1066 FSB Processor with 1333 DDR3 RAM?

[Matoo69]

i will tommorow have q6600 with 6gb ram
2gb 1333mhz and 4gb 1333mhz btu q6600 has 1066fsb

wil my ram work on 1066mhz if not how can i change to work with proccesor?

I ran my Q6600 ram at 1600MHz. What mobo do you have?
The RAM should work it will just be clocked to the slower speed.

 

[Matoo69]

asus p5g41t-m lx
how to put then to 1066-1333mhz??

The BIOS should have an option for FSB speed, a setting of 266MHz will set the RAM at 1066MHz.

 

[Matoo69]

ok i will check tnx bro<3

 

[Grugbug]

No problem, glad I can help.
Btw, the Q6600 is a good overclocker, I ran mine for 6 years 24/7 at 3.6GHz.
I set the FSB at 400 and kept the multiplier at 9.

one more question is this save to do?
Tape mod/BSEL mod intel q6600

 

[Grugbug]

Save to do, probably. Would I recommend it, no.

My mobo allowed me to set my FSB to 1600MHz. I just asked the CPU to do more than designed and it was able to meet my demands. I had a "golden" Q6600. The highest I ever had my Q6600 was 4.08GHz. I could run Prime95 for close to an hour until the thermals caught up to me. I did the oc on an air-cooler.

Did you get your RAM speed set?

 

[Matoo69]

noo,i will do it tommow i wait for another ram to come and then i wil put my pc together😀
ty bro btw

 

[Grugbug]

Let me know how it goes.

 

[Matoo69]

hello i try to put to cpu overclock to 333 but dosent work.

i have dram frequency on auto

MERGED QUESTION
Question from Matoo69 : "q6600 with gtx 560"

i have question is this bottleneck
on csgo i got about 30% gpu usage,on dying light i got 90-100% usage on watch dogs i get about 50-60% gpu usage...
is this bottleneck or??

i have question is this bottleneck
on csgo i got about 30% gpu usage,on dying light i got 90-100% usage on watch dogs i get about 50-60% gpu usage...
is this bottleneck or??

It depends on what game u running. And yes if u see that your gpu runs with much lower usage it means that game is cpu intensive.

It seems bottleneck, yes. If it is possible, try to overclock the CPU (be careful with temps). When I bought that CPU in 2007, people were already recommending overclocking to 3.0 or more GHz (My old G0 was able to do 3.4).

yestarday i try cod Aw(advanced warfare) gpu usage 70-95%
i will overclock my cpu today to 3.0 ghz but when i set fsb to 333 pc my wont turn on black screen

Did you push up a little the vcore? My q6600 run at 3.4 with 1.325 (I think...). And be carefull with RAM speed, because it rises with the FSB.

no i didnt,can you pls help me i wana q6600 to 3ghz and ram to work on 1066mhz becose on cpuz show 600mhz only (ram)

I can´t enter to the motherboard because it is died... But I will try to remember.

First of all your motherboard (model?) should allow to touch OC options (My old one was an Asus P5QE).

My G0 was running at FSB to 425, vcore to 1.325, multiplier at 8, ram set at 1020 (they are 1066 modules). FSB may need a little push in voltage.

You must see if your PCI frequency is higher than 100, it shouldn´t, if it is higher there must be an option to lower that speed (it affect the GPU, HDD...).

If your RAM is 1066, it shouldn´t work faster, set it lower if it is possible.

In theory, if CPUz show 600, then your ram is working at 1200 (?), in BIOS should be an option to get down that speed.

If you can´t touch anything in bios except the FSB, if you push it to 333 (with the default multiplier (9)) you should get the 3000 MHz, but usually you will need to push up the voltage of the FSB a little (well, if the motherboard allows it).

my is asus pg541t mlx one ram is 1333mhz andd one is 1066mhz 4gb and 2gb modul.

i want my cpu to work on 3ghz and ram to work on 1066mhz

hmm whould i put my pci frequency to 100 or leave it on AUTO?

I was reading the manual of your motherboard, in page 2-9, 2-10... are explained the multiple options for OC. I think that MB is a little more simple than my P5QE, I see less options of control.

Well, I should try this:

FSB to 1333 (333). I don´t see voltage options for FSB in the manual... With 333 and multiplier to 9 = 2997 MHz

Maybe PCI Express Frequency to Auto (I hope that it stays in 100)

Dram Frequency to 1000 (for 1333 FSB, in the table it says 667, 800, 1000 or 1100). 1100 better not, because you have a module of 1066. You will notice anything from 1066 to 1000.

Memory voltage to auto.

NB voltage auto

VTT on auto

CPU vcore, depends on "silicon lottery". See your vcore without OC, then you can rise a little bit, for exemple my q6600 go from 1.28 (I think) to 1.325, temps were low because it wasn´t a hevy increment of current (and it had a big cooler).

Ratio CMOS, I think it is the multiplier, in q6600 it goes from 6 to 9 if I remember correctly. For 333 yo can leave it to 9 (auto?)

If you don´t have the manual: https://www.asus.com/es/Motherboards/P5G41TM_LX/HelpDesk_Manual/

oke thnaks i will try this i tell you if it work

 

[Matoo69]

I put cpu to 333 and dram to 1000 but computer when into the problem amd restart.

Memory voltage,nb voltage and all this on auto.
What next?

 

[Matoo69]

If you want i can give you some photos od my bios??

 

[Grugbug]

Give this a read, I think it will help.

Some good initial starting points.

 

[Matoo69]

Hmhmhm wtf?? Read this
I play middle earth shadow of morder
All medium settings with max res (1440x900) and i get 120fps max and lowest 70 avg is about 83
Gpu load 87-98 whitch is not bottleneck gpu temp is 85-89 celsius but on the other side csgo gpu load max 30% and all low-medium with 40-55fps max wtf????

 

[Grugbug]

What are the settings for system and what GPU do you have?

 

[Matoo69]

Gtx 560 directcu 1gb,6gb ram and q6600

 

[Grugbug]

How do you have your Q6600 setup in the BIOS?

 

[Matoo69]

All normal
And auto!
