The Conroe Overclocking Thread

ye it sucks really, people who got the cheaper boards not only have higher FSB and higher overclocks but get more bios support as well... Next time I'll know

My OCZ runs fine at 1050MHz (Gold XTC PC6400) as long as I knock the timing down by one.

At rated timings I can run it at 933MHz fine.

Here's mine.

I have mine @ 890MHz 4-4-4-12 2.2v (356*9)....

Right, so i have my E6600 and the other stuff in my spec (plus Freezer 7 pro) and i would maybe like to overclock to around the 3ghz mark.

Thing is i have no idea about overclocking, not the first clue. I don't really have time to learn as i'm going back to final year of uni next week so time will be spent on work. So I'm wondering how easy is it? Does anyone know a step by step guide to tell me EXACTLY how to oc my E6600 (maybe one of you with E6600 and P5B could walk me through it, if it isnt too hard

), or do you really need to spend time reading about it before trying?

Cheers!

i have e6600 and p5b, and i posted bios shots of all my settings further back in this thread...have a go with those and see how you go, and get the latest bios first

I'm stuck

The BIOS i got from ASUS website was 0509, but i know you have the P5B deulxe right Clunk? There's a newer BIOS for that, but not for my regular P5B.

On the your pic you have changed the CPU Frequency from 260 to 370. I've changed all the other options but it doesn't allow me to change the CPU frequency, if i click on it no list appears. Also, you changed the DRAM Freq. to 740 (which i don't get really since my ram is 800

) whereas mine doesn't have 740 listed.

One final thing, is it ok to be changing the "clocks" of the RAM to the same numbers as you put since it's different RAM to what you have?

Sorry if this stuff is obvious but i dunno

Cheers mate.

What kind of bandwidth you getting in sandra.....mine best is 8k.

**dancingmatt** · 22-09-2006, 06:54 PM

Just a note that the Geil 2GB PC6400 4-4-4-12 is on Overclockers.co.uk's This Week Only for about £180

Not as good as when they first offered it (when I paid around £130) but I gather this is a good price for it.

Kev, if you have your Geil ram at 890fsb and your using a p5W-DH can you tell me what divider you're using & also bios revision. Most of us can only run those timings if the cpu is kept under 350 mhz, otherwise you have to run the ram set at spd. Anything over 350 and the Asus throws a wobbly blows the ram out

i.e. On my system the cpu is at 2.9gh (7x420mhz) and the ram is at 420fsb 1:1 but spd has to be enabled which means timings of 5,6,6,18

This is with bios 1101 which it seems happiest with. Also I have to say in my experience the best/most compatable memory for this board is Corsair XMS2 5400C4 as it has EPP which seems to help the board detect the correct spd settings & doesn't cause wierd overclocking issues with the ram divider.

C'mon then guys lets get this thread going again with some super pi scores....my pb is 13.5 will add a pic later.

Here's my pb atm.

**spazman** · 14-10-2006, 01:00 PM

My best so far, any higher and it crashes

**D-BEAR** · 15-10-2006, 12:28 PM

Not bad spazman...have you tried dropping the multi to 8x?.

**weebroonieuk** · 15-10-2006, 01:29 PM

so any of the core 2 duo's hitting 4ghz on watercooling yet ?

i will eventually get one, or even one of those quadcore bad boys although they are pretty power hungry but i think they still consume less than my opteron 165 @ 2.8ghz

If you work it out the way people on XS are working it out, im hitting 4.3, but if you work it out "normally", the highest ive hit is 3.7 1:1 and im sure my ram is the limiting factor there.

some info here.
