at 77C.

I hope not, during the heat wave I hit 84c dual priming lol, even now it hits early 70's, I'm just hopeing these cpu's are as robust as the precotts, if they are then I'm really not that worried, I used RightMark CPU Clock to see if thermal throttleing was kicking in but it was'unt.

 

[nick_000000]

I've seen reports that the solder that attaches the core to the IHS melts at 77C.

I doubt the solder would melt at 77C I would say you would need at least another 10C, so over 87C at least unless it's really crappy solder which I know it's not. I wouldn't want my core getting that hot in the first place though, don't want to kill the poor little thing .

 

[Jimbo]

My E6600 @ 3ghz no extra voltage increases and its rock stable..

I know its not much but Im proud of it lol. Didnt used to overclock much in the past, but not doing so on the conroe is a crime in my eyes.

Its not made of lead, its an LMP alloy called indium and people have removed IHS at that temperature 77C. Its totally liquid by 85C, plenty of solder alloys melt in the 70 range, so be careful. High temps don't hurt the core, if it melts don't know what'll happen, damage the contact?

Here's a pretty mad thread, I haven't seen one work after the surgery yet.
