During PCfair at All IT booth... the biggest Gigabyte banner place... RM670... i got offer cuz i sapu their C2D, 7600GS and the mobo...

when increasing clock... voltage also must increase... therefore creating more heat... so it's best to know bout the highest clock at stable cond and temp... on stock hardware...

i'll be changing the NB ompound and i usually leave my casing open and let the wind blow from my standing fan...

mine everything in stock... juz changed the clock... mem multiplyer set to auto and so r the voltages... i not spending any money for better sinks and fans cuz i think not worth yet... my GC no fan so heat build up inside... i put the CM 8cm fan to blow my GC which is suppose to blow the HDD... and y must disable those EIST and virtual bla bla bla...?

BTW... my temp in HW monitor shows 26 when starting and 35 when i restart after playing games... currently Dawn of War Dark Crusade... heavy 1...

some proc can do 3.2Ghz at stock vcore...but i need to up a bit the vcore to 1.331v...and some even to 1.35 or 1.4v...so, for the guy that need 1.4v, 3.2ghz might be his highest safest clock but for the guy that can do this at stock vcore...it's kacang putih i.e. not yet the highest safest clock...that'w why i said most of the time people is looking at highest safest voltage or temp...and ofcourse with the similar cooling method la...
EIST is Enhance Intel Speedstep Tech...if u r ocing ur rig, u really wouldnt want this speedstep stuff to kicks-in...it will drop the clock...and others have similar effect or the one that u dont really need...the thing that u dont need but utilising ur comp resources...so just disable it la...
anyway...according to one forumer (working with intel), safest voltage would be 1.36v if u want to use the same proc for the next 3-5 years...safest temp for 24/7...on load would be < 70, measured by TAT...
but anyway, to sum it up, pls refer to post made by blaxez

its all about bios settings @ f7

I'm using Speedfan atm, but everything doesn't seem to be right...
ie. getting 1.86V on the +12V rail, even though some values are correct...

Any recommendation?

U should use Core Temp to get the temperature readings... This temperatures are too low IMHO... Core Temp provides a more accurate temp reading...

use CoreTemp or TAT...that would really shows the core temperature...ET5 might show 5-10c lower...

use the bundle software la d00d
the EasyTune5 haizz.. -.-

The GUI was very inconvinient though... Nvm, I just found that Everest is quite good...

I saw an article somewhere that said software voltage reader arent reliable if you're going to do serious OC ...

it is advised to go for manual voltage checking (that technician cool gadget)

oopss .. sory for the out-of-topic reply ... well, what done is done

damn... Wat the hell intel use to read the temp of their own tech... so lame...

i dun think bios f7 dun hav in my mobo~

bro... u really get the good price...
now currently the cheaper we can get is 688 already....

yeah... i agree... wanna get 1 of those also... but not so important rite...?

easytune is juz not as easy as i want... i prefer OC in Bios...
BTW... i wanna know bout the safest clock in stock heatsink and fan... not wat tool to OC ler...

ok... current temp wif core temp...
fresh start: 59
after heavy load: 65
so... is tat bad...?

Maybe I can help you out a bit as I'm using the same spec, DS4 (Burned a hole in my pocket!!!) + e6300 Week 29...

I guess my proc is surprisingly good at OCing...
I'm doing 450x7 at stock vCore (1.225V) set in BIOS even though CPU-Z and Everest shows it's only at (1.19ishV)...

gmch:+0.1
pcie:+0.0
fsb:+0.1

Using PC6400 OCZ Platinum 4-5-4-15 @ 2.1V and Arctic Freezer Pro 7 (Using SmartFan, didn't on full blast cause too noisy)
My idle temp is at 45-48C...
Full load on both cores using intel TAT is 62C Max... This is 24/7 in air-con room...

Btw, does upping PCI-E voltage help to oc CPU or GPU?

Try max-ing ur proc till ur pc becomes unstable..

my computer spec is as below, my signature. so i just wondering what is the safe limit i can go with it, with stock cooler? 250FSB? only planning to modify the FSB because i am clueless about all those Vcore stuff. thx in advance

i think 250Mhz on stock is too much...must consider ur ram and other hardware..

auto voltage can't stabilize my system lar... i'll try adjusting them myself...

tat's impressive...

oh ok... i just modified my FSB to 229. currently running stable at 3dmark and pcmark. temp went up from 35 (normal) to 38 (overclocked). so i assume ok gua.. dont dare to tweak any other setting because i dont know anything about it. any website that i can read up.

just wondering can i go anymore further? sorry if this sounds too noob

Try not to overvolt so much, your system will remain rather cool I guess... Just add 0.1V on FSB and gmch, I reckon should not try to go higher than that, just play with the vCore only as you might not want stress the motherboard a lot as upping the FSB already stresses the NB a lot...

-Deleted- :sorry:

If using proper setting on the bios surely your proc can go at least 3.2GHz stable.Try to adjust some of the memory settings in the bios there.

bro...e6300 stock vcore should be 1.325v...which meanssss u r running ur proc at 3.2g undervolted...and the way i see it, it's a good news and damn great proc...i need 1.331v to stabilize at 3.2g

is tat the way it is? i though its a typo!? u know 1.325v and 1.225v.

1.225V Vcore is indeed most impressive part of ur rig... but it's not stock... damn i wish mine can... u change any cooling system...? thermal paste, HSF, etc...?

Hehehe... Sorry guys for the confusion... I know that 1.225V is not stock... But that's why it is automatically set by the mobo, as far as for mine... Sorry
Btw, I'm curious that does ur DS4 set the voltage to 1.225 at default?

I'm using Arctic Cooling Freezer 7 Pro, lapped with Arctic Cooling MX1 thermal paste which came with the cooler... Maybe that helps a little. Btw, the bottom fins of the HSF is also angled a bit towards the mobo, might help a little to blow air towards the mofsets...

hm... weird... i use stock HSF but vcore still stock... nvr undervolt... BTW my clock has changed... autoconfig voltage wif F6 bios...

Yeah, I'm running F6 all this while... Left it at Auto, so it is set at 1.225V and it's very stable, loaded both cores with TAT for 24hrs... So what is your vCore atm? The F6 BIOS automatically undervolt the proc?

no wor... surprisingly it's at normal vCore which is 1.325V... will do further testing... Gigabyte juz gets better and better than ever...

Very strange then... Don't know why my mobo undervolt my processor at default :S. But never mind lar... At least it's good in a way, can reduce heat

I've got a P4 2.4ghz wif a 533mhz FSB and 512mb ram... Wats the max i can clock it too? is it advisable for me to clock it??

I wanna clock my ram too cause my pc is getting slower...

P4 2.4GHz pairing with what board?If using third party board should be able to overclock.Max. clock has to depend on your hardware configuration.

porc stepping? mobo? ram? psu?

Aactually i m a newbie here...i don't know much about computers yet...What's PSU and PORC STEPPING???

PSU is Power Supply Unit.
I think u should go to download CPU-Z, it will show u all the info of ur processor.

E6600
Gigabyte DQ6
Corsair 800mhz, 2gb high performance (5,5,5,12)
XFX 7950GX2
Acbel 550 PSU

what are the OC setting should be? now i try in the 3dmark06, and the score was damn low, 8+++, ? what is the score should be? thanks

typo

proc stepping

PORC STEPPING is???

You can check the stepping via CPU-Z software.

told you edi, not PORC lar..
it is PROC stand for processor

wat is PROC stand for processor ???

double post

ey? do sum google la bro

proc

"Proc" is just LYN slang/shortform for PROCcessor. Geddit? Now let's please get back on topic.

sorry guys....ok back on the topic

MY pc specs

- 2.4ghz
- bus speed 533mhz
- MOBO is D865PERL Intel
- Ram 256mbx2 (dual-channel)
- PSU 300w

how can i clock it and remain it stable???
