why did i struggle so hard to get 3.0 ghz on an e6400 evga 680i sli with 4-4-4-12? lol . u guys have more with a 6300... any advice?

better update my mhz

Loosen your timings to auto or 5 - 5 - 5 - 15 and see how high you can go then

aww, but i thought this was the preferred timing. would having a higher core be better than having the better timing? ill try whatever lol..

Your ram is DDR 800 right? and it is rated to do 400Mhz DDR800 @ timings of 4-4-4-12! So your problem is when you want to clock things up, if you dont put a divider in to keep your ram @ that speed it will go up with the fsb and cpu clock! So... the ram will say be running faster at timings that arnt really ment for the higher freq, so loosening the timings or giving the ram stupid amounts of volts which will most likely kill it very prematurely...

I would loosen timings take the cpu speed up and when you hit the cpu/fsb sweet spot you can tighten the timings accordingly, but dont expect to go back to 4-4-4-12 if you are running a 500fsb

yea im ddr 800... ok i'll give it all a shot.. i didnt want to go back to "unlink" lol.. ever since i set bios to "sync" it let me change everything so simply. what about dropping the multiplier to 7? good idea?

Your ram will do DDR 950 I would of thought with a little xtra voltage, I would leave your multi @ 8 imo, then if you get 475FSB 1:1 with your ram you will have a crazily fast cpu @ 3.8Ghz, thats if you can keep it cool and that would be the very highest you could go which is pretty darn fast! only then would I think about dropping multi to 7, no point in paying the extra dollars for a e6300

i dont want to push it that far lol.. 3.4 would be fine.. 3.0 is acceptable but as long as i can keep it alive a year idc.. im upgrading as soon as i can.. this 1:1 ratio your talking about.. if i set it to 1:1 it keeps the fsb and the core cpu the same in my bios.. i cant run a 1500 memory lol.. so unlink it then again?and do it independently? so your saying not to mess with the core clock but insted use the fsb frequency? thats the only thing that will go around that number (475) with the (qdr) but i thought that just changed the memory not the core.. eesh.. lol.

No DDR 1500 wont work lol

Can you not manually adjust everything? When I change my FSB to 450 it changes the RAM but I set the multiplier to 2 then it sets it at DDR 900

When you change the FSB it will clock the cpu up higher, there is no getting around that, only changing the cpu multi to x7 will it make the cpu lower but allowing the fsb higher, so if you were to change the fsb to 400x7 you will have 2.8Ghz

wheni change my fsb that low i error out. i cant go below like 600 i dont know what multiplier your talking about that goes as low as 2..lol i dont have one.. i think..lol.. i have a 6-8x cpu multiplier.

What is the max you have got? I will do some digging around to see if I can see what settings you have and can be changed in your bios

Have you tried using ntune? That seems to beable to find the best clocks for your system!

 

[D007]

I heard ntune isnt as reliable as bios so ive been using bios.. i have the e6400 conroe on an evga 680i sli Mobo.. im running xp. I'm still trying whatever I can think of to push this thing to like 3.1 or 3.2 at least. im going to loosen my timing to 7-7-7-21 and see where I can go. as per what Spootity recommended trying. ill try ntune maybe too.. but ntune worries me.. any software worries me for some reason in cpu overclocking..lol.. everyone ive used seems to have little issues that cause some kind of conflictions or errors or something.

the conroes multiplier is 8x stock.. 6x minimum 8x max.

You could try ntune, see what it gives you increase wise, then set the bios manually to whatever it says

 

[D007]

I just kept messing with the settings.. up to 3.22 ghz now at 4-4-4-15- t2 timing.

 

[ace80]

woo, just found a screenshot of my P4 @ 5150mhz! Was just about to delete the folder to replace it with the new CPUZ, and thankfully i took the time to have a look inside it!

I think the voltage is wrong. It was at 1.7v (max in bios) at the time. From what i remember that was just a suicide run using setfsb, and it was definatly not stable, and crashed just after hitting F5 (screenshot key for cpuz).

^BTW, does anyone know why it says it's modified in August? All the screenshots in the folder say the same thing =/

I don't mind if it's not added to the list, because it was never validated @ that frequency

I remember when you posted this and thought i'd try to beat it, then i forgot all about it.
Well, he's the screenie from back then, totally unstable of course

 

[infrared]

Damn you and your cedar mill lol. Nice one

I know lol, before my ram arrives i might pop it back in the commando with the coolit eliminator, i dont think i'll get any more though, at those clocks and voltages i think even the eliminator will have problems keeping it cool.
Hopefully it wont be too long until i post up a extreme oc with the e6420, stuck at 400fsb atm @3.2Ghz, all stock voltages, max load temps using tat for 30 mins 25/27 degrees C mobo:25degrees

Probs good idea to run it in abit before you push it to the max

Remember that is the temp of the cpu surface not the cores, if your surface is that temp then im sure your cores will be fine though! Everest is a good bit of software for monitoring and benching

Dont worry i'm not planning on killing this just yet, how longs a good burn in period?
The temps i quoted are from core temp, tat always shows the temps a few degrees higher and lower sometimes , whats the recommended monitoring app?

I ran mine @ stock for a week, then cranked things up abit @ a time, thats just my way! You must have xtreme cooling for those temps on the cores? Everest is what I use, the new 2007 is really good for showing correct read outs compared to 2006 I have found! Just torrent it

 

[Random Murderer]

if you hit 6GHz i will bow down to you as an overclocking god!

im new to the forum, wanna share my OC i learned a lot from this forums.

i got pentium D930 3.0ghz
asus p5b premium vista edition
4gb cheap ram. (blitz)
2 sata drives
600w coolmaster psu
thermaltake bigwater cpu cooling
ati x1900xtx

got to 4.8ghz with FSB at 320
cpu vcore=1.53
dram v=2.25
pci express =100
memory options =auto

i cannot get past 4.8 cause if i raise FSB to 321 computer wont boot. nothing appears on the screen. 4.8 is good. it is stable i've been playing GRAW for a while with no problem. i would like to get to the 5.0ghz but i hit the wall at 4.8 any help is apreciated.

almost forgot. i dont dare to rise the voltages more than what i have them. cause i couldnt find any info on how much voltage is too much. but if there is anyway to keep OC'ing ill get another radiator for more cooling

it may SEEM stable, but you should still run orthos to see.
just search tpu's download section for orthos.
