Try realtemp,that is the most accurate temp reading application for wolfdane.

coretemp vs realtemp.

o_o a difference of about 10 degrees.

thats at vcore 1.25.. Mmm.

btw. how come my bios settings is 1.25v but my cpuz shows me less? around 1.8-1.2?

The reason the difference is 10 degrees is because the Tjunction Max is different. Core temp sets it at 105'c while real temp sets it at 95'c. Why? That's because nobody knows what the actual Tjunction are for these CPUs as Intel doesn't reveal them......

The "Distance to TJMax" would be the most accurate temperature indicator, to tell you how far you are from the max core temperature before throttling.

You can display that in core temp too. Just go to the settings and select the "Delta to TJMax".

CPUz's vcore is lower due to vdrop and vdroop....

Overclocking settings
==============
CPU Clock Ratio = 8x
CPU Hos Frequency =380
PCI Express Frequency = 100
System Memory Multiplier (Spd) =2.00
CPU Voltage Control = 1.40000v

3DMarks06 test settings
===============
Resolution = default 1280x1024
AA = None
Filtering = Optimal

3DMarks06 test results
===============
11,967 3dmarks
sm2.0 score = 5662
sm3.0 score = 5450
CPU Score = 2683

The question is why my CPU1 and CPU2 Red Valley tests ran extremely slow (both scored 0.84 FPS and 1.35 FPS respectively). Something wrong?

Haha, totally normal. Your CPU score is normal. It should only scores around 1-2 FPS.

Btw, try to increase your bus speed to 400Mhz. The E6750 can do 400Mhz bus speed at stock voltage. The current voltage you pumped in is kinda high for only 380Mhz bus speed.

as sky said, you can go ahead to 3.2Ghz (400*8) on stock voltage.. It would improve your performance significantly. And your rams too, if you can tighten the timings.

I see, thanks for the info!

Added on March 23, 2008, 10:09 amAfter overcloked to 3.2MHz, i got new 3Dmarks score:

3Dmarks06 score = 12,160
sm2 = 5,721
sm3 = 5,454
CPU = 2,806

Another question; i use AquaMark3 to test my system few days ago, and the Triscore results:

GFX = 27,936
CPU = 13,857
Score = 139,131

Now after upgraded the Vista Home Premium 32bit with SP1 and overclocking the processor i got lower results:

GFX = 18,432
CPU = 15,233
Score = 114,838

Why is that?

maybe its due to the apps level and the amount of bandwidth the apps take? that gives you lower results

i'm experiencing random hanging with my e6600...

Anyone tried F13a and F3b BIOS for P35-DS3/EP35-DS3 yet?

Same as above, anyone Tried the F11 bios for DS3L, I knew it was build for DS4, but just wondering if it can be used for DS3L.

Or should i just stick with F7? or F8a/b?

Please advice.. since had several report on differend forum, F7 bios on DS3L not that friendly with Crucial Ballistix Tracer DDR2.

Bios F11 : http://drivers.softpedia.com/get/BIOS/Giga...-BIOS-F11.shtml

http://processorfinder.intel.com/details.aspx?sSpec=SLAPL

1.3625 volts is the upper range for 45nm procs...although they scale well with voltage, but anything above intel's range is probably gonna accelerate processor degration.

sold my e8400... going for q6700... 65nm still rocks eh?...

Hurms I have problem OC my E4400 over 399Mhz FSB, maybe hit FSB Wall??
Currently using Gigabyte P35-DS3 Rev 1.0 F12 BIOS, Arctic Cooling Freezer 7 Pro, Acbel iPower 450W..
Max OC With 1.6Vcore

Maybe you can set your RAM 1:1 then try again

hai..i'm using gigabyte p965 ds3..hot to set memory timing in bios?coz i only found the multiplyer (spd)...
thx..



problem solved...

Hi guys,noob questions here :

Whats the different between E6300 1.86Ghz 1066 2MB Cache With E6320 1.86Ghz 1066 4MB Cache??

TQ.

cache difference of course... more cache = better...

Yeah,TQ.
But the FSB i can always change if o over clocked it right?

yeap... u can change the fsb..

how to oc..can anyppl teach me???

go to this page... http://forum.lowyat.net/topic/625156

thank you..

girl overclocker... waaa ~~

Hi guys...need some advice here...OCed my proc to 475 FSB stable but when increased to 500 FSB, it gives me BSOD when loading windows...it remains unstable although I have increased both my vcore n vdimm to 1.32v and 2.2v...do I have to increase the NB voltage or vcore still not enough?

i guess ur vcore is too low for 4.2ghz.... ur proc can do how much on stock vcore?

4.2Ghz?It's 500 fsb bro so it should be 4Ghz...my proc able to do 3.6Ghz with stock vcore...looking forward to run it 4Ghz 24/7...but still trying...I don't think it's the proc or mobo...maybe my ram...dunno lah... need to check more...

Eeeh...500FSB on stock vcore can be consider as a super duper chip already.What is the FPO of it?My Q806A227 fail Orthos@1.425v,446x9.

uik here is my chance..
i can teach u.. kekekeke

oh crap phenom.. sorries cant teach u that proc..

eh...silap read i tot u are 475x9=4.2ghz

seems like u have the same proc like mine then...

mine can do stable at 1.38v 500x8=4.0ghz without touching other settings on gaygaybyte which have bad vdroop

so u might as well try that settings as i think ur ram is good enuf la to do 1000mhz 5-5-5-15 la...but do make sure u pump enuf vdimm though...

Hehe bro u misunderstood me lah...3.6Ghz only on stock vcore lah brooo... ....mine Q748A095...owh, I used multiplier 8 since I heard it's better but cannot go beyond 3.8Ghz...There's something wrong so any sifu here can tell me?NB voltage or McH maybe?

Added on April 1, 2008, 8:00 pmAnyone can help?And 1 more, why my mobo got double boot problem?Is it normal?

so can teach me about p4 3.0ghz??

Get vmch up.Stock vmch voltage is good for up to 440 or so.

Vmch?how much need to increase?(noob questions sorry)

bro....when i startup my computer i haf a few beep sound....wats tat suppose to mean? error ar?? wat kinda of error and how to fix it? its kinda irritating though....the sound.....

They are error codes. Maybe you can check on the manual what it means.

what mobo can go higher than 500fsb?
my p35 ds3 cant go any higher than 500fsb..

DFI DK

i heard foxconn mars is not bad either....

anyways.. my previous ds3 also stuck at 500 fsb

foxconn mars is good... i got read the review at PC gamer magazine april !!!

hehehe..i know la u got dfi edi..
i`ll reconsider that one..
and bro..anyproblem when u install ur xigmatek on that board?
did it touch any heatspeader near to it?
if not..sure i target this one leh..~



this board ok..but haha..dunno why,i dislike the design..hahaha

Cheapest one will be IP35E

erm to install xigmatek on that mobo is kinda hard if u want it to exhaust rearwards... u will have to bend a few fins as the HSF will hit the NB heatsink...

but i sayang want to bend the fins... so i just install it exhaust upwards since my cm690 got exhaust fan at the top

im thinking to get same case as u too..
so like that need wait again la..

hello OCers..
im just getting started to overclocking..
im using Gigabyte GA-P35-DS3 mobo + Intel C2D e6750..

i dont really know how to OC my proc.. all i know is EasyTunePro 5 has the feature to OC my proc.. shd i just do it frm there?
what are the other things i need to take into consideration?

thanks

You can check out my guide on overclocking. I was using the same CPU/mobo when I wrote the guide.....

thanks to kmarc's beginners guide to OCing and also guides from vincentlaw,
i finally tested my first OC skills this evening..

the results..
3.4ghz, 425mhz x 8, 1.375v
core temp average at 58c for 3 hours on Orthos

critics & comments are welcomed

hrm.. I want to oc too, but worry got some instability problems.. and I know it will definitely wear my pc components faster.. but normally if oc instable increase voltage abit but be carefull and take small steps and not leap.. eg. 1.4v to 1.41v.. safe way happy oc-ing

Hurm..
Let say im using q6600+ep35 ds3/p35 ds3...
Can overclock without cooling system??

If you're stressing the proc, make sure you use the "Small FFT - stress CPU" option rather than the "Blend test" in orthos.

That's a nice OC.... last time, my E6750 was running 24/7 @ 3.5Ghz @ 1.425v (set in Bios).... (Not a gem proc....)



You mean using stock HSF? You can overclock but it will be limited by the temperature. Keep you core temperature around 60-65'c.....
