Where to overclock my FBU or Multiplier in the bios, i can't seem to find it

Do i need to update my BIOS? If so, how since i don't have a floppy

in bios .hit ctl + F1

use @bios for update bios..update within window.no need floppy

During start-up....just hit the DEL key. Ctrl+F1 only works when you are in the bios and need to change the ram timings.

As for bios...i believe urs is F4 bios.....try updating to F5M....It's still beta but its so far the best bios up to date.

got it thanks, my cpu is now 3.15ghz from 2.4ghz...can go more but i'm afraid ... whats the symptom of it is maxed?

it will gone unstable if tweaking setup wrongly

I am sure your proc can go higher then that....2.4 to 3.15 is just a mere 700Mhz. But make sure u have good cooling. On air, try to stay below 1.55v. Without good cooling, at 1.55v produce quite a lot of EMI.

Try bumping up the voltages and FSB 3 Mhz at a time...until you reach a sweet spot.

i set my volatage up to AUTO because i dont know what to put.

current voltage is around 1.38v

Added on August 11, 2007, 2:31 pmjust wanna ask, why does my multiplier go to 6x when idle and 9x when doing something

edit again...i already off (disable) my EIST

54C wat? Idle or load? Whether to go for WC is really up to you. For P35-DQ6, you have to disable C1E and TM2 in bios to maintain your clock speed.

54c i think idle is that bad?

That's hot.
Are you on stock heatsink?

ya i dont have proper heatsink..... >.> so i guess i should tone down my processor eh?

Dude, you can afford a quad core, a P35-DQ6, and an 8800GTS, but you can't even afford some 3rd party heatsink?
Owh god, dude, get some 3rd party heatsink la, at least CM GeminII.

You're killing your processor.

whats a heatsink actually....

in my BIOS
current system temperature 41
current cpu temperature 54..

so i should take my processor back to 266 eh?


_
so i should get this "heatsink" thingy and a water cooler?

......
A heatsink and a watercooling is two different things.

If you have at least another RM600 in hand, then you're worthy enough to go watercooling.
If you're not, just stick to Aircooling heatsink.

Can you see on top of your proessor there's one aluminium round block with an intel fan on top of it?
That's a "heatsink".

That's the stock heatsink that came from intel.
If you're on stock speed, yes it's good enough for you, but when it goes to overclocking, i'd suggest you to get a 3rd party aftermarket heatsink such as CM GeminII at a price tag of RM150 at Lowyat Plaza.

But if you have another RM600 in your hand, then you can go straight to watercool your processor.

Which one you choose is up to you.

k i updated my processor back to FBU 266 - 47C now

Wah, on stock speed it goes to 47°C eyh?
That's quad core for you.

My advise is if you love your processor no matter you run on stock speed or overclocked, get an aftermarket heatsink for your processor to cool it down.

so, does watercooling have better effect then heatsink? how long do they need to setup it?

i got rm600, but with my current speed of 350FBU , should i get heatsink instead??

oh ya i tone down my FBU-266, when i want to overclock back, could it go straight to 350 back?

Yes, but not those watercooling kit that you get at Lowyat Plaza, those are crap.
If you're serious in watercooling, i can list up the item that you should get and where to get it.

You won't get a good watercooling kit at Lowyat plaza.
What you'll get at lowyat plaza is those crappy CoolerMaster & Thermaltake watercooling kit that is not even better than an RM200 aircooling heatsink.

If you're willing to spend another RM600, then i'll list up what item and where to get.

can you list it up? the model and where to get?
but hope it's not too far

it's a big difference? i mean heatsink vs water cooling like how much celcius
