P5n-d q6600 overclock

pls HELP?????? ive got an
asus p5n-d mobo
ETREAME custom colling
q6600
2 x 1gig kingston (but dont want to mess with that)
nVida 9800gt
500w psu

I want to get this thing to 3GHz

im useing:

fsb 1333
multiplyer 9
vcore 1.30625
HT 1.3
SB 1.3
NB 1.5

These work allright but ownly last for about 25min on prime 95.
Im to scared to raise the vcore any more.

Can some one plz give me some stable volages? i have also heard that if you want your pc to run faster than normal you must up your FSB and lower your multiplyed. some advice on that?

(Thanks so much in advance)

You need more Vcore. As long as you don't exceed Intel's voltage and thermal specification, you're OK. Be sure to run Small FFT's, not Blend.

From Intel's Processor Spec Finder - http://processorfinder.intel.com/d [...] Spec=SLACR

Q6600 G0

Vcore Max = 1.5v
Tcase Max (CPU temperature) = 71c
Tjunction (Core temperatures) = 76c

Thanks

I'll try that and tell you how it goes.

Also make sure your ram was not pushed past its speed. Some boards can do that when overclocking(they select the memory multiplier at stock speed then do not drop it when overclocking).

Last off, Nvidia chipsets on Intel quad core cpus do not always tend to overclock nice(the combination, not the parts on there own).

ok so what do u guys think will be a stable Vcore? and i have also heard that if you want your pc to run faster than normal you must up your FSB and lower your multiplyed. some advice on that?

Shot dudes!!!!

I have my vcore at 1.25 for 3.2, but it was not stable due to massive V-droop. One mod later, all good. That said, 1.25 was stable at 3.0 with drops down to 1.18 most of the time at load

Every CPU is different so i can not say what the best Vcore is for you. Keep an eye on the temps(use the core2 temp guide posted above in comps sig)

As for dropping the Multi, Its kind of up to you. With a higher FSB and lower multi, the cpu will be faster at the same speed(on some apps). So 355fsb x 9 = ~3.2 is a bit slower then 400fsb x 8 = ~3200. The down side, this also pushes the board harder(may need more voltage for your chipset). So it depends on what your board can take. I do not have your board to test, but i know my friends Nvidia chipset with a Q6600 does not clock well at all, but it may just need some more tweaks.

@ comp, i am around
Send me a pic of that dual fan S1283 please, this i have to see. I was looking at that cooler(my 3.6 temps are just way too hot).

Here ya go ... Antec 900 with a Xigmatek HDT-S1283 modified for push-pull fans. Left is rear:

Precise measurements and markings, a drill, Dremel Tool, fine snips, flat jewelers file, a little "Ye Olde Worlde Kraftsmanshipe", and 4 extra rubber fan-mount grommets from a Xigmatek HDT-SD964, (which is already tooled for push-pull), and PRESTO! ... an HDT-S1283 that looks like Xigmatek designed it with push-pull fans! :sol:

Damn thats good(mod). Nice job on the clean case too, my 900 does not have any nice places to route cables and my SATAs are all in such a place to make a clean case hard.

Thanks nuke. This is an original Antec 900.

Routed and taped flat to the chassis under the motherboard is the 8 pin 12v CPU power, front panel PWR, Reset, HDD LED, USB, FireWire and audio. Routed behind the right side case cover is the excess from the SATA and power cables. All other power cables and wiring are tye-wrapped and stowed above the 1st bay and below the 9th bay.

It required 10 hours to build and dress the case, and 4 hours to complete the Xigmatek push-pull fan modification. Adding the second fan dropped the load temperatures by 5c, but had a negligible effect on idle temperatures. The fans are 74 CFM @ 29 dBA. The 4th image shows the front-to-rear wind tunnel, so to not disrupt this airflow, the chimney fan is set on low. Cover on / off is 1c. :sol:

Its a very nice mod. like the ones extreme systems. some day i will be unlazy enough to do it too.

For now, its all like this

My reverse HDD mod is the only thing I did for now.There is a sound card in that open slot.

mikrouwel, How goes the overclocking?

@mikrou For 24/7 overclock setting, try to stay under 60C load. If you hit 60C try to drop the voltage.
For the FSB, it's always better, for the same frequency, to have a higher FSB instead of a higher multiplier.
