OCing E6750 with DDR2-800 rams in a Cooler Master Mystique 631.

[question13]

So, what kind of cooling do i need? Motherboard will be a GA-P35-DS3.

Will probably be overclocking the CPU to 8x400 to match the ram.

 

[question13]

What...no replies?

 

[question13]

...bump.

could do it on stock cooling tbh to get it to 3.2 anyway or 8x400.

If you wanna get higher than that like 3.6 or even higher tbh invest in a good thermalright ultra 120 or zalman cpu cooler.

E6750 is all in all a very cool running chip tbh. Get some artic silver to if your concerned about temps

I am wondering the same thing. I have a Zalman 9500 cpu cooler and my temps run about 40-45c after i have been using it for awhile playing games. Load temps about 35c~ give or take a few. I am 99.99% going for water cooling, but if there are some air cooling solutions I can go with, I might be willing to change my mind

 

[Charnondall]

Best air cooling solution is the Thermalight ultra 120 tbh with a nice 120mm fan on it, but even then i think ur temps will bounce between 35-40.

I OC'd mine to 3.2GHZ then to 3.6GHZ then noticed no difference while gaming, so i bumped it back down to 3.2 and kept it there and the temps are like 15-20 idle and 35-40 full load on both cores.


If you want lower temps tho water cooling would be the way but If ur extreme about cooling check out : http://www.chillblast.com/product.php?productid=16728&cat=119&page=1

Case looks yuk tho 😛

 

[Mistaman]

I think the temps could be running a little higher because of the GTS SLi I'm running. I've been hearing more and more about that cooler so I think I might check it out. How about the TEC coolers they reviewed on the site also, has anyone had experience with them either??

 

[Mistaman]

Bump!

couldnt go beyond 3.4ghz even if pushed the vcore to 1.5v,could it be because of my GEIL ddr2 800mhz RAM?

You getting windows to boot at all omz? u could try slackening ur ram timings and maybe reducing ur mem freq then ull knwo if its the ram thats ur bottleneck

 

[omzhky75]

tnx charn, m running it right now with orthos prime,i slacken the ram timings as u suggested,hope this will work all the way.

 

[omzhky75]

Charn bro, tnx much,it was indeed the RAM timing that restricted my OC to limitation, i kept on maintaining it before at 5-5-5-18 wc perhaps holds my rigs OC capability.now, i made it at last passed the 1ghz OC. http://img114.imageshack.us/my.php?image=abcd0002dl7.jpg

out of curiosity are you guys measuring your temps with speedfan?
