Baby OC

yeah! I get it a lot more now, thanks guys!

So I have one hypothetical situation, tell me if it works:

FSB: 400 Mhz
Bus Speed: 2000Mhz
Multiplier:8
RAM Speed: 400Mhz
Core Speed:3200MHZ
Divider: 1:1
Vcore: (very slightly adjusted as needed)

Would this situation work?
Like for the end result of OCing a Core 2 Duo after long hours of slowly building it up to this?

Why wouldn't it work if it didnt?


Oh yeah, and whats CMOS?

jet i edited that out after understanding what you had meant.

and the bus should be 1600 (400x4=1600)

the CMOS jumper just clears the bios settings and replaces stock settings if you cant boot after a overclock

and honestly dont slowly build up the whole thing, do like half of ur planned oc in one step then take the rest slow (thats what i do, i dont see a reason when c2d overclock so well)

Why? It is best to take it "slow". I recommend a 5-10Mhz bump each time until it doesn't work, then 3-5Mhz, etc. You can raise Voltage and such then, but take it slow! Better to be cautious now than sad later!
 
nothing bad can happen by raising the fsb. you can set it to 800, nothing will happen except you will have to reset cmos. I say go half first ;) , but im lazy :D

dont waste ur time oc'ing tediously, you could have worked the extra hours and bought better hardware, ORRR if you enjoy it that much go ahead :)

I'd rather "waste" my time with getting a good overclock that waste my time regretting what I'd done :)

That hypothetical situation would be a good overclock, however, the Intel Core 2 Duo has a 7X multiplier instead of an 8X, so it wouldn't be quite as good as you said.
 
Read the OC Guide, PLEASE! Your CPU limit is when you have tried fiddling with all the settings to get it to pass stability tests, but nothing you do works. Therefore, you have just passed your limit by a few FSB MHz.

Wait, the Intel Core 2 Duo has a set and locked multiplier at 7x? You cant change it?

i believe the higher end C2D's have unlocked multipliers (someone confirm)... but for the low-end ones have locked ones...

E6300 = 7x multi (upwards locked)
E6400 = 8x multi (upwards locked)
E6600 = 9x multi (upwards locked)
E6700 = 10x multi (upwards locked)
X6800 = 11x multi - unlocked
