Hi guys. I was told i had a good build for ocing. e6600 with as5 paste and zelmen 9700. Gig ds3 moard with ocz 800mhz ram (4 gb's). Anyways i got my e6600 from 2.4 to 3.0 and went to bed for night. In the morning comp booted back to 2.4. Does anyone know how i get it to hold the overclock??

Thanks
 
Did you overclocked through a third party program or through the Bios. The overclock will only be permanent if you overclock through your bios.
 
i did it in bios...left multiplier at 9 and went from 260 somethig to 305ish i think..dont really remember...but did it in bios
 
What are your temps? Did you make sure your memory wasn't getting clocked too high? You may have to bump the voltage up a little on that processor to hit 3.0GHz stable.

That happened to me... I didn't increase the voltage enough.

I'm using a 9 multiplier but @ 340. Voltage is at 1.2480

Temp is at 33c when using the internal and basic programs. :-)
 
What are you using to check your cpu speed? If your using something like CPU-z make sure your doing something to stress the cpu, because you may be seeing what its at at a lower multiplier. Sometimes you hit the fsb at just the right frequency that when it drops the multiplier, it the speed is at the same as the stock settings. Happened on my e6300, i hit the right fsb so when the multi was at 6 it showed 1.8ghz. But when it was stressed and the multi kicked back up to 7 and it was at the right speed.

Might be a long shot, but something worth checking.
 
Yea could not figure out why it got slower when i started overclocking. But i know what your talking about when it backs down the speed to save power i guess. But when i stress the cpu it says 2400mhz.

Using Everest Ulimate edition for temps and cpu speed as well as cpuzid
 
I wonder how do you all get that low temp?
My e6320 oc to @2.333ghz fsb 1333 without changing voltage and the temp that i get is 40c (bios) and 32c (speedfan) well i assume the bios is the most accurate one.
Oh and i use artic cooling freezer 7 pro.

And one more thing, ratio fsb x ram is 1:1, whats this mean? And what is the effect?

I would go by the BIOS reading, but the reading will always be higher in the BIOS because there is more load on the processor since there is no "system idle process" that there is in Windows.

Using a 1:1 ratio means that the RAM is running at the same speed as the FSB, so if your FSB is 400MHz, then your memory is running at 400MHz (800MHz DDR).
 
Ok i understand about that.
About the ratio, it doesnt effect performance right? I mean it only stand for fsb vs ram depend how we adjust it.
 
got my E6600 to hold an overclock for the night. Went into the biaos and turned off the power saving features of the bios and it help my overlcock for the night. Went from 2.4 to 2.79. Now i got more problems to figure out at 2.79 :(
