lol hope your not running this all the time lolz ok first up your voltage to 1.3 then your multiplier to 16 and that will clock you too 3.2ghz if your aiming for 4ghz you will need a multiplier of 20 but your gonna want to do it in small increments at a time but firstly do you have watercooling coz atm from your screen dump i havent seen a pc running those specs in over 15 years lol

ps sorry for any spelling mistakes im on my mobile

thats a really good temp at full load lol i have a gigabyte board in the wifes pc with a 555be and i cant unlock the cores put that same chip into my asrock board and unlocks first go lol so far i have found that unlocking and ocing on gigabyte boards suck lol if your ale to get your hands on a asrock board and trying again lolz the board i use is the asrock 890gx extreme3 you can bet them for about 130 bucks my system build has only cost me about 1100 bucks all up and have a great rig

Yeh my unlocked x2 555 which I have clocked to 4.1GHz really sucks on this Gigabyte board Certain boards are just better equipped for the unlocking, whether it's ASUS, Gigabyte, MSI etc....

yeah i found gigabyte boards to be reliable for basic office use or stock systems anything that involves OC'ing or anything like that just cant really handle it shadedshu

Turn off C'n'Q, TurboCore (if present) & other power saving/auto OC'ing features in BIOS; leave the CPU frequency @ default but raise the following:

CPU multi (ratio, or how is it called on your mobo);
CPU/NB frequency;
RAM voltage;
RAM timings;
HT frequency;
NB/HT voltage;
VDDA voltage (balancing interaction between CPU [over]clock & RAM frequency, i think);
RAM frequency (in this case if it's unstable, better lower it but raise CPU/NB or HT frequency).

What HSF & TIM you got? Also, here's my screen dump of 4.0GHz OC in canardpc:

Not validated, CPU-Z 1.58, but that's cause of 30+ degrees C heat in my appartment

Same clock but almost 2 months before with CPU-Z 1.57

Enjoy & good luck with finding your CPU's highest stable OC.

ok thanks!!

 

[de.das.dude]

hy guys, how much volts for a 2.6ghz HT?

 

[PotatoCat]

umm problem i think
http://valid.canardpc.com/show_oc.php?id=1928142

i did this and my temps right now are 8C higher than before

 

[erocker]

Don't bother. Leave HT at 2ghz.. Unless you like lower performance.

 

[de.das.dude]

ok. :shadedshu

but any explanation?

 

[erocker]

ok. :shadedshu

but any explanation?

Lower performance. Not necessary. Possibly less stability. Aboslutely no need to do it. If you want performance, CPU and CPU/NB are the things to overclock.

1.65v holy crap!! Lower that stuff asap!

 

[PotatoCat]

1.65v holy crap!! Lower that stuff asap!

to what?? 1.3v??

 

[YautjaLord]

2PotatoCaT:

Lower CPU voltage right this moment; even though Xigmatek's HSF is ace those volts reserved for LN2 or liquid cooling with Indigo Extreme!!!!!!!! If you'll leave it like that (at 1.65v) - fine, but don't tell i didn't warned you once you'll smell both base of HSF & CPU.

After that you'll lower the CPU voltage, play with following like this:

CPU frequency=200MHz;
CPU multi=x18/19/20 (small increments);
CPU voltage=1.35 through 1.45v (again, in small increments);
DRAM frequency=1333MHz/1600MHz if just 2 banks filled, but try to leave @ 1333MHz anyway if it causes stability issues;
DRAM voltage/timings=according to what RAM manufacturer suggests as ideal for OC'ing or tweak as you desire;
CPU/NB=2000 thru 2400MHz, so you won't have RAM stability issues; if you want raise it even all the way to 2500MHz;
HT Link frequency=2000MHz 24/7;
VDDA=2.7000v; this one for balance between RAM frequency & CPU's OC, though i might be wrong again;
NB voltage=1.25v;
HT voltage=1.20v.

Your mobo supports DDR3 so playing with those is just as essential as playing with rest of voltages, frequencies & in RAM's case with timings as well, but 1.65v under something other than LN2?????!!!!!!!! Unless you willing to purchase LN2 after all. jk Nevertheless, good luck with the tweaking i gave & try to be gentle when playing with those even though i gave you quite good example; small increments, always small increments. Good luck.

 

[de.das.dude]

heres mine.

probably can push it more. CPU seems stable under intel burnin.
check my NB

i feel so retarded
but thanks for the settings!! with the settings you gave me my load temps (stressed via Prime95) dropped to 48!! thats 10C lower than my previous temps

i didnt have a VDDA option on my BIOS so i didnt do that

here is the CPUID thing

[TheMailMan78]

Yeah man 1.55v is as high as you wanna go. To me thats pushing it.

Hell Im runnin 3.7 on 6 cores and Im only at 1.35v.

yes you should expect a little more temp considering your've gone from 800mhz to 3.4ghz but yes lower your voltage to 1.2-1.4 highest lol 1.6 is a sure fire way to fry your cpu real quick

You welcome & good luck in OC'ing dude (or mate if you from around Europe).

it crosses 35C in my room

 

[de.das.dude]

click my signature pic for the CPU-z validation.

this is stable! my room is 35C ATM and it still passed intels burnin.

somehow i am getting better OC-ing performance with dual channel RAM!

 

[YautjaLord]

it crosses 35C in my room

30/31 degrees C in my room, Petah-Tiqwa, Israel; humidity - 55%. PC doesn't fries itself right off the bat, but it definitelly makes me way more then "just" worried. Air con helps slightly to solve the heat issue both for person & PC; AC & freezing cold shower is.

Gimme 10-15 mins - i'll check it.

*UPDATE*

I know it'll sound repetitive, but switch to AM3+/DDR3 mobo + DDR3 RAM preferrably 1600MHz (seeing Dozer comes out soon): 945/955BE/965BE/etc... are feeling waaayyyy better with such setup; and forgive me if i somehow offend you, but - buy new & improved PSU!!!!!!!!!!! That one is blocking you; i have 1K HX1000W & i'm soon going to replace it by AX1200 by end of August; trust me i'm almost broke as we speak & i'm still going to buy it. Nevertheless, great clock with the setup you got. PSU is your primary replacement & asap. BTW: HX1000W is in my current setup for almost 3 years now; served me with 955BE & this 965BE i got. Three f***ing years & i'm only thinking of replacing it prior to beginning of Doomsd....., erm, 2012. jk Good luck & great OC, man.

yes, i know. but i am broke.

the RAM isnt even mine. its twilyth's. he was kind enough to send me, completely free.
