    Re: C2D Overclocking Guide for Beginners

    About Probe, it has a MB temp which seems the same as Speedfans System temp. Is this the Nb temp of the board? And what is regarded a safe/good region?

    The Temps arent for the NB, they are for the motherboard, and the sensor is shown in the pic below. You can reduce the temps by blowing a fan over that area.

    Re: C2D Overclocking Guide for Beginners

    Great thread Clunk - has really helped me out

    One question though... why do you need to turn off EIST, Thermal Control, C1E, etc? I've done as you said and clocked my Q6600 G0 up from 2.4 to 3 GHz now. So what would happen if I turned these power-saving features back on now?

    Re: C2D Overclocking Guide for Beginners

    It is because some people (myself included), find that there can be instability, especially when going for higher clocks.

    If you need the power saving features, try enabling them one at a time to see how you go, and dont forget to stress test each time you change something

And yes im still useing stock cooler for now even if temps are abit high it is rock stable

    Re: C2D Overclocking Guide for Beginners

    Great guide!

    Im pretty new to this scene so I searched for a OC guide and found this one to be the easiest to follow. Thumbs up!

    Now, I followed the guide, did everything accordingly and yet, my computer would NOT OC whatsoever. The BIOS says something while CPU-Z shows the standard setup. Whats the deal?
    Something isn't quite right here. Any ideas?!

    ..and yes: I followed the guide exactly!

    I think Clunk will probably say, that you should post up pics of your BIOS and CPU-Z etc.

    You can use photobucket.com to host your pics, then link to them in here.

    Mind you, if you dont have many posts, that may not work...URL should still be visible though.

    Re: C2D Overclocking Guide for Beginners

    So...you haven't set your RAM's Voltage or timmings (memory Voltage set to AUTO and in the RAM Timmings, says set by SPD)

    Have you disabled Speed Step?

    I'll let Clunk sort you out...if I get too involved I will be out of my depth and pi$$ Clunk off!
