For doing overclocking , what softwares we hav to use?? i am a newbie oso.. ~ like for overclocking proc use wat? ram ? is it the gigabyte free software can make it? pro plz tell in full explaination

the bundled Easytune software can do overclocking pretty well, but for some advanced settings such as latency, you'll need to access the bios

im not using any software to OC..
i OC from BIOS onli

i think this is not a right place for u to ask for details of overclocking dude...

Guys, i just bought my e6600. So i was doing some exoerimental OC with it. i tried to clock it to 2.5 Ghz.

The clock speed, i get from cpu-z differs... as shown below
Do u guys have any idea y it differs ?

My config is
E6600
MSI 975x Platinum Power Up Edition
Patriot 6400 800Mhz CL4
128 DDR3 7300GT

Nothing wrong wif it... Just that when your CPU idle, it will drop the multiplier.. U can disable Intel SpeedStep at BIOS...

not a right place but is a nice place.. =p i get the answer from nice heart ppl here ^^, TQ

Where is the right place?

Overclocking is testing your hardware upper boundary, most of the time we want stability for overclocked machine. In the megahertz era overclocker favor in squish more mhz out of the factory setting. You able to achieve that by adjusting the properties for clock speed ie fsb and cpu multiplier these properties make up the megahertz ie 133fsb * 10 multiplier = 1330mhz. But in order to make the system unit stable after overclocking is another art well maybe increase voltage etc in relative heat create problem thus effiecient cooling needed. et cetera

So maybe you can try playing with the software bundle with most motherboard to test and play with it and find out the limit of your system. I think thats the easiest and convinient way

i believe its HERE

Here is my new record result for overclocking C2D E6300 1.860Ghz to 3.514Ghz.

Overclocking System setting:

C2D 1.86Ghz (Stepping : L626A422) @ 502*7 = 3.514Ghz @ 1.450v @ Intel Factory Original Heatsink I already change 626 Stepping Processor
Gigabyte P965-DS3 @ F4 Bios
Corsair XMS2 TwinX REV8.1 DDR2 675Mhz 512MB*2 (1GB Dual Channel) @ 2.3v ~ DDR2 1004Mhz CL 5 - 5 - 4 - 9 Change RAM form Hynix FP-C4 to this.

Super PI 1M Pass : 16.500s

EIST enable so when I snap picture already drop to muitiplier 6.

Attached thumbnail(s)

run 1M with EIST disabled

The problem is can't disable! Even I setting "Always On", It's still enable EIST...

Can't disable it in the bios?

There's the option in Bios, disable everything from C1E to Virtualization technology....

Hi, May I know your full voltage setting in BIOS? Looks impressive...

maybe ur belive is wrong... y? coz i wanna ask about overclocking core 2 duo.. there the website u gav dun hav lar... if u said i din mention tat i am asking about core 2 duo overclocking then u miss out sumthing, i am asking here & this is a core 2 duo topic , so tat means ??


blaxez | ashie
TQ for teaching

but i still hav question , using the software i can set it at tat mhz? or after restart pc , it will auto change back 1 ?

erm, 1.450v lor. I already write down.

u can ask there oso laa. its dedicated to all intel chips, since c2d kinda lil' new, the MOD there havent yet add the c2d.. apa la lu

just like that? the rest put normal?

Warning Warning, Here is a place for enthusiasts to discuss overclocking of Allendale and Conroe CPU, not a place to argue or spamming to increase post count.... Behave yourself and post your questions with good manner + understandable.. TQ
