I cant get my q6600 to boot and stay stable past 2.8ghz any help
Hi all im new to hexus this seem like a realy helpful site and groupe of people
right my problem is i have a
abit in9 32 max
2gb ocz 1066 reaper changing the ram for 4gig of ocz sli 800
q6600
bfg 8800 gtx
ect.....
but i can get the a decent overclock i can get to 2.8 stable. ut the max is 1320 which is 2.95 or just over i just need to be able to clock it at 3ghz so i can run my new ram in sync any 1 had this problem
if it is not possaible to get to 3 would i be best stick to 2.8 and 622 ram speed with my new ram.
any help or to get the fastest speed out of my computure would be most welcom.
thanks in advansted David

Drop the multiplier and increase FSB?

Doubt it will work as 680i isn't great for fsb overclocking without the GTL mod & that's why he's having the problem in the first place imo.
Slightly confused though as most people refer to 1:1 as being in synch which afaik he should be able to do if running linked.
If he means run his RAM at rated speed at 1:1 with CPU that would need 400fsb which he won't get with that CPU/mobo combo.
Can run memory unlinked on nForce though.
Re: I cant get my q6600 to boot and stay stable past 2.8ghz any help
what is the GTL mod is it easy to do or any advice where to get help would that run it at 3.0ghz to 800 ram 1.1
thanks for your help

the abit forums link in Buff's sig is probably the best abit technical forum on the web

No, it's not easy & I'm not sure that 1 even exists for the IN9 32X.

I'm still confused as I can't see how you can run a Q6600@3.0GHz & 1:1 & have the RAM at DDR2 800.
Q6600@ 3.0GHZ (assuming that your setup can do it) & 1:1, yes (RAM would be at DDR2 667).
Q6600@ 3.0GHZ (assuming that your setup can do it) & DDR2 800, yes (wouldn't be 1:1).
Just not all 3 together ... :confused:
Re: I cant get my q6600 to boot and stay stable past 2.8ghz any help
Right i get it. its me not thinking right at 3ghz the ram would be at 667 right.
in that case which 1 would be better
2.4 to 800(Stock well nearly)
or
2.8 to 622 (Overclocked 1.1)
or is there any other that are better than these(heat is not a problem so can run 1.2 2.3 or wateve is the fastest)
thanks david
and should i stop with vista 32 or move to 64bit
32 will use 3 - 3.5 gigg of ram then use the rest for graphics
64 will use all 4 gigg and do wat for me.
which 1 is better any advice Thanks david

What memory divider options does the motherboard have?

the extra core clock will almost certainly be better than th eslightly higher freq RAM

32-bit it will use a large chunk of the 4th GB for addressing.
In 32-bit any 1 app can only use 2GB.
With 64-bit you have to check that your apps can run 64-bit & that drivers are available for ypur devices.
Re: I cant get my q6600 to boot and stay stable past 2.8ghz any help
I would just get the FSB as high as you can stably then play around with the ram divider latencies etc.
FSB being high is a good prerequisite to a fast system though.
Re: I cant get my q6600 to boot and stay stable past 2.8ghz any help
the mem decider can be set to anything. Its unlinked, right I have it stable at 2.7999 so 2.8 what would be the best ram speed in theory my new ram comes 2moz so I don't have to mess around guesting at it I'm using my Ipod phone to write this its so cool and easy if any1 can help it would make my life slot Easyer thanks david
