I'm rather new to OCing an Intel..

Just wondering what is an average temp for E6300 @

1. 2.4Ghz
2. 3.0 Ghz

...using stock cooling and a Li-an Li full alu casing.

Regards.

well... it be best to keep Intel Core Procs temp ard 63 and below...
BTW... Nice Casing... I always admire those Lian Li casings in ATE HQ... especially the 1ce wif RM1k price tags 1... very good air flow design and extremely solid...

set ur PCIe frequency to 100...
i think ur board FSB stability wall is also 480... same wif me... i can get 500x7 but not stable at all...
manage to get 17sec in 1M superPI... at 3.36GHz... at 1.38V... full load temp 66 on core temp... so i don dare to keep tat speed... stay at 2.8GHz at 1.28V safer... full load 58...

I think my rig is running warm due to the room and the placement...

If I Orthos @ 2.4Ghz, not even 5 minutes I can already hit 60+ so in 10 minutes definetely 70.

Looks like I'll have to invest in a copper heatsink..

Does anyone know what Zalman models are compatible with a Gigabyte DS3 rev 3.3 ?

Thanks.

hi guys , i need help on OC my pentium D 805
since ppl told me my proc is holding back my GC so i decided to oc
this is my rig setup
pentium D 805 @ 2.66ghz
msi 945PL neo
apacer 512MB ddr2 533mhz X2
galaxy 7900GS
coolermaster extreme power 430watt

i went bios to look for several settings, i can see ram steppings, i can see fsb, but i couldn't find where to change vcore for proc and multiplier

hope you guys can help me,thx

first of all,get urself a better psu,if u wanna oc,some more with 7900GS,how many hdd u running?

and if u wanna oc ur 820,get urself a better hsf first only u do it,or else,u r feeding a fire dragon.

haha....changed my hsf already,currently using noctua
psu not enough juice ah? so far i'm running 1 hdd, 1 dvd rom, 1 dvd burner

ps: i thought mine is 805? its 820 ka?

eh,eye shooting bird,it's 805.

anyway,base on ur rig setup,if some more wanna oc,i suggest u really change ur psu to better one,it is not a reliable psu.

get a 400W pure power strider can do the oc job perfectly.

hmm,before changing my psu, got few questions, i suspect my bios lock certain features
cause i couldn't find multiplier settings and i can view but can't change my vcore

As AceCombat said, u need to change PSU. But why not to try Gigabyte 945P-DS3 first. It much more able to oc than MSI Neo.

suppose there's some option to change the vcore. even my low end abit ip-95 got this option....

my 820 ok when oc but dun dare to push again... but really need to get a new hsf... wat do you guyz recommend? my buget around 100 to 120 oni...

if rm100 like that i think Arctic Cooling Freezer 7 Pro is the best choice.

as for the mobo,a Biostar 965PT is highly recommended,only rm370!!!

if i put in a bit more money for better cooling... wat u think i should get? and wat the price....

LYP is selling TTBT VX for RM165. its the most affordable "high end" cooler.
it's a steal if you ask me.

dude, check my siggie. my torrent rig is oc-ed using the same psu that you are using. running 24/7, summore with stock (lapped) hsf.
idle temp 42C load orthos 56C. i dont see if there's any problem keeping your psu.

TT bIg Typhoon is the best Budget mainstream oc'ker. Already using E6850 @ 4GHz, VT-ten?

not yet dude. still in the midst of max clock attempt and looking for the sweetest spot for daily use

I am using E6600 + Gigabyte 965G-DS3
Hyperx kingstone Ram 2x512 (800 -4 -4 -4 -12)

Manage to overclock over 3Gz but it failed to detect my Hard Disk..

Any1 know whats wrong here?? is it cause less power to boot it up?
If yes, what's the setting i should put in Bios setup?

& about the FSB : DRAM 1:1 / 2:3 (Ram) <-- how i set it? mine current is 2:3 how i manage to make it to 1:1 ?

& need more information , plz let me know

hope to get some help here

yo guys, my rig is as in my sig,

atm i have my system at 430fsb *7 = 3.01GHz and is orthos stable

fsb : dram is 1:1 obviously..

but when i bump my fsb to 450, or even 500, i *CAN* boot, but my orthos not stable anymore (shows error of rounding or some sort).. something wrong with the cpu..

my Vc is 1.200, i tried increasing to 1.300 when i bump my fsb to 500, but still orthos is not stable..

anyway i could be helped?

few more noob questions wanna ask
where to change fsb:dram ratio?
and i found out something, my proc vcore is not stable, it keeps changing (observed in cpu-z)

edit: read some reviews, it says multiplier for 805D is locked at 20X now the thing i'm most curious is,why my bios doesn't have option for me to change vcore

u set the fsb:dram to 1:1 (ddr400)?
play with ram timing?

I can push to 300*9 with all stock voltage/hsf.
Going to push further with better hsf later

any1 here played Celeron 420...? it's dual core celeron running at 1.6GHz stock... i got a feeling tat it's basically PDC2140...

So u might go till 3.0GHz only ler. Change to P35-DS3 ma...

planning to change board edi today tried to push at stock voltage, can't even break 3ghz barrier

guys, whats the ideal idle/load temp for c2d e6300 ah?

Maybe ppl think its not worth it bcoz just add RM100 can get dual-core E2140.

but both same speed and multiplier wor... for me is juz RM80 diff...
I got ~RM1000 to spend on CPU+mobo... which 1 should i take...?

GA-P35-DQ6 + Intel PDC 2140/2160
or
GA-P35-DS3 + Intel C2D E6750

I already got a GA-965P-DS4 + C2D E6300 but need another rig for my bro... so i wanna upgrade mine and give the balance to my bro...

damn... MSI boards i got no comments cuz i got bad exp wif most of them... even the sc939 K8N-Neo4H also...

for PD805... OC will require maths skills... for ur RAM... there should be a multiplier instead of ratio... so if 1:1 u set to 2x... cuz it's 2/2=1...
so if u put 3.33x u have to divide 2 to get the DDR frequency...

I think the 2nd option is better as I just acquired the same configuration - GA-P35-DS3 + E6750.

I did much research on gigabyte mobos and found that the GA-P35-DS3 was suitable for me. Single PCI-E x16, ultradurable 2 features and no raid. Not much review on this board but I think it is equivalent to the GA-P35-DS3R mobo (which is only different by having the ICH9R chipset which includes the raid function). In terms of OC, this mobo is supposed to be able to go up to 490-500Mhz bus speed)

So far, I've tried a bus speed of 420Mhz and it worked flawlessly (at stock MCH/FSB voltages).

For the E6750, the only problem compared to the E6850 is the 8x multiplier. If you want to aim for 4Ghz (dunno whether possible or not), you would need a bus speed of 500Mhz!!!

So far, I'm orthosing my E6750 at 1.35v (stock voltage) at 3280Mhz. That's the highest stable OC I can get on stock voltage. Probably try higher voltages later.....

orthosing.. now that's a new word...

but yeah, the 2nd option is the better one "IN CASE* you're not gonna change your proc or mobo anytime soon. if you're planning for d proc soon, then the 1st option is nice.. once gathered lots of money, jus change the proc to a better performing one..

Orthosing? Nah, already used this word since dunno when....

Don't forget that most, if not all, P35 mobos are supposed to support the upcoming Intel 45nm CPUs e.g. penryn. That's the reason I got this mobo. Another reason why I got the E6750 instead of the E6850/Q6600. Planning to go for the penryn family of CPUs in the future.....

the future which lies ahead is not known so much for me, thus i'll keep this rig for now.. wait til 2-3 yrs then have a major haulass...

i think u just pointed out another thing i couldn't reach on my mobo
yesterday i found this guide, has anyone tried it? i know it sounds crazy, but i bet there's did that
http://sg.vr-zone.com/?i=3931

tat's the reason y i wanna get the 1st option cuz Celeron 420(Conroe-L) is supposed to be as good as E2140... Celeron 420 did 42sec in 1M super_PI on stock as compared to AMD X2 3800 which did 44sec on stock... even though the diff not big but price very big... tat can hold on until Penryn family... but i don need the RAID & the Big pipe thingy... Crossfire i might consider...

err... my GA-965P-DS4 can do 500x7 wif E6300 but Orthos 3 sec then error and full load temp at 62... but voltage at 1.38V... don really wanna go for higher voltage...

Aaaa.... orthos 3 sec then already error? That's not stable la. For me, at least 6-12 hours of orthos before I even consider it "at least" stable.

Still waiting for my xigmatek before I OC further as my core temp is already about 55'c on stock heatsink at 3.28Ghz at 1.35v. (using easytuner5, not using core temp as it shows 6'c lower temperature)

yeah, happen to me as well, orthos 3 sec then got error, when increase fsb to 500Mhz..

increase to 530MHz also can, but still the same ol error larr..

mmg tak stable once hit the wall larr, and i guess the wall is at 450MHz for me..

How high did you set your vMCH and vFSB?

tat's my point... i think can if i get it stable wif higher voltage but i not willing to cuz of temperature... i prefer to keep it below 63... even on full load...

for me i set both +0.2V...

Added on July 28, 2007, 10:25 am
And another question wat if i replace the silent pipe on GA-P35-DQ6 wif these...
and

eerr... u can't increase ur voltage meh....?

no, that's the weirdest thing i'm facing, msi core centre also cannot change vcore, bios also can't change

set both of em to +0.2V, then set fsb to 450MHz.. still orthos failed after 3 sec..

i can increase vMCH and vFSB to +0.3V, but would it work?

when i set my orthos priority to 10, it seems stable.... normally i set my orthos priority at a default 1..

sorry, im actually quite a n00b in oc'ing...

hope you guys can help.. thanx..

A higher vMCH will enable you to go higher on your bus speed. However, I'm not too sure about vFSB as some people claims that it doesn't do anything. Maybe a +0.1v just to make the system more stable???

I noticed you set your rams at 4-4-4-9 at 430Mhz. Was your rams at this setting when you increase the bus speed to 450Mhz? If so, it could be because of your rams. In that case, either loosen the timings, or reduce the ram speed. Alternatively, you need to find the max ram speed at each setting first before you OC your CPU.

try playing with PCI-E Voltage, it's give a lot impact for stability.

For Gigabyte P35 series mobo, there's TRD option in BIOS. TRD = Performance Level. So, high FSB you must loose the TRD.
I hope this can help you

ooo... i didn't notice tat in my boss's new DS3...

I'm not at home to test out my DS3 but I think the TRD option is hidden. In the main bios menu, just press Ctrl + F1, then go into the section for overclocking.

what's the suitable voltage to be set on vMCH? will +0.1v sufficient?

btw, when i set my fsb at 450MHz, my timing were 5-5-5-15.. still get that hardware failure error while orthosing (after 3 sec error)..

i don't think it's coz the ram, since if there's any problem with the ram, the pc will restarted terus.. that's what happen when i torture my ram too much.. the error i get is a rounding failure (saying expected must get 0.4 but then got 0.5.. some calculation thing during orthos.. calculation is cpu based rite?)

but i might be wrong too, im an inexperienced oc'er..

Try to read up on guides to overclocking the C2D.

It is advisable to find the limit of each component before you OC your whole rig. By this, I mean you have to find the max OC for your CPU, RAM and mobo(FSB) separately.

There are a lot of guides that teaches you on how to OC your CPU while taking the RAMs and FSB out of the equation. Also vice versa on the RAMS and mobo. Once you know the limit of each component, then it is easier to OC your whole rig while bearing in mind the limit of each component.

oooh... ur model is V-Class kar...? nevertheless... MSI sux...

tat kinda difficult cuz most hardware i see even same batch got diff limit...

BTW... wat does TRD do...?

sad,just found out, my board really locked vcore, there's no solution for it, sigh...
the only way i guess is changing board,really disappointed with MSI already

btw mine is 945pl
