He wanted an OC to 3.6GHz and that was one of my suggestion. Unless he has stated he wanted above 3.6GHz then of course 1:1 would be better.

Anyway, best to increase FSB, RAM speed AND overall CPU speed. Good luck cschun86.

Here is it,
the setting is

Vcore: 1.45V (bios), 1.39V (2 x orthos stress)
Vdimm: 2.1V
CPU clock : 356mhz x 9 (3.2Ghz)
the screenie below~

sorry, have to use link coz i am using 24" monitor,
the print screen size is too big,
if I resize, it will be blur...

and mine cant go 3.6Ghz...
duno why
tried at fsb:dram @ 1:1
9 x 400 and 8 x 450 @ Vcore = 1.6V (bios)
both also hang in windows...

sorry wrong statement

Can't really say what's holding your OC but 1.6V is abit too high.

ya, i know it is high,
I also wondering which is holding mine OC at 3.6ghz...
sigh...

actually i just use stock HSF, and my temp just 49'C. im surprise with it.

[attachmentid=385332]

Try a more relaxed RAM timings, increase some of those MCH, ICHIO, etc voltages.
Which point did it hang? Can it pass Super PI?

increase MCH, ICHIO +0.1V
ram timing already loose to 5-5-5-15 d,
point hang when loading antivirus and ATI tray icon

but mine is l2 stepping...

Try disabling the programmes that causes your pc to hang. Did you pass orthos/prime95?

@iman

highlight the "most" in my sentence. Did not tell you all have it. By the way what version of Core temp do you have?

3.6ghz totally not stable,
3.2ghz already passed 9 hours double orthos stress...

Maybe not enough vdimm? Happened to me last time...set it @2.0V and always hang in windows....raised it to 2.1V, voila!!!

now already set to 2.1V wor,
wana go futher arh?

core temp latest version...0.96.1

yup...noted most...but bit fairly confused why my l2 stepping got tjunc at 100...

Dunno...but before this, I keep failing orthos when set @ 3.4Ghz...out of frustration, I set the voltages on AUTO n voila!!No more crashes n hang ups....so I juz set my voltage according the settings auto set by the bios n keep lowering it until u lost the stability...that's my running voltage now...at first, BIOS auto set to 1.425 n now I'm running juz 1.41875, stable.....

So I think u should try auto first n see from there if u need more vdimm...

you should have runned dividers and see what the max the rams can do first on what voltage and timings

anyway, try +0.2 mch and +0.2fsb and +0.1 pcie

works for some people

forgot to mention the NB needs to be cooled, use your hand to touch it

Added on January 24, 2008, 4:28 amand tRD (aka performance level in memset 3.3 and above) in bios needs to be set at 12 to eliminate if it is the cause of the problems

whoa lunn ley

the NB is hot even when i am clocking to 3.2Ghz,
now waiting the Thermalright HR-05 SLi/ IFX to arrive,
then only see how far it can go...

Same problem here. CoreTemp is reading the Tjunction as 100 on both my L2 E2140 and E2160, same install of windows though, updated to 0.96.1 from my previous 0.96 also the same. Guess you are not alone in this "problem"

new pc spec :

intel core 2 duo E6550
OCZ gold edition ddr2 800 1gbx2
gigabyte GA-p35-DS3 (rev2.1)


OC result:

Nice... welcome to the 2000MHz FSB(Quad pumped) club

all running at stock except the vdimm at 2.3v...opps a bit too high. hehe

Are you sure your E6550 is running at stock vcore? If it is, you have a very very very rare proc there. However, I think your mobo is auto-overvolting the proc......

Anyway, 500mhz bus speed is a good OC. Is it stable?

nah

it is at stock vcore. hehe.

Errr.... core temp is only showing you the VID, and not the actual vcore.

Run easytune5, and see what is the vcore AT LOAD. Alternatively, you can use CPU-z......

What's your core temp at load?

core temp at load is 60c with stock intel HSF.. hehe

Stress it with a stress program e.g. Orthos, OCCT..... if it is stable, than you have a gem proc!

hmm try super pi32M, then go on to OCCT for 30 minutes after that orthos prime for a finite amount of time.. this should prove your proc to be stable..

by the way, OCCT has a bug with the 1 hour test, it hangs.. anyones faced it?

m stil confused and googling is not helping either...

nice proc btw, what's the week production for this proc?

The author of Core Temp might have missed out correcting L2 E2xxx as Tjunction 85. You can send him an email.

Juts bought E8200, EP35-DS3.
Able to push to 3.6 easily and beleive push up to 4Ghz. Will get better mobo cooling and better ram.

Your PC not stable, that's why OCCT hanged! Anyway, I had ran the 1 hour test many times, and no hangs so far...

Wah, sure a nice proc. Tried orthos ?

realone, I think you should stress your CPU with Orthos or whatever that others suggested. I was supremely happy with my E6550 when I could set its FSB at 535MHz last time. But, when I stress it...dead in less than a minute. After spending a very long time to fine tune my OC, it finally comes at 500MHz in an aircon room with both CNPS9700NT and Ultima90i. It could go 503MHz but I just like to round things up In normal room temperature, I set it back to 480MHz just as precaution even though it ran fine at 500MHz as well. My vCore was 0.1v more than default for 500MHz and 0.08v for 480MHz. vDroop was high at 0.04v if I'm not mistaken.

Precisely and a Super PI screenshot is more like for fun It doesn't mean that thing runs stable and we can't enjoy that kind of speed daily.

hmmmm all p965 owner of ds3 rejoice....it seem like ds3 p965 is supporting 45nm...without guarantee though,here is some bios update from gigabyte..check for other version also,and remember which revision is your board.


http://www.giga-byte.com/Support/Motherboa...?ProductID=2314

no la, i used 30 minutes and its fine, explain to me how can it hang on stock volts running at 1.6Ghz and ram below 667Mhz

Better get Xigmatek lor.

join koc team at uia gombak lor,huhu

why need xigmatek if just use stock HSF also not ever touch 55'?

Hmm... Then maybe your proc is too slow for OCCT, it can't keep up with OCCT's instructions and fell down... Hanged lo

Anyway, my current RAMs are holding me back from OC, can Hynix FP-Y5 take 2.2volts? I think someone asked a question like this not long ago, but I forgotten who liao.

@dream
ur funny boy. Anyways, yes it can, u can go up to 2.35-2.4V, still can Its only up to you

@bulanar
yes u can do promotions elsewhere. Not a KOC fan here. Too much publicity. I prefer underground setups.

any ds4 user here? especially for P35. Im using DS3 with dual fan and the temp max load at 40c (500FSB) without aircond.
I dont like the temp, wanna decide if I should go for DS4.

Wa...might as well go for DQ6 BTW, did you replace the thermal paste of your North and Southbridge with a high performance one?

hmmm, i have plans to go fot x48 dq6 but not now.
pocket got big hole edi. didnt dare to open the southbridge yet.
maybe will try to change to tx2 soon.

Asus is coming out with a DDR2 version of X48. Nice move I must say. But if only they support both DDR2 & 3. That'll be a worthwhile upgrade.

I dont think we need ddr3 at the moment. Intel solution are always damn expensive. Haih...
