Overclock Questions

[Geoff]

If the RAM is an issue and is running above stock speed, then raise the RAM to 2.0-2.1v.

If the RAM is an issue and is running above stock speed, then raise the RAM to 2.0-2.1v.

Or drop it to stock speeds or lower to determine your max OC, you can worry about the ram once you know what is stable for your cpu, i recommend this

 

[Kornowski]

I have the RAM the lowest it'll go, 1:1...

Haha! Taylor, you're such a good friend

 

[taylormsj]

What speed is your ram @ 2.7 GHz, cos if its at the lowest divider, and your ram wont go any higher, your overclock is the highest its going

 

[Kornowski]

Well, booted @ 2.7 with stock volts, and +0.1 on the RAM.

That wont heat them up too much will it?

Should be 780, Ive got my ram at a 1:1 with a 400 fsb and its at 800 MHZ, its stock speed.

 

[Kornowski]

My RAM is running @ 760MHz... I think I can get a bit more out of it...

 

[Ramodkk]

Lol, I don't get all this OC'ing stuff, never done it but I'll have to learn for I'm getting the E2160!

I just OC'ed to 2.7Ghz, my temps are fine, 32c idle and 45c load, enough room to carry on, right?

But, OC'ing can't make a game stop responding can it, I mean, Windows was fine, I just had to Ctrl + Alt + Del out of it...

Thanks!

Just don't let your temps get above 55C.

Of course an unstable OC can cause a game to stop responding.

Hmm strange, does that 1.35 v is stock voltage? Even when i dont oc my cpu the bios say that my voltage is 1.35v.
Oh when i turn on the eist the voltage would be 1.25v idle and 1.35v full load.
What is the stock voltage of that cpu, im curious.

 

[Kornowski]

The stock voltage for the CPU is 1.32500

Its fine up to 70

Oops sorry, my mistake.
I see that u increase the core to 2.6ghz, what voltage do u use now? And do u increase the ram alsf?

 

[Kornowski]

My voltage is stock, at 1.32500
I've OC'ed the RAM, Yeah, and added +0.1v to it.

 

[Kornowski]

Bugger!

 

[taylormsj]

HEHE, time for some new ram?

But ive heard there are hidden options in gigabyte P35 board's BIOS, im not sure the key code, alt and F1 i think, i think this lets you do more with memory timings and dividers

 

[Kornowski]

Nah, I'm not getting any new stuff!

I know, it's Ctrl + F1, nothing to make it run slower though!

Would changing the multi help?

 

[taylormsj]

Nope

Unless you find a way of unlocking your E6300 multi and upping it LOL

 

[Shane]

Time for a e8400 danny

 

[Kornowski]

I can change the Multi, but I can't remember what the other options are?

Nah, I'm good with this Shane!
