POST YOUR E6850 with OC PERFORMANCE

[adambomb13]

I currently have my system stable at 4.06Ghz
FSB unlinked
1.45 vCore
1800 FSB
Memory FSB 1250Mhz
Mem v 2.4
North Bridge 1.40

Ambient idle temp -33c

Still looking for better Results especially when I have 900+ for a cooler!!!

ANY SUGGESTIONS????


CPU: Core 2 Duo E6850 batch #L723A943
RAM: 2GB Corsair Dominator 10000
Motherboard: Asus Striker Extreme (bios 1303)
Video card: Evga 8800 GTX Super overclocked version
Hard drives: 3 (750GB Western Digital 7500AAKS in RAID 5)
Power Supply: 750W PC Power & Cooling Quad

I'm a newbie when it comes to OC'ing, would you happen to know or have suggestions for me to get my E6850 OC'd to 4.5Ghz or more?

Thanks anyone for any additional suggestions

i don't know striker extreme. i haven't seen its BIOS. sry!

Raise Vcore to 1.55 and raise ur FSB to 500

And I want a phase unit (will accept free donations )

[adambomb13]

Well so far it looks like air cooling or water is in my situation as good or better then my phase cooling, but thank you for the suggestions.

Please keep the suggestions/advice coming

Thanks

[giorgos th.]

we mortals with air/water give 1.45Vcore...
you with the LS should definately give some more juice...

lol i give 1.55 on air

[adambomb13]

Well you mortals know more then I, because Im unable to unlease the POWER of phase cooling. And trust me my wife doesnt know how much it cost yet so Im safe for now..i think LOL

So your saying im Ok to go to say upto 1.6v on vCore???

at 4.06Ghz my cpu temp idle is -32c

Please keep the advice coming... And actually if anyone wants to call me and baby me through my under overclocking process, please send me a private message.,...

[giorgos th.]

by saying "we mortals" i don`t mean that you are a baby,but that you are in a better position than us by having an LS..
try with 1.5 - 1.55Vcore to see how it`s going..
Cheers..
BTW here is a max freq. shot with 1.65.

[adambomb13]

Im not taking anything personal, I'm calling myself a baby/newbie to the overclocking world....I spent way too much money for my components to only get to 4.06Ghz i think... when I see other posts for 4.5Ghz to 5.3Ghz for an E6850 on water/air.. I just feel frustrated and looking for any help I can get to have my system run at its full potential.

So keep the suggestions/advice and even jokes/humor coming I seriously need it...

Thanks again

Raise Vcore to 1.55 and raise ur FSB to 500

And I want a phase unit (will accept free donations )

if you get more than one donation, you would drop me an e-mail

I would leave memory settings @ optimal for now and just raise vcore to 1.60 and your ldt a bit more and start upping the fsb to at least 4.5 in 100 mhz increments. reboot to windows and another 100 mhz to see how far can you take your cpu. Even if you have to use a divider with your memory to take it out of the equation. I'm not sure how much volts will your board allow you to use but with the LS, man, you should be in good shape.

good luck hope that someone else with the asus board help out a bit.

p.s I've been able to boot and prime 1hr,super pi @ 4.2 ghz on air. but CPU gets way too hot (need your LS)

[rsnt]

i would lower your vdimm , 3.1v is well high for the mhz its doing,

also HT(SPP-MCP) volts could go down abit to around 1.5-1.6v.

lol you really think I'd be able to boot with that high vdimm? if not blast my memory out of the board :p For some reason, many/most of the monitoring software around report weird temps and mainly voltages. and I think SPP-MCP was removed a few BIOS updates ago on my board.

[rsnt]

I'm getting pretty much the same results as you are (3.8G with bios 1.35v). There was a mistake on my order and I'm forced to run a stock Intel cooler until the Vindicator arrives. Impressed with my E6850 (L723A047). Post some screenies here tomorrow.

I couldn't get mine 3.6 stable at that voltage it took 1.45v to get it stable. I have the L719B095 and I wish I could've got my hands on a 20A - 23A but oh well...

you'd be suprised, 3 plus volts is do-able to boot, cause you said its your first go at overclocking, thought i'll mention it, my bad

I got the L718A190 batch and is not so bad thus far

please give link to 4.5 or 5.3 on water or air LOL. My 6850 needs 6+ volts to be stable at 4 gig so i dont think 5.3 is possible and 4.5 has no chance to be stable with regular water. Im using chilled water at 10c and my cooling system is barely holding good temps. Dont believe everything you read brother.

[rsnt]

Really? wait right... for some reason I totally forgot that most high end memory default around 2.3 or so. My bad then lol

[rsnt]

I dunno but it seems that anything with A's in them overclock a bit better. I even remember seeing a 19A that overclocked pretty good.

you asked for comments, i mentioned it, nothing more.

Latest update: Unable to keep 4.06Ghz stable

I have tried dropping the RAM out of the picture and un-linking the FSB. I cant even get 4.06Ghz stable anymore
I have tried:
FSB unlinking
Tried CPU FSB 18000
Tried MEM FSB 800
Tried vCore from 1.35 to 1.65v
Tried Mem v (Corsair tech suggested 2.4v) 2.4 to 2.425v
Tried Mem settings 5,5,5,18 Trcd 24
Tried Mem at 800 FSB and all mem settings at Auto
Tried HT 1.2 1.25v
Tried NB 1.40 to 1.55v
Tried SB 1.55
Tried Vtt 1.25
Tried disabled SLI Memory
Tried disabled all the spread spectrum settings
LDT Frequency I dont know what that is but I have the options 1-8x (5x default)

I think Im missing something. Do you think I should kill my RAID 5 and re-format so that I can use the SATA controller (stability)???

I'm at the point of returning my $900.00 Vapochill LS and accepting stock settings.

Thanks for all the help so far, please keep it coming

Well I've been playing around with my e6850, it's a L720A696 SLA9U stepping
4ghz rock stable @ 1.52 vcore <---- that's my 24/7 speed.

Unfortunately my GA-P35-DS3 undervolts, I've selected 1.6v in bios which gives 1.54 under normal circumstances and 0.03v vdroop with both cores loaded results in 1.51v

[michaLcoughliN]

Im still on air. so old sk00l :p ahh its good enough for me. that extra 200mhz wont really improve much. the only thing i can see it doing is making it hotter in my room :o hehehe

[Infa]

Ive got mine to 4.1 stable 1.65v. around 58c in Load...

Max is more then 4.320Ghz, Vcore 1.78.
Im pretty satisfied until wolfdale
