Right to start off with i have learning difficulties so my spelling is well off and my reading is very poor, so a guide will not do ,
Ill post what im starting off with,
*Note i check a guide - can be found if you google legionhardware E4600 oc guide, he is useing old ram tho and a very higher Vcore of 1.425V* So id rither skip his, tho another Tomhardware client Forum member sent me a pm as he got his to 1066 fsb stable with a 1.425V* but that seems very high , well we see how it goes lads.
CPU - E4600 (@ default settings 800FSB @ 1.325V)
MOBO- GA-EP35C-DS3R REV 2.1 (bios @ F4a)
PSU- 650W (2x12V 23A MAX)
GFX- 8800GTS 320MB XFX (standard not the fatality ed) (not overclocked i know how to do this myself)
Memory- http://www.kingston.com/hyperx/products/khx_ddr2.asp
Kingston Technology Company - HyperX DDR2 -
(located in the dual channel memory area - KHX8500AD2K2/4G 4GB DDR2 1066MHz Non-ECC CL7 7-7-7-20 1.85-2.0V ) click datasheet it will give you a pdf on other stuff im not sure with atm as its confusing. You'll see it easy enough in the dual channel its the only one that shows 7-7-7-20 timings.
Reason why its confusing @ the memory part is that Gigabyte said its surported but in there bios which is updated , the (CL) setting dont go to 7 only 6!.
So im @ 6-6-6-18 ATM. @1.8V (default)
Operating -Windows Vista Home Basic x32 ] (Dual
System -Windows 7 x64 Beta build 7000] Boot) <---- This OS is for the overclocking (vista is for when windows 7 beta runs out @ august!)
Mouse- Razer Engine - Habu Mouse
Keyboard- Technika>
Cooling Setup- All cables strapped to the HD/CD Racks to be out of the way for "AIR FLOW CONTROL",
1) Artic Cooler Xtreme Freezer 900-2500rpm (keeps cpu @ 15c idle and 35c max load.
2) 120mm Fan controlled Front Blower @ 2500RPM
3) PSU 120mm Fan @ 2500rpm (System temp @ 20c and maxs @ 33c.)
4) 1 Back Extractor Fan @ 2500rpm
5) 1 Side case Fan @ Burst mode controlled Extractor as its placed to the right hand side of the cpu coolerfor extra air removal as bk fan is @ the left.
6) 8800GTS Blower Fan set by Ntune proberties to a Constant 100% @ 2800rpm+ (temp 40c max @ 44c)
Bio's F4a- Settings @ Optimised Defaults. (ctrl+f1 For hidden bios , to make sure you know what i mean)
Bios M.I.T Settings are @ optimised settings-
But this is the settings for those who dont no what i mean.
RG-booster @ auto
Cpu clock ratio @ 12x
Cpu Freq @ 200
Cpu host clock control @ Enabled
PCI-E Freq(MHZ) @ 100mhz
C.I.A.2 @ Disabled
Performance Enhance@ Turbo
Sys memory multipier@ AUTO
Memory Freq @ 800
Dram Timing selectable (SPD) @ AUTO
System Voltage Manual
1) DDR2/DDR3 overvoltage control (normal)
2) Pci-E overvoltage control (normal)
3)FSB overvoltage control (normal)
4) (G)MCH overvoltage control (normal)
5) CPU Voltage Control (normal)
6) Normal CPU Vcore ~ 1.325V = normal setting btw.
If theres anything else i need to add let me know. Now let the advice from the arts of the oc masters begin ^^
