FAO C2D overclockers..

Can you just take a quick look at this and see if there are any glaring problems?

Just not too sure about the ram frequency and timings.

Well the ratio is 1:1 which is always good.
What RAM have you got? mines got default timings of 5-5-5-15 but i got it to 4-4-4-12 fairly easily

I dont know much about that particular chip... but it looks ok so far. Is the system stable?

Defaults at 5-5-5-15 iirc.. Never messed with timings before so a bit reluctant in case I c**k something up.

It's stable so far but I wanted to check there's no glaring errors before I run Orthos.

I chickened out of overclocking my PC. lol.

Need to do some more reading. Once you're up to speed, is it a fairly simple process to actually change the multipliers etc?

 

[AhmedRSi]

~Yes Laingo.

Cheers pal. Sorry for the Hijack Griff.

No worries..

Make sure the RAM is running atleast 2V

I had to have my first batch of OCZ RAM RMA'd because it was sat at default settings

 

[thecremeegg]

Looks like you got the same RAM as me there Griff. I set the voltage to 2.1V and then put the timings down. If it doesnt like it then it'll just refuse to boot and you'll have to reset the CMOS, not a huge issue.

 

[Griff]

I've upped the Ram voltage and after 40 minutes of Orthos it seems good so far.

Yup its not hard, what motherboard/processor etc have you got?

 

[ollie]

E6600 on a gigabye DS3 iirc

 

[thecremeegg]

Well the 6600 should go up to 3.4-3.6 fairly easy, just need to adjust the FSB and voltage slowly
Give this a read maybe?

Theres lots of peoples experiences with that board and that chip

 

[ollie]

yeah ive got mine runnin at 3.6

 

[thecremeegg]

Good job. What cooling you using on that?

Processor is am intel 6300. No idea bout the rest. lol.
