yes it will burn ur mobo so make sure u put some ice on ur mobo to prevent overheating -_______-

i am newbie...may i ask EP35 DS3 motherboard with E7200 processor if wan overclock...the data should be how much?....

If you OC higher then you'll normally need extra voltage. Too much voltage would produce heat and in return might kill something in your PC.

brought gigabyte EP45-DQ6 with intel core 2 duo 2.66ghz processor

still fast. so don't need to OC for the time being. heard that window 7 will go faster than vista. so don't clock first...

wht data r u referring to?

Hi guys, if I increase the FSB but decrease the multiplier for the processor such that the overall speed is the same, is that still considered overclocking?

If you have a low-end C2D (45nm CPUs) and don't want to spend much $$ on aftermarket coolers, see if you can get a high-end C2Q stock cooler and use that instead. For example, I have a E7400, and I am using it with a Q9550 stock cooler (difference is that the Q9550 cooler is very slightly taller, has a round copper base instead of full aluminum, and a more powerful fan). I am currently running the E7400 @3.50GHz (10.5x333) which is a 25% overclock (+0.7GHz) at stock voltage, with full load temps of around 56-58C. This was my first attempt at overclocking this CPU too, and will be working to OC it further. Let's see if I can break 4GHz.

With so many people who buy the high-end C2Q CPUs practically throwing away their stock coolers to get better coolers like TRUE or Megahalems, this could be a very cheap way to get better cooling for your CPU at next to nothing (or even free).

p4 2.4 presscot
elitegroup 865PE-A
1.75gb ram
powercolor x800
160gb sata
iCUTE 450watt

my q here,,
i tried many times to overclock the cpu..
i increase the frequency rate but when booting,,the hdd not detected..
whats going on??is there any steps in overclocking that i missed??
i thinking about the psu..

please help me guys...wanna oc my E8400 at at 4.3ghz using ASUS Maximus II Formula

this screen shot after i OC my E8400 to 4.0GHZ only

I suggest dat u manually set your Vcore and run Prime95 to see the stability. Also monitor the temperature..

put la 9 multiplier.... u melebih lebih nak 500++ fsb pulak...480x9 = 4.32ghz.... pastuh bump vcore and gtl ref bla bla bla ler -_____-

then set all voltage bla bla bla manually, use fsb to nb strap 400mhz

@x-1o8-x

i'm already try what u said before..it give me BSOD...even i pump vcore 1.43v

vcore alone is not enough.

there's nb,gtl and whole lot of other voltage setting to consider.plus ram speed,timing,ratio and voltage affect overclocking.

how about mine..?? can guide me step by step how to overclock my rig.. i tried it before but failed.. sigh.. pls guide me.. my spec as below..

I'm using the same processor and MB as yours. I have the same OC setting ( 333 x 10.5 = 3.49Ghz) as well because predictably I'm using 667mhz rams.
(I swap the stock cooler to after market coz my E7400 reached 96 Celsius when gaming. The max temps recommended by Intel is 74.1 C.)
BUT, the differences is in the temps. On load mine is max. 49 Celsius; on ilde is 30 Celsius. (load = Crysis on high settings)

I got myself Arctic Cooling Freezer Xtreme, market price @ RM200 but I bought it for only RM140 at C-zone sdn bhd. at Lowyat Plaza. (apparently their stocks of AC Freezer Xtreme are a little defected. So their selling it cheap. But for a cpu cooler, a little bent here and there is no big deal, mine I got a scratched top part and a bent little fin. with a good'old plyer, i fixed it like new less than 2 minutes)

My point is that, if you had an extra RM40 plus the money u bought the CMH TX2, u could have bought the AC Freezer Xtreme, for sure you can get kinda the same temps as mine since we both use the same Mobo, rams and proc with similar OC settings. Anyways your load temps and your idle temp ain't too bad, but still the temp could go down a little, especially if someday you decide to get 800mhz rams and push the Ghz of the proc up to 4.0Ghz

Hope you find this info useful from another E7400 user

all overclocked component need extra voltage, u forgot nb, ram and other things. and do not set the voltage to auto. the mobo tend to OVERvoltage the component too much try to make it stable.

Can this be considered as okay?

wooot...1.17 vcore? can share ur setting in bios?

wat psu,mobo u used?

want to ask something...any nice intel proc to overclocked?
tot to buy q6600 G0 with vid < 1.3v..but nw hard to find..
any alternative?
