Hi Guys,

I need some help here. I decided to overclock my q6600 proc today. I've set FSB to 333mHz and multiplier at x9. It's running at 3.00GhZ now. All on stock FAN. CPU temp is at 55c at the moment. What i'm worried is, it seems to be stable now but the CPU temp 55c is it ok?? I read, Intel stock fan for q6600 could handle 63c. I've attached my settings. I need some guidance here. thanx in advance.

maybe wrong place to post but really need help about my simple pc

proc : Intel Celeron Dual Core 2.5ghz fsb 800
ram : Kingston DDR2 800 2gb
mobo : Asrock G31-MS

the problem is, just like the mobo won't detect the ram as 800mhz, I only got 667 when i check on mybios. FYI this mobo got boot failure guard if anycase it doesn't stable.

Sorry for asking it here, hope could helping

honestly it is much harder to overclock that pentium D compared to the 2.66GHz ones. Since the 2.66ghz got low fsb setting high multiplier x20 My pentium D is also the old tech process 90nm ones.

FSB/RAM is definitely the one stopping you. I dont like OC my RAM and I didnt do any research on it, so u might wanna ask other here. I tot you can adjust the Ram ratio so it wont overclock pass 667.

ok I after a while I tried again on my CPU.

Got once I tried b4 Overclock to 3.5Ghz @ default clock (1.2v), playing CPU heavy use game(game that use heavy cpu) . I actually load the game 3 times. (*means same game open 3 and run triple at same time) After a while got some minor issue text artifact issue(the game graphic is rendered by CPU lol). but still stable didnt crash yet.

another time push to 3.6GHz @ default clock, able to boot to window, even play that game, but crash after a while.

According to tomshardware with increase voltage, this thing can push to 4.1GHz, default voltage @ 1.4v can get 3.6GHz (I dont know why their is 1.4, mine is 1.2v)

So conclusion is pentium D is not a bad overclocker, It is either Ram issue, or FSB or bad motherboard.

I am sticking back to 3.33GHz @ 333 FSB as I am happy to run it with FSB/Ram sync with my 667Mhz together

Guys, I don't know what the hell is wrong with my rig as I OC it.
The problem is it started to crash or hangs everytime I started to play games or the GPU is on the load.
It happened b4 but I thought it was probably bcoz of the PSU.
So I changed it. OC it again and it was running ok....until today, it started again. Now had to stock everything, again.
You guys have any idea on this?

My rig spec:
-Intel C2Q Q6600 @ 3.0GHz (now stock again @ 2.4GHz)
-Corsair DDR2 Gaming RAM @ 800MHz
-MSI P7N SLI Platinum Mobo
-XFX GTS 250 @ stock.
-CM GX650W PSU

thanks..

if i wanna overclock e7400 2.8ghz to 3.2ghz....

will it show any noticeable improvement in gaming or not?

me OC q9450 3.6GHz
run prime95 an hour only with ambeint temp 29

the result no error & temp reading like this:
79-74-76-76
is this acceptable as i c at intel web site normal temp 4 q9450 is within 71.4
if not i think my quadie is quite hot...huhuhu

need some advise to O.C my CPU,how much I can O.C my processor?
My rid

-Dual Core E6500 2.93
-Asus P5KPL/1600
bio version:0512
-Silverstone ST50F 500WATT

1-check ur proc multiplier, max is how much?
2-whats ur ram type + speed?
3-proc cooler is what type?
4-got ram cooler?
5-air ventilation, how many intake fan & output fan?

1-how to check proc multilier? I just know my CPU is 2.93ghz 2.93ghz
2-currently using with original Intel HSF
3-I using with 2x2GB hyper-x DDR2 1066 mhz
4-cooler include
5-I try to make my pc full cooler...currently using 4x12cm cooler fan (2 performance and 2normal) (2performance for intake GPC and outtake mobo) (2normal for HDD and Top)
6-I use Thermaltake V3 Black case

normally temp with non-aircond room is

ur proc max multiplier is 11.. ur fsb is 266mhz
should be able to reach 3.2ghz-3.3ghz with stock cooler..
change to cm hyper 212+ should be able to oc to 4Ghz stable
however u need to play with vcore + dram:fsb ratio 1.. just dont go too high on ram clock

so how to start now?my ori hsf can enough me to O.C TO 3.3ghz??

u need to increase the fsb frequency.. try at 276mhz first, boot & run prime, then repeat with 286, then 300.. make sure ur ram mhz goes anywhere between 750-850mhz (adjust the fsb:ram ratio)

ori hsf should be able to support 3.3ghz.. (400mhz increase).. more than that i wouldnt dare..

can I know where can I increase the fsb frequency??in the bios setup?
and how to increase proc to 3.3ghz?

I m a beginning in O.C..need some advise.

yes definitely in bios.. got few guide inside LYN itself.. pls search..
i suggest u read lot about fsb freq, fsb:dram ratio, vcore, dram voltage, nb voltage, fsb termination voltage, cpu pll voltage and the list goes on.. dont just go oc if u're new else ur pc will die..

best way is to find someone with similar setup as yours (cpu, mobo, ram) who already oc'ed and make it as ur guideline..

Hello Guys.
Newbie To Overclock Here.
GA-965P-DS4
E5200
Crucial Ballistix Tracer 1066
Intel Stock Cooler Copper Base
Now Is 2.81Ghz Stock Vcore,Dram 225Mhz 4-3-3-11.
I Dont Really Understand Ram Timing.
So Far This Is The Bootable Overclock To Me.

Hello everyone.I am new in overclocking.I saw this thread talking about intel overclocking.

My rig is as my signature.

My settings r done through bios

Core i3-530 3,608 MHz
Multiplier 22x
Base Frequency 164 MHz
RAM 8x
RAM 1,312 MHz
QPI 32

The settings r based on tis article
Overclocking Intel i3


Just want to ask sifus here whether my settings correct anot.I didnt change the voltage.I manage to boot into the windows and my pc is still running..but i am not sure whether it's safe anot since i am new to overclocking.Please help me out

fiddling with my 2nd rig currently. RAM is Corsair 2x1GB CM2X1024-6400C4 'borrowed' from my friend (not enuf cash to by new one). since they're CL4, i tried setting them at 4-4-4-12 @2.1V but not without PC getting BSOD.



what could go wrong here? help this newbie please

by the way, here's the current spec:

Intel Pentium 4 560 3.60GHz with Hyper-Threading
Biostar TForce 965PT
Corsair 2x1GB CM2X1024-6400C4
CM eXtreme Power PSU 500W

guys, anyone knows how high can an e8400/e3110 go on p35 chipset?
how many mhz @ what vcore & what nb voltage? tq

normal tk ni?

You need to tell us what processor your using
