@contre..
just take out the proc and give it to me, ill push it to the limits

Yes you can bro. Any procs now can be OC-ed given the stepping is right and u can find the right board for it

Guys, juz changed my stock Intel HSF to TR Ultra 120 Extreme...coupled with Tuniq TX-2 and CM 12" Silent LED fan....my question is, is it normal for my OCed to 3.2Ghz proc to idle @40C and full load @54C for this type of cooler?

What's your Vcore? I get 33C-35C idle and load can be 60C with IFX-14.

yup, it's quite normal. my e6550 oc to 3.3GHz @ 1.37v, s1283 + fan running @ fullspeed + as5, full load is 54~56'c

woot... upgraded to dfi board ledi ar bro?

once a dfi fans, always a dfi fans...

how's d performance?

same speed at lower vcore & previous ram running 472 @ cl5 but now able to run cl4 with prime stable.

but i think 3.3GHz is the max for this E6550, maybe hit the fsb wall.

1.35v only bro...seems a bit high to me la... Is it the fan not powerful enough?

1 more thing, I tried to clock my proc to 3.4Ghz juz now but to no avail...already raised the vcore to 1.36v but failed orthos in 25 secs...any sifus here can help me?

hi all, i quite new in oc world and i need some help in my rig.
i have oc my proc to 3.2 (400 x8). But i planning to go higher, izit possible for me to increase more??
and my voltage is quite high around 1.45v for 3.2Ghz. But i set auto in my bios.
any recommendation for my rig??
i using e6750, gigabyte mobo GA-P35-DS4, 4GB ram PC2-6400 (400Mhz) Corsair Ram and winfast 8600 GTS 256mb.

I Also Want To Learn Some OC Ability Here..



Who Willing To Teach Me ?

1Question.

OC Burnt Mobo Or Processor Confirmed No Warranty?

hmm i was wondering how this would fair in this forum. A little noob OC from me.

Perhaps you need more Vcore and 1.36V is very little compared to mine - 1.5V

Wow, my boss wants to OC?
You can go buy lottery if you manage to burn the hardware under normal circumstances. It's just like striking lottery - not easy to do

@Izwan
u would want to get a better fan than your CM coz Cm fans are bling2 not performance. So its crap/ Having a big cooler like TR doesnt mean that it can be cool either, the fan plays a major role in this type of system, so does the thickness of the pipes/

From 3.2Ghz onwards, you need to increase your vcore some more. Probably 1.375-1.400v to get 3.4Ghz..... See my sig, need 1.425v to get to 3.5Ghz.....

Was thinking of writing a simple guide to OCing the C2D..... last time I wrote a few but mod didn't think it was useful..... so I stopped....

@Kmarc
certain boards cant do Vcore's as low as yours. Like mine, i had to pump 1.40V + onwards for 3.36Ghz onwards.

I know. OC also depends on the PC components. Was just telling Izwan898 that he needs to increase the vcore a bit more to get higher mhz....

@kmarc..
ya i know bro i also tried your settings lol. my board miserably failed

Eh? But you're using E2140 wor.......

These E21x0 series CPUs are really great overclockers!

Oic.. Low Chance Right?

I Done My Rig, I Will Pm You For Teach Me To OC..

Mind To Teach Me ? SiFu

@seamonster

bro claw claw is a very kind soul la. He will teach you all the secrets

Walaooo juz OCed my cpu to 3.4Ghz juz now...but it's true la guys...need 1.4v for the vcore n 2.1v for the vdimm...so high lor...

Hahaha juz used the crappy bling² CM fan for temporary use only...in the mean time still looking good fan with high RPM n airflow but quiet...thinkin of getting AllnGap fans but they're pretty expensive...

I'm using around 1.48-1.5V for daily usage. Since I've invested on a good cooler, I just have to make good use of it

1.4V is not high man i did some OC at the Vcore range of 1.45V to 1.55V. BUt not to forget, your GayGayByte board is a 6-phaser, so i believe the Vcore needed to pump to 3.4Ghz is lower. I had to pump around 1.45V i think to get your speed. After 3.6Ghz on the E6750, in which i used 1.5V, i was scared.

y dun u teach me how to do it???coz i'm in US now...haha my processor is not exact 2.0 core 2 duo...kena con LOL

well i can teach you... only online la. And also my little limited knowledge on overclocking wont really help that much. hehe. Look at my OC lor, still noob at it.

I see...so what's the safe max OC for my rig?Intending to OC for 24/7 use guys...

Since you're using a good 3rd party CPU HSF, you can OC higher without worrying too much about the temperature. Just keep your CPU temp below 60'c.....

No safe max OC vcore as any OC (or even without OC!) is a risk...... probably up to 1.40-1.45v would be considered less risky.....

yalah, i had an e6750 before this leh. Then i give up on that proc and got the darling e2140 my new love hehe.

Thanks bro!!Gonna get my cpu running at 3.4Ghz but first thing first is changing the crappy CM fan... Anyway, I've set my cpu temp warning @ 60C in BIOS but when I ran Orthos, coretemp shows my temps were 61C n no beep or warning whatsoever came from my pc speaker...anyhoo, GGByte's Easytune5 shows my temps were 45C...which one to trust?Aiyoo till now dunno la!!

Core Temp should be more accurate.

with e6750, coretemp is pretty accurate.. dun use third party stuff supported by the mobo company. Most of the time they r really inaccurate. What you have to look out for, is the TJunction value, make sure its 100, i believe that the e6750 is always 100.

But if they're accurate, why it's not beeping when it passed 60C? Coz I already set my warning temps in BIOS was 60C....

Yeah my proc's TJunction value is 100C....

coz i believe that orthos has a pre set temperature which overides the bios when it runs the test.

I can't seem to get the beep working on my DS3L previously too. Maybe other Gigabyte users can share to see if it works.

Yeah bro...hope there's other users can confirm this...or is it only us active in here?

the general rule is that if u r overclocking, at most you need to have the proc lower than 70 degrees centigrade. Then u r safe. thats normally my benchmark for oc. <70.

Mr. kucingfight uses the same board. A few others are active too so hopefully they'll respond.

http://forum.lowyat.net/index.php?showtopic=612986&hl=

MOBO p965 s3 rev 3.3 f12 bios gigabyete
winfast 8800gt 512 normal
ram team value 667
xm xtreme 430
proc e2140 M0

i think i read it sum where here how to fix
but i at libary now so can surf freely so i think
tonite i come 2 libary again
check feedback

ok i put 7600gt no problem at all when oc to 3 gig
summore when i oc with 88gt inside.....it always keep
reset the bios becoz the oc is not stable
while i have use 3 gig for daily use for bout 2 week with 7600gt

pal33x, you need to change ur PSU or you will cry seeing ur hardware faulty one-by-one

Guys, what do set for Robust Graphic Booster??Mine on Auto n juz now played COD4 but the temps went to a whooping 93C!!!Aiya!!

guys, if i can run my E6400@ 3.2ghz Bios set 1.28v

wats the voltage i need 2 feed my proc so i can get past 4Ghz - 4.4 possible? coz i cant with 1.4v n dun dare 2 go more....

at 3.2Ghz max core temp running orthos 59C (Xigma HDT 1283)

btw, my rams not a prob can go past 550Mhz

ur greedy mate, even a good e6750 need hell of voltage to do that (4GHz), let alone e6400 which is not as good as d previous...

It has nothing to do with the bios settings. Make sure your 8800GT's fan is not running at stock e.g. 29%. Set it higher e.g. 50-60%, like what most forumers do.....






Ya lor, don't be so greedy ma.....

For overclocking, the amount of mhz you can get doesn't go hand in hand with the amount of increased vcore. This means that at lower OC, you will need only a bit of overvolting. When you OC higher than that, you'll find that you need to increase the vcore much much more to gain that little bit of mhz......

Bottom line, I always go for a setup where higher OC results in diminishing returns, if you get what I mean.....

What Will Happen If He Go For It?
Processor Or Mobo Will Burn?

Or Just PC AutoRestart?

Added on January 18, 2008, 2:55 pmA Good Mobo Will Auto Cut Off Once Overload?

so far i have never killed a chip due to overvoltage, so it's kinda lucky if ur manage to do so. be it intel or amd have d thermal protection thingy so if too much voltage causin high temp d mobo or chip will automatically shutdown d system.

for me, a good mobo do what exactly u want it to do, be it undervoltage or overvoltage.

I've mentioned before that it's not easy to kill a processor if you're doing things right. Unless you purposely do things to kill it

guys dun say la i greedy, who is not?....hehe

btw, i notice almost every1 here has a better proc than mine n i jz wanna hav some fun around wif some OCs

so i'll try a bit harder this time........hopefully wont burn anything

Forgive Me, A Big Noob Here..

Since So Many PPl Playing OC, So I'm Poisoned And Might Go For It..
But I Need To Do Some Review And Get Some Information From U Guys ( PRO ) So That I Can Aviod Those Bad Trouble.

"Unless you purposely do things to kill it "

Mean It Will Die Also Right? If Without Any Advise And I Just Simply OC It..

Maybe I Killed It Coz I'm Noob..

Risky.. Really Need Advise Before I Go Ahead..

Bro better do some research first...ur rig so expensive n high end one...u don't want nothing happen to it rite....

But ur rig already a good overclocker bro...

having a good OC rig doesnt mean it will OC well. Smonster needs to learn how to OC from one of the pinned threads to make full use of that system of his.

Ya, I Don't Want Take Risk To My Rig..

I Will Cry If Really Bad Trouble..
