The Official Intel Core 2 Duo Conroe Overclocking Thread

[BrownGhost]

Wow, dude help me reach that GHZ

Post your Conroe clocks here.

Conroe E600

Kempez:

Conroe E600 Retail: 3.6GHz (400 x 9) @ 1.65vcore, 1.6vmch , 1.4v FSB

Conroe E6600 Retail: 3.375GHz (375 x 9) @ 1.55vcore, 1.4v FSB, 1.6vmch

Wow, can you help me out im stuck at under 3 Ghz

Here is my setup

CPU Rate 9x

CPU Host ENABLED

CPU HOST FREQ 333

PCI-E 100

CIA2 DISABLED

Sys mem multiplie 2,66

DRAM TIMING Manuel

CAS 4

RAS TO CAS 4

RAS PRE 4

TRAS 12

ACT ACT DEL Auto

RANK WRITE 10

WRITE TO PREC 10

REFRESH TO ACT 0

READ to PRE 10

MEMORY PERF Normal

DIMM OVERV 0,200

PCI-E OVERV Normal

GMCh OVERV 0,10

FSB OVERV 0,10

CPU OVERV 1,400

Super PI: 1 MB Test 17.188 V 1.4 ? V 1.5

MHZ CPU 2,997

MHZ RAM CPUZ 888 Mhz In bios 886 Mhz

This is not stabel for gaming

My goal is 3.4 GHZ

and stabel for gaming also

Can you tell me where im not doing it right ?

 

[FragTek]

Divide your RAM and loosen up your timings a bit, that should do the trick.

 

[BrownGhost]

thanks, but im not thet god at this.

its the first time i overclock a PC

so i need a bit more help

what settings is it i have to change and to what ?

thanks

set your bootstrap to 1066 and ram speed to ddr533 which equates to a divider of 1:1. then try ur memory timings at something like 5.5.5.15. now try raising ur fsb. adjust ur vcore, vdimm, and chipset voltages accordingly.

 

[BrownGhost]

i see you dont have the same board as i do.

Gigabyte has settings in a driffrent way then you.

a need some one thet has the same board as me to help out

Thanks tho..

sorry dont under stand, bootstrap ?

and ddr533 ??

here is my latest setup.

worked long time to find thise settings, those are stabel.

but im not sadisfyid whit it.

3.400 i want it to run as a minimum stabel.

Bios Settings OK:

Alright here are my new 24/7 settings with the E6600....

3.7ghz @ 1.55vcore (412FSB 1:1 @ 4-4-4-12)

^ First shot taken before end of test to prove clocks @ which test was run at.

^ And the completion, yay!

I can get it to run fine @ 3.8ghz same voltage but it gives me an error about half way through a 32mb SPi test More voltage fixes it but I'd like to stick within some decent guidelines for aircooling.

 

[FragTek]

We really need to get PV's, Jim's, and everyone elses overclocks posted here so we can get em added to the first post. Anyone rockin' the C2D, post up your overclocks with proof and some numbers so we can add ya!

 

[mrapoc]

i need to do my e6300 soon

 

[Kougar]

Guess I'll throw mine in. Evidence is in my sig... Haven't had time to tweak the Vcore down as I just got the rig rebuilt and the new F7 BIOS made any OC above 476FSB unstable, so I'm going to retry the F6.

I can't remember what the stock MCH voltage is for 965P chipsets, but I only had it notched up one setting with "+0.1v" as the BIOS setting. FSB Overvoltage and PCIe voltage were both at stock. I did have to add a small fan to the MCH heatsink after I removed the Zalman 7700Cu I'd previously been using. These chips are just amazing... I can run 3.33ghz (476FSB) with only 1.356 vCore on the CPU, any BIOS revision even.

E6300 1.86ghz @ 3.5ghz w/ Scythe Ninja

Gigabyte GA-965P-DS3

Corsair XMS2 2x1gb 800mhz @ 1ghz 5-5-5-15 2.1v

Antec NeoHE 550watt

The new nVidia 680i boards will do 2,000 to 2,100 on the Front Side Bus, and even with some good quality 4mb cache chips! They are making the DS3 and P5B look just average... Only issue is at these speeds any weak component can hold the system back from hitting the 2k FSB overclock.

 

[FarFarAway]

So that's 3.5 GHz 500 x 7, 1.375v??

 

[Kougar]

Ah, sorry I'm not THAT good!! The Gigabyte SysMonitor panel is showing the correct Vcore, 1.47v for the 501FSBx7 overclock. I think it would be interesting to try watercooling... the chip only needs 1.356v to reach 3.33ghz, but after that it gets to hot to stay stable without exponentially increasing the juice.

 

[FarFarAway]

OK cool changed

 

[Mr. Smith]

Well, it's nothing special, I am stuck at 3.3GHz, I can boot in at 3.4/3.5 but it won't prime. I'll keep working on it...

Clock Speed: 3,302mhz

FSB: 367mhz x 9

Mem. Timings: 4-4-4-12

CPU Voltage: 1.450v

Mem. Voltage: 2.3v

Load Temp: 48*c

Cooling: Custom Water

SuperPi 1mb: 15 Seconds

 

[Kougar]

And that is with watercooling?? If I might suggest, make sure ya have a 1:1 ratio going and notch the MCH voltage up. Usually 975X boards have to have the chipset voltage raised almost in a 1:1 fashion as you raise the FSB as they get near to or past the 400FSB mark.

Howdy, & thanks! Almost didn't recognize ya for a second there...

Yup, I have to run mine @ 2.0v in the BIOS to get anywhere past 400.

I'm not sure what is defined as evidence but I have CPU-Z Validated

It has been running for near 2months now without any problems.

CPU: E6400

Stepping: 6

Revision: B2

FPO/BATCH#: L627A722

VCore: 1.35(actual reading) set to 1.375 in BIOS

Cooling: Freezer 7 Pro

MOBO: Asus P5W-DH

RAM: 2Gb G.Skill 6400 CAS4

RAM Timings: 4-4-4-12

RAM Voltage: 2.1

BUS: 400x8

Idle Temp: 36°C (speedfan)

Load Temp: 45°C (speedfan)

RAM hits 450 on 4-4-4-12 using a different divider but I seem to be limited by the mobo on 1:1

 

[FarFarAway]

I've got the same problem on my P5W DH.

And ye dual prime for a couple of hours or a dual SP32m run

 

[Kougar]

Strange... guess the 975X chipset isn't as OC friendly as I thought it was under those boards. No shortage of much more OC friendly chipsets now though.... Just a random thought, but could it be a memory issue? Such as I've heard Micron D9's kill overclocks by up to 100FSB with the Gigabyte DS3...
