Need OC My Q6600,G0 ON GA-X38-DQ6

[total90]

Hello

i would to thank all Members of this great forum.

I have Q6600 2.4GHz I would like to overclock it to 3.2GHz and temperature of the processor 28-30c on idle and 48c on load with Prime95 and room temperature = 23-24c.


My rig .
Q6600, G0 , @ 2.4GHz
Gigabyte GA-X38-DQ6, F7
Kingston HyperX 4x1024 800MHz DDR2
Visiontek Radeon HD3870, 512
Thermaltake Toughpower 750W
Windows Vista Ultimate 64-bit

Any suggestions ?

Regards

Hi total90,
Welcome to the forum , eventually

You might try as a start these settings, they may or may not need further tweaking, especially with the vcore (CPU Voltage Control )

You'll also find some other examplles of ocing this board here Gigabyte GA X38 DQ6 Blog If your new to overclocking you might like to have a look at Clunk's overclocking guides

thanks supershanks for help ... i trying hard to get it but All attempts failed



And worked hard on this and also faced the same problem

I can enter the operating system via safe mode only .. And freezes before entering the operating system .


thank you

1) DDR2 OverVoltage Control :

normal

you need +0.30 if yoour ram is rated at 2.1v
2) CPU Voltage Control :

Try 1.35v or 1.32 on cpu-z (voltage )

What is your current Vcore those are my original comments

[total90]

thank you supershanks for replay ..

Regarding memory i found this link may it help

http://www.valueram.com/datasheets/K...D2LLK2_2GN.pdf



and I did not increase the vcore ... All attempts at 1.35v

thank you

Hello Supershanks

i use this steps ... windows boot fine... and it's not stable @ 1.4 when i stress it with orthos blend test so
I stopped working because the voltage is too high.

i hope you gonna find something to help me.

Hi mate
Well that's a bit of progress.
Try increasing (G)MCH OverVoltage Control : from 0.275 to the next setting up & retry prime. orthos only runs on 2 cores . see Overclocker's Tool Kit. for download. If it fails try increasing it again. This will increase your NB & mobo temp a little but won't be an issue.

if it fails again try DDR2 OverVoltage Control : +0.10v making it 1.90v

If you do get stable with the above. try lowering vcore a notch & retest, that should help your temps

keep us posted & good luck

Hello..

thanks for replay

I would like to tell you that he is now stable at 3.0GHz I'm very happy because I have never settles on this voltage. Here are the steps that I've worked :

Where can I begin to work to get 3200 ... Any suggestions ?

Regards

[supershanks]

nice going
All looks good.

Where can I begin to work to get 3200 ... Any suggestions ?

2 options :-
1) Try 8x400 As set out here
or
2) go from here to 9x356 = 3200 memory @2.40 = 853Mhz or 2.00 = 712mhz

vcore should be about the same in either.

luck
