just wondering, anyone using x3320 reached 4GHz?
must be using insane vcore.

I reckon it'll be pretty hard. Vcore and maybe FSB wall. I'd try if I had watercooling though haha.

once u tried u wont care anymore

yaya...wana see if i can overcome my noobness in OCing onot

I just want to break 3.6GHz barrier.
Dunno is it suitable for 24/7 usage o not.

-pWs-

upgrade a bit from 3.2GHz.
Now 3.45GHz 24/7 @ 1.3vcore & 1.26vtt.
quite happy & very good speed for video conversion.

hmm..ur is p45 right? have u tried using lower VTT?

cos my p35 oso can stable with just 1.13 VTT at 455..just need to pump slightly more vcore nia...hehe

havent try yet.
but stock is 1.2 so increase until 1.26 to get it stable.
will try tonite. now makan first.

Can anyone comment on this spec? Not for overclocking though.


mobo = gigabyte EP45-DS3R (ATI CrossFire supported)

vga = GTX260 Gigabyte 896M D3 / Gainward HD 4870 HDMI 512MB DDR5 Golden Sample

processor = Q9450 2.66ghz 1333fsb 12mb cache

ram = 4gb Team Xtreem Dark Series PC8500

hdd = WD 160gb 8mb sata2(main) WD 640gb 16mb sata2 (storage)

casing = cooler master cm-690

psu = gigabyte odin pro 550w truepower

lcd monitor = Asus MK241H

dvdwriter = LG

If it is ok im going get this spec but will decide on graphic card when i get to the shop =)

ur ram no need pc6400 lor... since no oc.. you don't need it since no oc.. u can run 3.2ghz on stock vcore easily.. which is 400x8 only 800mhz for ram.. i think u need better psu for future upgrades like crossfire or such..

My comments:
1. IceMocha is right. Using the Team RAM is a waste - just go with DDR2-800 since no overclocking.
2. 4870 has better price/performance.
3. Use the 640GB as the primary Windows drive. It is faster than the 160GB.
4. Better PSU is a good idea too. I recomment the Corsair TX650 or 750.

yeah.. actually u can get a single hdd and just partition it for storage..

hello guys... just got a X3320 yesterday... my VID 1.1750.. is this low enough???? it seems i have stability issue when oc to 400*7.5 at stock voltage... what voltage u guys normally use?

why don't u try running prime95 to test its stability. we all hope we can achieve the lowest vcore with stability. it's not necessary to pump vcore excessively, coz it will shorten your cpu's life.

I'm using 443x7.5 at 1.175v stable

weird... 443*7.5 at 1.175.... mine 400 also not stable... maybe need to tweak more... so far i got 2 bsod since i got my chip. haih.... yesterday was playing games when it happened... then happened again when priming while i was sleeping.... owikh whats ur vid?? 1.175v too?

argh!!!...
couldnt understand I45 bios...
can anyone guide me...

i'm running 430*7.5 1.08v 24/7

that's the sweet spot for my proc. any increments in voltage doesnt justified the extra speed imho

Glock - it's very subjective. One processor may be able to do 443 at 1.175v, another not. Try tweaking your GTL refs, Vmch and Vtt.

Tech - what don't you understand? Too broad la your question =p

Yes, it's 1.175v as mentioned earlier.
But one thing I'm not happy with my core temp .


Duno what's wrong. S1283 w/ SS kit & Tuniq TX-2 also cant help
Nothing's wrong with the installation, cable management & air flow .
I think it's my hot room is the main factor.

time for air conditioner it is kot.
