multipliers arent locked for intel processors.. i believe so.. unless the motherboard locks it for you.

Yes you can overclock your ram depending on chipset of the ram. The one specified on the mobo is just a hardware requirement. but u can get lower freqs and oc it higher.

EDIT: Intel Processors dont have locked multipliers meaning there is a range of about 2 degrees. For example like the E6750 has the range of 6-8* for its multiplier, thus i consider it has not locked to 8

Dun mistaken this with extreme procs with Unlocked multipliers this guys have a bigger range, of multipliers.

I am clarifying this so that some person doesnt make a fool of what i said.

well, firstly the right hardware to OC, then learn about the fundamentals of your hardware before playing with it. Then once u learn, u will understand any OC guide easily

his guide is alright, but substancial for starters

generally hmm. thats a very good question. In theory, a higher fsb is better than a lower fsb, but in real time use, it doesnt make a difference, maybe in benchmarks yes. Expert opinions welcomed here.

use windows to OC your proc la sure can one.

nothing works better than bare rams on air being blown by a fan And Kvrs now.. are hopeless, unless u have this

1.DDR2 533 rams coz these have D9GCT(godlike)
2.Hynix FP-5Y rev. A, B or C
3.Elpida 6E-E

you cant learn OCing with handbooks. You learn by reading it and searching it by yourself. NO one is kind enough tio give you handbooks... by the way Kmarc has a good guide.. and search for his threads. By the way u wont get much from the specs you have.

anything above stock specs and mismanaged temp controlmwill result in a shorter life span, i think its a pretty obvious answer, just think about a human being which u stress to run every single moment, sure will die faster lor.

cl5 have lower bandwidth readings than cl4 when it comes to subtimings. In ram overclocking, its not about the speed and how tight your timings can be, its also about how much bandwidth you gain from an overclock.

What is bandwidth? It is in layman terms defined to be the amount of information being able to be carried per second. So for example, if i have a ram which is ddr2 800 in rating at cl5-5-5-15, my memory bandwidth is generally rated at 6400MB/s or lower(there are other factors involved too).

So for example if i tighten my timings to cl4-4-4-12, my bandwidth actually is increased to around 7000~8000MB/s. This is a gain in bandwidth This is what overclockers in general want. Ill give u an screenshot of what i mean

Stability is simple. If the computer doesnt run like you want it to run like, its not stable. There are many ways to test stability, one easiest method, is, running heavy programs, or softwares. That can be a good test, or the simple SuperPi32M test

Notice the Memory bandwidths and latency

what u get on stock



and... what u get when u overclock

just a comparison of bandwidth only. No specific indication on dividers whatsoever.. i just wanted to show what overclocking actually do

again.. wanna get free post counts ah

wow. its been awhile almostthere.. welcome back

i agree on that, i am doing the same at the moment, though the itchy hands do take over sometimes.... to push it to the max and get corrupted os in the process

yeah ur an old fart... hahahahaha. Hmm so really theres nothing u have missed here. except for new gadgets thats all.

technology would have flown so fast that e6550 will be like pentium 2 about 10 yrs ago . so lifespans are... not significant, as most of us would live out a processor after 2~3 yrs.

hello, i am noob here for oc. Can someone teach me how to oc.. ? What does EIST and C1E do?

@oc4/3
what case are you talking about long time already that one.. ....

@oc4/3
1. I cant help RMA, coz i dont have a spare TPower to lend him(AFAUK, ive sold all my stuff)
2. Maybe you shouldnt be so kaypoh, this is between Looi and me. Same thing goes for your KayPoh act on "lolhalol" the last time by posting his pic up, when u didnt have to do it.

Got the idea? good

lol abang oi... i cannot play2 ka
