The Official Core 2 Duo Overclocking Thread

[htkm1]

I don't know if my cpu is a bad OCer or if there's some bios settings I ought to change, but my e6600 (week 24 + p5w dh dlx 1305) fails in orthos after 5 minutes @ 367*9 w/ 1.47V. I had to use 1.42V to get 356*9 8 hrs orthos stable.

At 367FSB my settings were pretty much the same as everyone else, however i'm using auto on MCH and ICH (tried 1.55V on MCH + 1.20 on ICH + 1.47Vcore). 1:1 and SPD by mobo enabled and vdimm at 2.15. With these settings I got ~74C on core 1&2 (everest). At 3.2G I get ~68C. Using SCNJ & Papst fan. I also have a 40mm fan strapped to the NB heatsink.

To sum it up, changing mch/ich/vcore didn't seem to help getting it orthos stable, but could there be something i've overlooked? Shouldn't it be capable of doing more than 3.2G? Any suggestions are welcome.

Did you disable C1E? What Rams are you using? What are the Ram Timings? Try increasing the Ram voltage or losen the Ram Timings.

Disabled C1E and all that stuff (except for Microcode update or whatever it's named). Using Corsair TWIN2XP2048-6400C4, tried auto on SPD - which got set to 5-5-5-18 (at 3.2G I can login fine at 4-4-4-12). Tried increasing ram voltage to 2.15 as well.
