WTA....Which Progam i best to stress stability

I'll have to agree with that... it's probably vCore too low.

Orthos and OCCT are the most aggressive. Hmm.. and read the pinned threads, they have good info

Hmm,not RAM problem? B'cuz when I have 2x512mb I'm runnit 2.75 ghz with no problem.(That's long time ago)

Orthos....haha...Orthos till bsod, too hot...btw, set priority to what is better ? i use 7 ? high?

Thanks, I'll try it after installing 3dmark For now, all I play is Dota.

calling other p35-ds3 rev1.0 & 2.0 user... other than bro kmarc

Call them for wat?

Ok ok, will update my bios this weekend, if not too lazy....

Thinking of going 4x1gb too....

lol... compare the vdimm in both bios & speedfan reading

4x1gb... you should go for Vista to see the power of 4gb ram

I see you're running the E6550 at 3.3Ghz @ 1.4v. Nice.

Why rams at 4-4-4-12? Can run 4-4-4-8 or maybe 4-4-4-4 ma......

4-4-4 will prime failed within 1 hour, now priming 5-5-5 @ 2.1v, but bios & speedfan reading is 2.0v only

Edit: during full load, the vcore is 1.34 & vdimm is 1.95~1.98v

[attachmentid=354467]

abit off topic, how much u guys get d crucial 10th annith? thinkin of gettin one pair if d price is cheaper than ballistix tracer alot.

Update

3.3GHz @ 1.4v, 472 @ 4-4-4-8, 2.2v

Edit: Full load vcore 1.34v & vdimm 2.0~2.05v

[attachmentid=354506]

btw, this is my first time break 1GHz in overclocking in these few years

What's your ambient temp ?

Nice one - time to get E6550 for myself too

erm... normal room temp. no air-cond

Shouldn't matter.

You can see the system temp in the BIOS ? mine is around 40c on hot days.. 33-35 on rainy days

This from the guy who can't afford a floppy drive ?

ya, around 40'c

Nice. Are you using stock CPU HSF? Why not increase the vcore? But then again, I'm also not running high vcore 24/7.....

Oh ya, some forumers did mentioned that "option 2" for the rams are better for crucial rams...... dunno whether this is true or not...

nope, same hsf as you increase the vcore? already pump to 1.4v

Hehe, didn't see your sig carefully...... I'm running mine at 1.425v. Reason for that is that from this vcore onwards, the gains in terms of mhz is less and less.... you know, the point of diminishing return.....

I was just kidding The E2140 would last me a while unless Mr. Catfight would sponsor or conditionally allow me to trade in for a better OEM CPU.

Well anyway, can you check something for me ? start memset and look at the memory frequency value. Does it change when you open and close programs or load web pages ? thanks

Sure sir
I've tried it, opening + closing some programs including browsers and the values doesn't change. Attach is the screenshot.

Mine keeps changing.. weird happens to the laptop too it's always 481.2 ? never changes at all ?

Hmm, another challenging one. By right it shouldn't change but what made it change?

Stock HSF can go that high??Huhuhu must try raising the voltage....

No worries. It's just the app. Use other programs and you'll see that the ram speed don't fluctuate.....



Nope. I'm using Xigmatek S1283. Stock HSF can't go that high.....

Anyway, since you're also using the E6750 @ 1.35v, try higher OC. The E6750 can go 3.2Ghz to 3.3Ghz at 1.35v (stock voltage). Check your temperature though....

Tried that but I got the BSOD in windows and error in 5 seconds using orthos...

Hmmmm...... you sure it is not due to other factors like the mobo settings or the ram settings?

Hmmm....ram timings set to auto...C1E and everything energy saving stuffs turned off...voltage stock....anything else I'm missing?

UPDATE: Okay right now I'm running on 400 FSB, stock voltage with MAX temp of 65C...is it normal? C1E and EIST were turned off....can I re enable them? One more thing, how to adjust my vdimm?Using F10 bios rite now...(NOOB questions)

Cool! The overclock, I mean. The temp is not so cool..... 65'c on what type of load? (What type of apps running)......

I guess it is ok if you max temp is around 60-65'c (for a stock HSF)......

Yeah, you can try to turn on C1E and EIST and see whether your rig is stable or not. If it is stable, then no problems running them.

Eh? Cannot adjust vdimm aaa? Make sure you press Ctrl+F1 when you're in the main bios page. After that, you'll get a whole lot of other options in M.I.T.....

my E6550 max. is 3.3GHz only... 3.4GHz cannot boot at all... thinking to get abit IP35-Pro or trade with my friend's P35-DS3P... so wasted as he use such high end mobo but no overclocking

hi, gonna overclock my processor and trying to find out which 1 of the below system memory multiplier should i choose initially, so that i know the max i can go with my cpu without being affected by memory. i know i should start with 1:1, but no idea which one...

2.00A
2.50A
3.00A
4.00A
2.00D
2.66D
2.00B
2.40B
3.20B
2.66C
3.33C
4.00C

thx

edit: my ram is Patriot pc2-9600

try out 2.00B

edited:and check when u are using 2.00A,the fsb izzit stuck at 440-450

when i selected both 2.00A and 2.00B, it's 533mhz.

Added on December 10, 2007, 12:54 pmmy windows restarted on it's own when i selected 2.00A, without even overclocking my q6600!! wth??

---

Added on December 10, 2007, 1:02 pmhad to set the memory multiplier to "Auto" in order to start windows normally...

---

Added on December 10, 2007, 3:43 pmreset everything and started with 2.00D, with cpu 286x9, so far no prob

btw, what's the usual/max overclocked speed for q6600 without increasing cpu voltage? 333x9=3Ghz?

IP35-Pro is veli expensive bro... if ur not goin for x-fire, why not get a blood iron?

oc is a hobby which makes ppl dig their wallet to d max, love it but hate it at d same time...

Owhhh,65C when running Orthos bro...Cpu load at 100%...yeah I think the latest bios got something wrong coz when I pressed ctrl+f1, nothing happens!!Everything is still the same!!The Vdimm only got normal,+0.1,+0.2 etc. However, when I set the Vdimm to normal, it will automatically set to 2.1v!!dang!! And U know what, when I set it to +0.1, it will be set as 1.9v....weird coz the ram stock vdimm should be 1.9v not 2.1v....

I have the same problem. When I set +0.4 in BIOS, software in Windows only report 2.05V

yup, same as mine. yours is rev1.0 or 2.0 ?

Rev 2.0 and the latest BIOS is F5 right?

nope, F10

Yeah, that's the problem with the E6550 with lower CPU multiplier. You need a good mobo to get higher bus speed......



No, when you pressed Ctrl+F1 in the main bios page, the additional options are in the M.I.T page, not the main bios page.

Don't set the vdimm to normal then. Default vdimm is 1.8v. So if you set it to default + 0.1v, the vdimm would be 1.9v, which is correct....

What the?!
I don't see F10 in Gigabyte's homepage. Where is it available?

lol.. not sure which mobo you using now... but I'm referring to the p35-ds3

Yup!!That's what I did....really weird...

Yeah guys...newest bios for P35 DS3 is F10...

Clocked my E6750 3.4ghz on P35-DS3L mobo last nite...
Run Orthos overnite..
Cant go 3.6ghz.. got a "FAILED" value at DDR18V in bios PC Health Status... Why ah..?

if i'm not mistaken, vdimm too high...

yes...too high but based on normal standard...with right cooling, u can ignore the notification...like my mobo, when i set the vdimm at +0.5v (2.3v) got same thing also...just be sure u have active cooling for the ram...

vdimm..?? i didnt increase the value.. it on default value..

guys, is it enough to get P35 DS3,want to oc my E4400 to 3.0ghz? thnxx
