proposed E6750 system - advice please

[daveharnett]

Hi there. This is my proposed system:

- Antec P182
- Corsair HX620W
- GigaByte GA-P35C-DS3R
- C2D E6750
- OCZ 2x1GB PC2-6400 Platinum CL4
- XFX 8800GTS 320MB Extreme ED

The plan is for a modest overclock: Set the clock to 400-420, 1:1 memory timings, which should result (if my maths is correct) in a 3.2-3.3Ghz core speed.

Am i correct in my belief that this should be managable with stock voltages and cooling?
Any other comments or criticisms are welcome.
Thanks

That all looks fine. You would get away with the 520w version of the psu but both are good.

I'm not a big fan of gigabyte but that boards seems to do quite well. I'd personally use the abit IP-35/pro

The IP 35 is superb! I have it in a very similar setup.

I think that the gigabyte bios (if its similar to the 965 ds3) is a bit strange. It does overclock but i think its probs better to go with something like the IP35 or the P5K

I've got no problems at all with the bios on my 965 ds3, it's a really stable board

I know but setting ran dividers and stuff is all slightly different... or have i just missed it out?

You know I don't think I've ever set a ram divider ???

well i managed to get 2.66 out of a E6320... which is ok i guess but seeing as i bought geil pc6400 ultra low latency i was hopin to push it more but i wasnt completely sure what i was doing so at that i left it seeing as it was stable

I got 3 GHz out of my E4300, if I h ad better cooling she'd go higher.

Remember to get a good HSF to replace the stock one when you overclock.

Ah, a reference to my original question! So, you think a proper cooler, even for a fairly small oc?

[staffsMike]

For the silence more than anything. Stock cooler isn't very good and is loud.

No point having an antec p182 and that cooler imo.

Im using AC freezer pro.

Decided to have another crack at it see if i can push it a bit further

[daveharnett]

by the way, does anyone know if i'll need extention cables to connect the psu to the mobo?

[staffsMike]

no you won't need extension cables they couldn't be more perfect for the p182

I'm still using the stock Intel cooler and so far have had no problems at all.
