Help Me With My OC

[Joe2005]

Greetings wise people at CF, I have yet another question.

I just got my new rig (see sig) wednesday and I already OC it to 2.8GHz, my problem is that I can't get it over that without becoming unstable.

I think it's because I can't (or havent figured out how to) up my voltage, or my temps are too high.

The temp is 39 at load and the voltage is at 1.344.

Is there any tips you can give me, or is this the limit of my chip?

Try setting your ram lower, lower your HT multiplier link and up volatge more

HT multiplier?

And I can't figure out how to up my voltage, any tips? (is it in the same menu as the multiplier thingy?)

We dont know what your BIOS looks like so we cant answer that, just look trhough the whoole of your BIOS, if you cant find it, its not there, if so, unlucky

I just looked I have a multiplier (13x now) and the fsb (215 now) but no voltage control, unlucky me. Anyway another question.

If I put the multiplier down the fsb has to increase by queit a bit to maintain the OC, is it safe to jump the fsb that much as long as the total OC dosen't increase much, or do I have to baby step it up like I was doing?

You dont want to touch your multiplier yet you want to touch you HT multiplier and change it to 4 or 3

Ok I see what I can do, I'll report back in a while.

 

[Joe2005]

I can't find the HT multiplier like you were talking about.

This is what I have




The HTPLL control all it has is Auto, Low Speed, and High Speed.

Bump

 

[taylormsj]

Do none of those options have 5, 4,3,2,1 and auto in the drop down menus?

That is correct.

I've done a little research and came to the conclusion my motherboard isn't really for OC just a little tweaking. Anyways thanks for all your help.

instead of opening a new thread i have a question, can i overclock my computer over 3.0ghz and still keep intel speed step on to save power

also what that math thing you do again to overclock to know how much to set the fsb

 

[MixedLogik]

Yes, but if your looking for performance, that isn't also good. That stuff will lower your clock spped during idle times, but it will increase the life of your processor.

You mean this for the math formula
Example - You set your fsb to 200 then your multiplier to 10 then 200 x 10 you get 2000mhz = 2.0ghz
FSB ---------------Multiplier
200 x 10 - 2000mhz(2ghz)
250 x 7 - 1750mhz(1.75ghz)
300 x 12 - 3600mhz(3.6ghz)

I think that is what you mean...

ya if get to 3.6 would the mhz what should i set the voltages to

 

[taylormsj]

We cant tell you what volateg to use cos its different for every mothebroard etc...

However for that i reckon youd need 1.5 V

I dont know what the multiplier is highest on the Q6600 but you could try for

400 x 9 to get 3.6

450 x 8

515 x 7
