Basic Overclocking Guide for Intel Core 2 Duo Processors

[tinytomlogan]

Hi guys, new to this thread.

But i just wanted to ask you all about the vcore, i have no idea on vcore, on my bios settings, its manual, but im oc on

p5ne-sli

E8400 3.0ghz, oc to 3.3ghz - stock cooler

2gb of ddr2 ram

im getting stupidly high temperatures, i did give my system a super clean, and re applied thermal paste.. but why is it so hot?

ive heard people getting like 3.6 with stock cooler @ high 60's, low 70's (c)

to try and help the situation, ive just ordered a h50, and i hope that will get it up a bit more. >.<

so is it my vcore voltage? if so how on earth do i figure it out? >.< ive heard people say like 1.35v... but i dont want to risk breaking my system, as im still in school, and cant afford to fork out on a cpu.

Quick and simple answer dude, you need a new cpu heatsink.

I agree with Tom. Also get some extra cooling on the NB and SB. I have this board and when ocing it gets pretty toasty.

Have to wait till I finish work to get at my data. more later.

yeah i heard about the nb and sb getting stupidly hot, with any oc'ing. Could you recommend some cooling solutions as i know that the gpus block the one of the bridges (south) isnt it?

Thanks.

thought that was the case.

Would you say the h50 would do the job up to 3.6?

and my voltage is all ok, yeah?

Cheers!

Oh thank you. I was looking for this about 5 days ago and coulnt find it. Big help...........

 

[marsey99]

so close to getting +2ghz out of it

Can't believe there are so little C2D overclock's added!

I was looking for some advice on my new E7500 to run alongside my Phenom 2.

Anyone know anywhere I can get some tips. I completely new to C2D overclocking!

Ended up moving to Intel 775 for now. Got myself a Q6600 up to 3.6Ghz @ 1.45v. Seems the norm for this chip. I see the last post was also mine, it's been a while! Is no-one using 775 anymore !?!?!

 

[marsey99]

im still kicking it 775 style dude but tbh its all been done and said so not much that needs updating you know.

add these to the one above

what board do you have your q66 in mate?

Asus P5K-E P35 board so not overly overclockable. I'm happy with the performance though. Nice to speak with you as well by the way. I use the same username on the Aria forums and have seen you on there.

hi there everyone i know this is probably gonna sound stupid but where is the actually overclocking guide? every time i click the link it takes me to what i can only assume is the first few post after where the guide should be

nvm i just found it

 

[ozzy]

ok one question what is safe oc voltage for ddr3 and is it possible to oc ram past 1333mhz on the g41 platform?

Feel free to discuss this article here! Happy overclocking.
