Do I even need to set the voltage in the bios? I read that when the Frecuency is inscreased the cpu will automatically increase the voltage to compensate. IF thats true then I can change the voltage back to auto because at 2.4ghz the stock voltage is fine (up to 1.325v).

?
 
Everything I've heard tells me that no voltage increase is needed until, maybe, 2.6 ghz or more, with many hitting 3.0 ghz without the need for more voltage.

So yes, set it back to auto, only raise it if you run into stability issues. Stability issues, from my understanding, generally only crop up at lower speeds when a core is maxed out.
 
ok thanks.

I noticed that when i do a restart from windows or even hit the reset button the PC now takes 2 or 3 seconds longer to start the restart. It does a hard restart everytime. Like it shuts off completely and takes 3 seconds and then starts up again! I know it didnt do this before I overclocked the chip.

?
 
ASUS P5L-VM 1394 micro atx. I didnt change any settings in the bios. Seems like the mobo just wants to do a hard restart because of the different bus.
 
Just wondering if anyone has tried this with an Intel G33 board?
Also, is it possible to set 1066 fsb cpu's to 1333?

Each board is different. My motherboard doesn't officially support Core2Duo chips, but yet I'm using one right now, overclocked.

And from what I've seen elsewhere, I have heard of pin mods making chips go from 1066mhz to 1333mhz.
 
After doing a little research; here's a picture of what pin spots your need to connect for 333 fsb on the chip: (hopefully this is right, I can't try it because i dont have good enough cooling yet.)

Your going to need more voltage 1.4v or over. People say to do the vcore mods, but Why not just change the voltage in the bios? :)

Zalman 9500 or 9700 for air cooling, should make a 4c-5c difference. I might try this if i get $50 to buy the heatsink/fan. Oh your motherboard must be able to handle the FSB and your memory too. 😉


I've been running the 266 mhz pin mod for a week now with no problems at all. Using stock cooling. 43c idle / 58c max.

My BIOS doesn't support vCore changes. My Northbridge doesn't even support Core2Duo chips officially, but yet here I am, typing on with a Core2Duo running in the motherboard.
 
Oh ok, I see :) What about bios updates?

my mother board says its a 1066 mobo, but in the bios I can set the FSB multiplyer up to 450 lol..... boom!
 
Oh. So the 266mhz to 200mhz mod is the same as the 200mhz to 266mhz mod?
G33 board is 1333fsb capable. I was just thinking about doing this on a cheapo Intel G33 board with an e6350.
*thinking in head*
Hmm...thats not going very far though, with so few multipliers.
The e4xxx benefit with higher multipliers.
*decisions decisions*

A lot of the boards can overclock higher into the 300+ fsb range even though they say 800/1066 etc... You have to have a decent board and make sure your northbridge and south are cool enough.

having a 1333fbs board is the safest, You will need DDR2 667mhz memory minimum i think for a safe overclock.

At $110 the E4300 chip is the best bang for the buck. I bought mine 2 months ago right before they went down at $169... :evil: I didn't know it was going to happen though.

You'll get more Mhz easier out of the E4300 then say the E6600. If you start with a high mhz chip you cant get the mhz out of it as easy becasue its already running that much more with the same core. The E4300 is really just throttled down from what it can really do.

I've been really imressed with the E4300. It's unlike any others i've ever had! for the win!!!
 
The memory dept is taken care of, 2gb Mushkin DDR2 800.
I'd like the Gigabyte g33, but it gets bandwith hungry with memory from what i hear. Apparently it OC's easier with the 266mhz cpu's? So i might just get the generic Intel G33 and fsb strap mod a 266 cpu anyway. We'll see. I dunno yet.
 
It would be cool if we had the core to pin layout of the chip. Not sure but we might be able to find other frequency's then just 200,266,333..... 300 would be good for me 😀

Since you asked nicely:

===============================

BSEL2--BSEL1--BSEL0-- FSB
--------------------------------
0--------0-------0------266.67
0--------0-------1------133.33
0--------1-------0------200.00
0--------1-------1------166.67
1--------0-------0------333.33
1--------0-------1------100.00
1--------1-------0------400.00
1--------1-------1------Res e r v e d

These are all the possible combinations. 1,1,1 is not known at this time, and I don't believe anyone has really ever tried the 100fsb pinmod (anyone wanna try 100 fsb for fun? My Asrock 775i65G does not use BSEL pins to pull up FSB, so these pinmods are useless to me. Be the first kid on your block with a 900MHz E4300!).

If you want to try for a 300 fsb pinmod, 1,1,1 would be your best shot. It's probably either 300fsb, or maybe 233 fsb; I really doubt there is anything higher than 400fsb.
 
hey guys,

i just did the bsel1 mod to my dell E520 with the E4300 chip. for some reason, my multipliers fluctuate from 6 to 9 and never stays on 9. its on 6 most of the time. the mod is fine, i get 266 bus. here is a pic, anyone know what might be wrong? or know how to fix it? Thanks

Thats just intels speedstep feature. Its normal. There might be a setting in your bios to turn it off. I turned mine off and it didnt matter, it still throttles down to 1600mhz. It saves power and its easier on your cpu then running 2400mhz all the time. Its deffently a good thing im my opinion. It auto jumps to 2.4ghz in a split second anyway. Run something that uses a lot of constant cpu and it should stay up.
 
If you don't have any applications that are asking for a lot of CPU usage, then a power saving feature will kick in that drops the voltage (not good when you overclock), and kicks the multiplier down.

It'll either be called C1E or Speedstep. You'll be able to find it somewhere in the BIOS, and it should have it there, you just have to look thoroughly.
 
goldragon_70, overclock that E6600 ! 8O

I plan too. I know that I can get to 3.2-3.3Ghz and run fine, but I haven't had enough time to really spend on getting the OC adjusted to use the right amount of voltage yet. I also plan to lap my cpu and heat sink, and eventually mod my case and add 7 120mm fans to it. It's just an issue of time, and in some cases money. 8)
