Testing my latest DFI LP JR P45 with E8400@5ghz 

ya.. mostly 3.8ghz or below... mine doing 3.6ghz on 1.325v...

if wan real powerr oc go for Q9600 E0 steppings... 4ghz no problem i think, provided got good mobo

well i can only do 480fsb stable with my IP35P

hello overclocker bros..i would like to ask one thing..
i just got E8200 from seamonster bro..hmm i know E8200 usually can get around 3.8ghz stable, and 4Ghz kinda hard..but u know, the excitement when u got stable 4Ghz..lol i wanna try 4Ghz stable..but i cant get..

according to this fella..

E8200 3.92Ghz stock cooler..

is it 800Mhz RAM will stuck some oc ability..since he used 1066Mhz RAM, it looks like he is damn easy get 3.92Ghz stable using stock cooler..haih jealous jeaolus..since i'm using Big Typhoon TT, i still cant get 4Ghz stable..so do i need to buy 1066Mhz RAM to get 4Ghz++?

RAM - Team Elite 800 Mhz
Mobo - MSI P45 Neo2-FR bios v3.2

this is my latest stable overclocking of E8200 3710Mhz



thx in advance..and happy new year 

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

yup !! very good cooler !!   

anyone know what is the best air cooler right now??
i want something better than CCF

i got a question regarding ocing..  i dun understand y i cant even pass streesing test when i oc.. im not doing heacy oc.. OCCT,prime..all fail me.. IBT sometimes can pass.. super PI pass.. does dat mean my machine is not stable?? i just newly bought for 1months++ only.. lol

my specs, hope sifus will help..

C2D E7300 cooled by Deepcool ice balde pro, Gigabyte ep43 mobo, zotac 9600gt, 2x2gb kingston hyper X 1066mhz, cm extreme power 460watts, 80GB pata HDD (very old Hdd)

my settings are 7.5 x 400 = 3.0mhz,ram freq=533. dramcpu ratio 3:4
pcie=100mhz
vcore=1.3000v
vdimm=1.9v

i suspect is either my hdd fail me for being too old or my psu not enuff to stablise my pc.. i hope to get an answer so im not lost

and 3dmark06 i pass wif 10k and above mark..lol

so to simplify it does u mean this?
7.5x400
ram freq i tune it back to 400mhz instead of 533mhz?
vcore to stock? even i up my muti and fsb?
vdimm put how much?

@albert and uzairi..yea im planning to get 1 later lor.. now tvery tight budget..

Still it's rare to get instability if the proc are in stock speed and ram under it's default timing.

uzairi and heng.. woot! i took ur advise to set ratio to 1:1.. pass occt! super PI 1mb 17seconds.. nice!

stock vcore,vdimm 2v =)

Question:
My Q6600 currently is running at 400x8 @ 1.375v.
When I run Prime95 for Small FFTs, it brings no error for half an hour.
But when I run the Blend test, the error comes out in 5 minutes like that.
Roughly what can cause error like that?

My setup is:
Q6600 @ 400x8 @ 1.375v
Corsair XMS2 @ 5-5-5-15 @ 400x2.0 @ 1.8v
GA-G31M-ES2L
CM Extreme Power 500w

I don't plan to go for further overclocking, so I guess my rig suppose to be enough already.

yea i agreed too.. modular only looks COOL!!!! haha.. im getting my st560w soon.. my bank already dry up.. =(
