I see , do u experience also the same? It is just small FFTs , blend runs fine. CPU loads 100% however it divide a apart of the load to "system". Just cant figure out what this system load is, since I just opened p95 nothing elseQuote:

Found my 24/7: 4.1 @ 1.5v (real)
Q6600 L737B
idles around 35-38 and never tops 68c at full load (small ffts)
ran and hour of small ffts now I'm priming away on the blend test... 1 hour in
couldn't be happier :D

Very nice. Congrats on a good chip!Quote:

easiest way is to hit printscreen key and open up microsoft paint. Then hit control+v and save file as a jpeg. then upload to photobucket. hope this helps.Quote:

Hi Everyone!
Following you will see my results with everything set on auto in the bios.
I would like to bump up the FSB to1600 and my mem to 3-3-3-10. So far I have been to chicken to do so, The CPU cost me 1000.00$, and I am afraid to kill it.
The Kingston specs for my mem are:
KHX6400D2ULK2/2G are 5-5-5-18@1.8v and 3-3-3-10@2.3-2.35v I am afraid because this board tends to overvolt.
Does anyone have any suggestions, I am new at OC.

Thank you in advance
I was able to lower my timings without having to up mem voltages.

Still scared to up my FSB without help from you experts. :confused:
Your advice on bios setings would be heslfull, want to bump up to 1600 FSB.
hi, need some help setting up raid here, i have 2 raptor x hdd, when i set the sata mode as raid then i wont be able to see both drive after i save and exit from the bios, i try to press on Ctrl + I but i dont see the Intel Matrix Storage manager screen as well...is there something that i missed??
Why does it say your NB is an X48?? on a Maximus Formula:confused:Quote:

Don't feel bad, I have a B3 1.3125 VID. :)
That is the best my ram can do with 450x8. 1200mhz 5-5-5-12 SRC enabled, AI light, TB enabled Lvl0. I tried 4-4-4-15 and 5-5-5-10 but it doesn`t boot right.
I tested that settings with Memtest(pic) and came to about 500% coverage without any errors. Does sb. use Memtest, can I trust in or does OCCT "ram" find errors, Memtest doesn`t find? Should I trust Memtest and go on with reducing VCore for this settings, or would you test with OCCT to be sure?
Here is the pic:

hey espiso:) I would use memtest86+ 1.70 and then either OCCT or Prime blend for 24/7 tests.
Tested with OCCT "ram" over night to be sure and 10,5h without errors :)

Hey folks, new Q6600 and Maximus Formula owner here that could use a little help in overclocking this beast. I'm new to Intel overclocking being an old skool AMD guy so whatever advice you can give will be read, dissected, disseminated and read again ;-)
Ok, on to the good stuff.. Runnin a Q6600 G0. Don't know the L73x codes as I'm here at work but I have that info at home. Maximus Formula 1.03g mb. Ballistix PC8500 ram. Memory is set at DDR2-800 with auto timings of 5 5 5 18 as I was trying to rule out memory as a limiting factor.
I can't seem to go any faster then 3.6 ghz. When I do try to go faster I can boot to windows but OCCT crashes 5 seconds in with a "Code 1" error. Prime crashes immediately as well. Sometimes the crash will cause a reboot, sometimes it will not.

That might be about the limit for your cpu.:shrug:
That is completely possible however being an Intel overclocking n00b, I'm hoping some of the people here will have some ideas for me to try.Quote:

When referring to the cpu volts, are you talking just cpu or cpu + cpu pll? What utility can I use to read the cpu pll as Everest doesn't seem to show it?Quote:

I was planning on overclocking the ram but haven't gotten that far. As for the volts on it, I was under the assumption that 2.2volts was stock for Ballistix ram. I'll have to check that out as well.
Do all of my other settings look good?
Thanks!
