Over Clocking Time.

[g4m3rof1337]

Now that I got a CPU cooler, I want to over clock. I was thinking of getting past 2GHz, and staying stable there.

I was talking to Kornowski, and he told me the basic outlines, but then said to double check everything.

Set the RAM divider to 1:1
Set all the voltages from Auto to Manual and set the vCore to 1.325, this is stock for the C2D's
Leave Multiplyer at x9
Disable EIST and C1 (Double check these!)
Lock the PCI-e express @ 100Mhz
If you've got PCI stuff, lock @ 33Mhz (Again, I'd double check this!)

Just start increasing the FSB, like 20 a time, when you reach 300FSB, increase it by 5 each time.

Everytime you increase it, boot into Windows and check the temps.

I wouldn't raise the vCore at all! But! If you do find yourself wanting to go higher, you can bump it up a little, but expect your temps to rise!

It makes sense to me, but like he said, I am double checking this.


Thanks.

You can jump to 2GHz easily! Try going up in incraments of 10Mhz on the FSB until it's either unstable or won't boot. Then up the voltage by a very little bit and try again, keep upping the voltage as little as you can until it's stable then go ahead again with the FSB. But definately keep the PCI & PCI-E buses locked.

Are they locked by default?


Thanks.

Are they locked by default?


Thanks.

They should be but I would double check in your BIOS.

 

[g4m3rof1337]

Alright.

Is what Kornowski mentioned good, was he on target?



Thanks.

Alright.

Thanks.

Yes he is right on target.

Yep sounds good but 2.0 GHz is nothing, you could get 3 out of your chip if you tried.

I tried overclocking in BIOS, it was confusing, so I tried looking for an Intel chipset overclocking program, but ClockGen isnt able to be downloaded.

 

[g4m3rof1337]

Alright, Kornowski told me some other stuff to do. Should I update my BIOS?

 

[g4m3rof1337]

OK.
I followed a guide, that I later found out was for an E6400 already set to 2.13GHz, taking the CPU to 3GHz.

I did what it said, saved the BIOS information, booted up normally.

Windows Vista and CPU-Z, say E6300 1.86GHz.

Is it still at 1.86? Anything going to happen in the near future? I have a LAN party tomorrow, so.

Edit.

I reset my BIOS, nothing was originally clocked, but everything is back to normal.


Thanks.

CPU-Z will say [email protected] but under that next to "Core Speed" it will tell you your actual speed.

 

[g4m3rof1337]

Alright.
Cause when I over clocked, my Core Speed was like 2600MHz or something, now that I reset my BIOS, its 1600MHz now.

I'll over clock tomorrow.

Thanks.
