How should I go about OC'ing my E6850?

I have never OC'ed before, I have just played around with old Celeron to push it up slightly. Will I have to use a divider or can I just bump up the FSB to 400Mhz, yielding in a 3.6Ghz OC and having a 1:1 ratio with RAM? Just a little help....


Thanks
 
your processor doesn't have too much potentials to be OCed. as it is already belong to the EXTREME family which means it runs pretty hot. i dont think you can push it all the way to 3.8 but i think you can get them up to 3.4ish but with that processor you don't really need to OC it since its already very fast.

haha.....you know nothing....The E6850 is not Extreme, it has went to 5.13Ghz in the ES's. It is the fastest and most efficient of the Core 2 Duo E-series. Thanks for the time, but no, you are so wrong.
 
I believe all you would need to do is to SLOWLY increase the FSB, and check it and make sure it boots after each increase. And, I'm not sure on the PCI-e bus.
 
Yeah, you'd need to lock the PCI-e bus to 100Mhz, I forgot to do this one time and had to send me 7900GS back :( But I got the 7950GT instead :D
 
wierd, i didnt have to lock anything. the 680i was set to 200mhz i think and the msi p35 was set to 100mhz
 
I didn't have to mess with any of that, I got it to 3.74Ghz, I am scared to go to 4Ghz right now.... 33*C was my temp at 3.74.... Load was 58*C

Thats great! The temps are perfectly fine, as long as your going by the core temps and not the CPU temp.
 
if you wanna get a lower voltage, try raising, yes raising, your ram timings a bit to keep it stable at that voltage...may I ask the point of going past 3.5ghz aside a possibly higher 3dmark score?

also, set your pci-e freq to 100mhz. and you have the same motherboard as me intel, so it automatically sets the FSB 1:1 (whatever fsb you select becomes the fsb of both the cpu and ram.)

PCI-e frequency hasn't moved from 100mhz, it's at 1:1... Look at my CPUMark score 11532, that's why. I haven't ran 3DMark on an OC'ed machine yet...
