Hey everyone,
I've taken a long break from overclocking, my last rig was a Barton 2500+
and a NF7-S.. here is my new rig, if you guys can give me some tips
on what I can do with this setup, please share:
Setup:
Case:
Antec Performance One P180B Black Case
Power Supply:
Corsair HX Series CMPSU-520HX 520W Power Supply Retail
Motherboard:
Gigabyte GA-965P-DS3 LGA 775 Intel P965 Express Retail
CPU:
Intel Core2Duo E6550 Conroe 2.33Ghz LGA 775 Retail
Memory:
OCZ 2GB Kit DDR2 PC2-6400 Platinum Revision 2 Dual Channel Memory Retail
Video Card:
Geforce 8800GTS 320MB GDDR3 PCI Express x16 Retail
HDD:
Seagate Barracuda (Perpendicular Recording Technology) 320GB 7200 RPM 16MB Cache SATA 3.0Gb/s Hard Drive OEM
I hope I attached the image correctly.
All the voltages are stock. (Vcore=1.3375, Vdimm=1.9)
Stock intel hsf with the factory thermal pad..
It seems that my ram is what is limiting this overclock. I have to relax
the timings to 5-5-5-15 since all the fsb/mem dividers that are available
are with the memory at a higher frequency. (No option for me to run
the ram at a lower speed than the cpu with this motherboard.)
Note also that a 2.0v voltage on the ram wont let me run 4-4-4-
timings with ram freq that much higher than stock..
I'm surprised that I can keep the stock voltage and o/c a bit, but
it seems to be running really hot (54C core temps, and 62C cpu temp
as reported by Speedfan.)
I thought this ram should overclock well (the stock timings should be
4-4-4-15), any ideas?
