hi guys, really need advice on which mobo i should get to OC my E6600. Currently im using Gigabyte N650SLI-DS4, and it seems i can go 3.15ghz only. Any other other settings seem to make my pc unstable, so im planning to get a higher end SLI motherboard. The other components i hav is :

2 x MSI 8800GTS 512mb OC edition
4 x 1gb OCZ Reaper DDR800
750watt Coolermaster PSU
Coolermaster Mystique casing
Soundblaster XFI Platinum

Really hope u guys can advice me what other things i will need in order to achieve the 3.6ghz mark. Thank u very much.

why dont use 355 x 9?is it more easy to achieve without change vcore?
noob here

Mine is L710A811

Is it bad? LOL

Tee hee I'm holding a Team KOC-certified L629 here Running stable 3.6 on 1.4v....

fuc* mine is L652B136 wats tht mean?? cant oc at all??

pump up the northbridge voltage


any c2d can hit 3.0 easily

@jack
u try tweak more ur setting..with my previous e66 i can do around 3.8ghz stabel prime..forgot with the vcore..but highest i cant do 3.96ghz using asus commando

@cyberfly
not really..sumtime when using higher multi abit hard to oc rather than using lower multi..its depent on ur luck,skills and hardware

@maranello
cant tell the perfomance jus based on the batch..sumtime with same batch u got differ result..so my advise try tweak it 1st..its oc then u need to face try n error

bro giv me tips

e66 on 680i mobo
i want 3.0 stabil.............

bro there not jus a tip u need..u need to try n error when oc..there no when u want 3ghz stable then simply u got it

im still dizzy...they told me to increase fsb to 333 x 9 to get 3.0G..
but in bios there wuz no 333! the lowest is 400...how to get it manually to enter 333? so i put 1033FSB so tht i can hit 3.0G. but in 1:1 the ram oso gone 1033mhz! shuttttt!!! so i use automatic..

like i said b4 i use 680i SLi

im not too familiar with ur bios..but if ur mobo hv biow to oc then i think np..but jus wonder when u said lowest is 400..izzit ur lowest fsb?then ur max fsb how much?u try check it back..normally on stock e66 wil run 266x9 = 2.4ghz..can u oso gv ur details spec of ur rig?

Thanks mfcm.

Mine is running stable and pass orthos n prime 2 hours.

460 x 7 - 3.2.

I read a guide saying we should max the bus speed instead using the multiplier to get a desired clock...is that true?

In my case, orthos is reaching 70c...too hot so im planning to get an artic cooler before i can keep that clock. Perhaps a better cooler coz im pumping up voltage. Cant seem to get 500 x 8 or reach 3.6 thats y.

i think its quite hard to get that high 500fsb..but u may try..if u lucky u can hv it hv u try 400x9?500x8 to get stbale on air cooling is hard to b done bro

Thanks! I tried 425x8...windows can boot and ran 3dmark06 perfectly with a score 11,893. Im looking at 3.6 and 12k score after i get myself a new HSF.

what cooler you're using? and all the voltages settings. having the same fpo/batch #.

Intel stock....dont dare to go higher than 3.2 and keep it.

Tried 3.6 (400x9 1.4v) and mem to 1000Mhz (1:2.4). Windows can boot but CCC crashed and 3dmark06 cant even finished return to proxycon.

Could be the proc temp...its 47-49 on idle.
Cant be the GC tho...OC it and put the fan on 100% and load on 63c.

What could be the reason of the instability?

Same as in my sig. I'm trying to hit 3.6ghz by pushing up my vcore to from 1.28v to 1.4v...hehe...pray pray


--------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

Failed to boot up at 3.5ghz even at 1.5v....I can feel my proc is melting...hehe tuned down to 3.4ghz for 24/7 usage.

Since i can boot at 3.6, im getting a cooler...probably the xigmatex...very good reviews. But with my Mars, i might have prob since it might not clear the NB heatsink.

Added on April 6, 2008, 3:33 amYes! At last 12K on 3dmark06....dont dare running prime....temp will soar...wait till i get the red scorpion.

Added on April 6, 2008, 1:07 pmO btw, sticking to the topic, mine is L710A811, now stable at 3.55Ghz at 1.45v

Added on April 6, 2008, 1:10 pmIf i follow the first post, mine would be week 10 and A series...not that i know what that means...but its sure can go 3.6 this baby....just need some cooling for it to run prime95.

Overclocking needs luck too sometimes bro....btw,

wuts ur voltage? ur vdimm voltage?
