some question here.. i bought my new parts.. E7300 stock cool+ Gigabyte GA EP43-DS3L.. 2GB kingston Ram 800mhz.. 9600GT Zotac..CM460 watt power supply..

my problem is y whenever i do system stressing my pc will freeze there? prime95 super hang.. IBT sometimes can and sometimes cant.. shud i dun care bout this?? hmm.. or is this kind of test is only suitable for OC machines?? =.= then maybe im a noob.. i never OC my machine.. =.=

How much did you overclock and what kind of voltage did you set? Is it too hot? You can use Prime or Orthos, they work fine.

nope.. i never OC.. running on stock hsf.. Prime fail like hell.. the moment it start it freezes... sighs..

adding vcore shud help... if it doesnt, then add a lil bit more vdimm

Why add voltage to stock clock speed? Isn't it something to worry about if it isn't stable at all with stock settings?

sign of a dying proc?

how about your temp?

oppss....my bad my bad...i didnt saw it was stock settings

Check your heatsink. See if you got it seated properly. Pushpin design really is a nightmare.

at last.. send it back all the way to cycom.. sighs.. =( the main suspect is still the mobo..

Im trying to overclock my QX6800 with my new set of desktop components as shown below :

PROC: INTEL QX6800 @2.93Ghz SLACP
MOBO : Biostar TP43-HP
PSU: Gigabyte SuperB 720W
HDD: Seagate 500GB 32MB
RAM: 2 x corsair XMS2 DDR2 800Mhz

im totally new in overclocking, it will be glad if someone can guide me a bit or tell me where to start as i intended to take my QX6800 to 3.2-3.5 Ghz without any risky adjustment (if possible blush.gif ) cause i heard that rising the CPU voltage will somehow shortened the life span of the Processor itself.

i've went through some of the article from " Fundamentals of Overclocking, NEWBIES PLS READ THIS BEFORE POSTING " but most of the URL aren't valid anymore so i have no idea where should i start from.

i knew a little bit of how FSB and multiplier works from here URL :Q8200 vs Q6600 if going ....
but still sweat.gif , i have no idea what value of FSB and multiplier should i use to get to 3.2-3.5Ghz for this QX6800

Any pro mind to guide me a bit in this matter coz i really want to get myself into OC'ing and hope that i can be one of those OC Pros out there one day thumbup.gif

To make things easier for the pros to review on QX6800, here are some of the features :


Processor name : Intel Core 2 Extreme QX6800
Form factor : LGA775
Manufacturing process :65nm
Physical cores : 4
Inst. per clock* : 4
Pipeline stages : 14
Clock speed : 2.93GHz
FSB : 266MHz (1066MHz QDR)
HyperThreading : No
Memory support : DDR2, 800MHz, DC
L1 cache total : 128KiB data + 128KiB code
L2 cache total : 8MiB
ISA : x86, x86-64, SSE-SSE3
TDP : 130W
Transistors : 582m
Operating voltage : 1.2-1.3625V

refer to the links in this thread.... it is the basic

thanks

It restarts.. no blackout.. now stable at 285x11. vcore 1.392v.

since it is extreme, just increase the multiplier

my q9650 hehe ....

@loonaltezza
nice temp there, sunbeam CCF?

yup !! very good cooler !!

yea , with aircon and closed case?

yup close case .. cm690 cooler master

is this a good result ??
