This thread is to let you all know what are the chipsets using on your RAM there.you can compare the RAM chips with the info from there then you will know the RAM chip using from the manufacturer.

THis can be done in bios mode there by increasing the FSB.

Loading temp on 55 is very good already,can stay with the stock heatzink no need to change.Nice o/c on your proc there.

hmmm.mind to tell me how to increase the fsb coz i duno much in oc n i scared will make this pc getting worst than b4...

bro, how much is ur vcore ?

I think you can see it from the screen there right?About 1.21V like that...

i guess not lah....i'm oso got tat reading of 1.21v when i'm in 1.7v..

whenever after i incresed the vcore above 1.5v, CPUz can't gimme the reading liao....

i'm a noob here 2... i can't seem to get OC my C2D E6300(1.86GHz) on Gigabyte GA-P965-DS4... i'm using iCute 480W twin fan standard rated PSU... not enough power ar...?

u r using icute psu

Seeing that u have oced your c2d successfully. I just need few pointers.
First thing first. I just Bought below spec.

E6300 + Stock HSF
Corsair VS 667 512 MB (1 stick only - next mth wil buy another one)
Gigabyte DS3
Sata1 160GB
X550 (next mth will upgrade...maybe)

Let's just assume I have ZERO knowledge to OC as the last time I tried to OC was the P43.0E only using a software called aibooster by Asus. and I hear people say that piece of software is bull...

I can navigate my way via Bios but was too scared to play around with it without a Guru guiding me.

Here is my aim. I'd like to just OC to maybe around 2.5 ghz only when I'm encoding video for my PSP and anime (DVD-AVI/MKV), so it's not 24/7 OCing.

Just interested to OC without upping the voltage and only while im encoding movies/anime.

I saw people use a software that was bundled with the DS3 board but was not sure whether that is a good choice to 'easily' oc.

Your experienced advise is much appreciated. and a step by step guid would be great too....

I'm sure you received a lot of post like this and I understand if you guys just point me to a thread for me to read first. In fact I have done a fair bit of searching and most of the guide assumed that the user knows sumthing on OCing and some of the new guide seems too outdated compared to today c2d boards.

Thanking you guys in advance for your help.

err... as is said... i'm juz a noob... anything wrong wif iCute...? i borrow it from my boss... until i can find a realpower 500W PSU from either CM or Enermax...

no problem at all actually, just icute PSU not suitable for OC, use a better PSU to oc is more safety.

Not suitable for OC? U mean harder OC? Look my below sig.

i heard tht my proc cant oc coz of branded pc.is it true???i wish to oc my 2.8ghz to 3.2ghz which is the max for my pc

Branded PC can do overclocking one.They don't allowed the changes in bios setting there,unless you got a 3.2GHz proc for yourself.

but now i wan to oc my current 2.8 to 3.2 ghz.can or not?

depen on ur system and a lil bit of luck

but i duno how to oc.wat bios setting?is it at setup thr when restart a pc n press f8??

Bios mode is pressing F2 when rebooting....I don't think you can change the FSB inside there.

hmm.ok.i will try it once i back home.

i just try to enter a bios setting but i cant.when rebooting i try press f2 many time but it was nth happen.it just running normal until startup.wat happen?
