Hey guys, just wondering, for P45 mobo with Q9550,

is NB voltage = 1.4v normal/safe?

or does it really depend on the temp? if so, what temps do you guys prefer for NB when OCing?

I googled, many of the results I found stated that 1.4v is normal for the OC'er. But I also still want our own Malaysian people's opinion.

I always put NB voltage between 1.1v to 1.3v, if over so scarely hehe . If your NB had better cooling maybe u can try 1.4v, just look-out for the temperature.

what the NB temp value that's safe for you? hehe

I always use hand touch the NB chips, if cannot handle over then 5 second, i will consider it over temp hehe

I see. easy to follow then. hehe. thanks.

Haha.. nice guide.. Will try to overclock mine even further to fold.
Currently if fold with 3.2 ghz, it will bsod once i wake up or back from work =( Most probably the NB heat is over since I cant even touch it for 3 sec

my laptop noise make some electric noise when clock at normal speed unless i underclock it

Toshiba Satelite A200 , Intel core2duo T5300 @ 1.73ghz

any helps would be appreciate,thxs

aww so great... this thread still alive. ..A lot good memories here.

Hi guys, I new in Overclocking C2D, below is is my progress.
When i run stress test 2 hours, suddenly Temperature TMPIN2 show, is it normal? TMPIN2 doesn't appear when idle. What is actually TMPIN2?



CPU : C2D E7400 (2.8Ghz Stock Clock)
Cooler : Thermalright ultra 120 extreme + 120mm CM 90cfm
CPU clockspeed : 3.507ghz (334 x 10.5)
Motherboard : Gigabyte GA-EP45-UD3L
RAM model : WINOVA DDR2 800 CL6 (2GB x 2)
RAM speed : 800mhz,6-7-7-19

Overclock 3.507Ghz (334 x 10.5) HWM, CPU-Z and AIDA64


Stress test 3.507Ghz (2 hours) using Prime95


Please guide me to achieve 3.8Ghz

i think that TMPIN2 is chipset temp...
try increase a bit your fsb. if got bsod, pump more vcore. but i'd suggest you to keep the vcore below 1.4V. you can oso try set the ram to lower multi to find the highest clock for proc within 1.4vcore.

Thanks for the info, i will give it a try.

Hi there OC Sifus , I have just been learning to OC and this is my OC test machine before i move on to my SB build. Just want some opinion on the Vcore ( which i set to auto ) . Been running Prime95 for 9 hours now , goin for 12 hours. The Temp are ok i think . But perhaps , u guys with much more exp can give some better opinion this. Thank you. I hope i'm on the right thread.

Thank you in advance.

Nice info!i've been trying to overclock my pc but i'm afraid it will fry it.

currently using Prime95.

It's an extremely safe temperature
I'd said it is fine to go up to 95 C on IBT
Don't worry since real world load won't be as stressful as IBT

Nice . U have the same proc? Good luck bro


Thank you bro , Btw , i got my Vcore lowered. Its now running 3.5Ghz @ Vcore 1.32 . Run prime95 for almost 12 hours. And everything was fine. ( Max Temp around 58C on 100% )
Was trying to push it at 3.8Ghz but failed. So i guess 3.5Ghz will be enough . ( Try again next week @3.6Ghz. Tried 2 hours ago on prime95 and its good at Vcore 1.34. Will run again next week XD )
Thank you for the clarification

Cant wait to get my hand on SB. Still looking for ram.

Hello everyone,

a serious noob here. been reading guides and all but still don't understand the oc-ing terms. Hope the sifus can enlighten me.
Thinking to just go a little further than my stock clock. maybe 3.5ghz? Main confusion is all the 'playing' with fsb / vcore.
and also ratio of dram?? @!$!$omfg headache lol

anyway, here are my pc specs.

QX9650 - stock is 3.0ghz
Asus p5q SE
Corsair Dominator DDR2 1066mhz 2 x 2gb
Cooler Master V8.

Appreciate every1 hu helps

hello

i have a problem with my cpu temp
i stress test my cpu using prime95 but the temp didn't change at all
it stayed at 41c
what is the problem? hardware problem?
pls help
tq

Hey guys ,

I wanna know if i can push my core 2 duo e6320 1.86ghz to 3.7ghz or above

This is my spec :

Intel Core 2 Duo 1.86GHz ( Overclocked to 2.86Ghz ) 400fsb limit 700fsb
4GB DDR2 RAM
Cooler Master USP 100
450 Aztech PSU
Cooler Master Hyper 212 Plus
ATI HD5450 1GB DDR3
MSI G31TM-P31

I am able to push my overclock to 2.86GHz right now with the graphic card also get overclocked using the 450W PSU ..
My cpu temp is 25 degree celsius and my gpu is 36 degree celsius .... my room temp is about 26 degree celsius ( without air conditioner )

So right now i wonder if i buy a 600W PSU ,Can i overclock above 3.7Ghz ?

And also ,

How to make gpu and cpu more cooler ? , i can't afford to buy stuff above rm200 .... so right now , i'm keep pushing using this pc until i get money and buy new pc .....

If you guys have any idea on modding my pc component ,kindly give a suggestion ....

please ,no bad comment ... i'm still new in this ....
