OverClocking Intel E6420 CPU

[Jacky444]

Every thing is working fine now at 2.6ghz, i got rams already 1:1 synic mode. so its not that. somthing else is crashing. as well i got core voltage on 1.35v

 

[Lupiron]

Waaahhhh!!! VID, waaaahhh! Not current voltage!



--Lupi

 

[Jacky444]

oh 😀

ViD: 1.3500v

it says so :\

anyway, i'm having trubles with Graphic overclocking now. games are crashing. but not pc, only games. and couse i got en 8800GT i'm having problems overclocking it :s

 

[Jacky444]

damn, if i run nvidia strees test it works fine, no problems. but crysis crashes pretty much fast.

anyway any ideas why i cant go higher then 2.6ghz ?
I think 500mhz overclocking is wourthless lol =)

 

[Lupiron]

1.3500... I need to look into that!

Its 1.3500 alright. How odd. I guess intel took the re branding of their chips farther, hehe! I bet this series are the throw backs!

I need to research! Supposedly people get 3.2 on it.

--Lupi!

 

[Jacky444]

I belive so, I'm very dissapointed on this chip to be honest =(

2.6ghz max or bios doesnt let me to start. It might be becouse of bios ?

anyway, take ur time. When you'll get more contact me or write response here, I check forum every day three times anyway =)

If you have MSN messanger even better =) or somthing like that =)

Thanks for all help so far Lupi.

It may be the board. If the comp doesn't even post? That sounds alot like what happens on a 680i chipset with a quad. What's your front side bus at when it works?

You can try moving the FSB up higher after it wont post, because FSB holes are common. If you find a area that posts, you may need to adjust voltages, but as long as you find an area that posts, yer half way there!

Have you updated to the newest bios?

--Lupi

 

[Jacky444]

ehm, My english isnt rly the best 😛 I understand some things like
"Have you updated to the newest bios".

Yes, I update that while ago.
I dont know how to modifily FSB voltage. It does automaticly by incressing core speed. Atleast that happends to me. atm its running at 1316mhz


What you mean by "You can try moving the FSB up higher after it wont post"
I dont rly know HOW to put it more... I can only modifily voltage of FSB but not speed. I rly hate my motherboard. But its all i can afford atm =(

 

[Jacky444]

oh i forgot to tell you, when i start up comp after some hours that its shuted down, pc deosnt start . I mean with that. I dont see any picture, cpu fan doesnt start to spin atleast i dont hear it as normaly. if i restart power supply and start pc then it starts working. but idk whats that =)

 

[Lupiron]

Sorry, been in seattle. Just got home! Umm, that re start thing is kind of odd.

First post, what are you suing to change the processor frequency? Thats the FSB. As far as I know, its really the only thing that modifies processor speed. FSB x CPU multiplier = CPU frequency.

Let me know whats been up, and I will help as best I can now.

--Lupi

 

[Jacky444]

ok, thx a lot.

Well lets see, FSBxCPU multipler right ? (x8) i think.
I guess ur right yea.

Oh well, atm i got FSB at 330. I tryed to forward it onto 370 - 350.

I was trying it steep by steep. +1

but no luck. all same problem. (overclocking faild).

I'm trying to get my compluter atleast 3ghz. thats all i want. I'm using stock cooler as i told u before and temperatures are pretty low.
35 - 55°C fully loaded.
I know its not that low, but i know i can get it up to 65°C with no problems.

Bios has setting to shutdown at 85°C =)

Anyway, I didnt found out nothing new so. I was trying frequency's but same error like always: Overclocking faild 😛

 

[Lupiron]

I know this sounds crazy, but is there any way you can take screen shots of your current BIOS and its settings??

--Lupi!

 

[Jacky444]

Of course. it doesnt sound crazy =)

Ok going to take me some time 😛

 

[Jacky444]

Here i got screen shots for ya:

[Jacky444]

oh sec, seems i didnt upload images =(

going to fix it

 

[Jacky444]

ok works 😛

 

[Lupiron]

The first one worked for me, then I get some weird SQL error, hehe!

Feel free to E Mail them to BillboBagginsMailBox@yahoo.com when you get the chance. Thanks!!

[Jacky444]

Damn this, I'm bad programer in php 😛 i gota get rid of bugs in my "Simple" scripts 😛

 

[Jacky444]

I couldnt send it =( SMTP error, got blocked port

anyway here is my mail:
Hello,

Here are images of my Bios:

These links are directly to the image file. so there wont be a problem viewing them =)

Thanks for all ur help =)


P.S.: If you're using yahoo msn we could chat =)
Fell free to add me: Me@thejacky.com <-- msn live account. Should be working with yahoo.

any news :O *

 

[Lupiron]

Reading about the board. Niiiice, it hides the memory timings, hehe! I am also doing some of my own stuff at last! Got my q6600 testing at 3770 @ 1.440 loaded!

Will be around all day! How about you give me a status report? LOL!

--Lupi

 

[Jacky444]

:O where i can find that :O ?

sory, i know u're busy man 😛 I'm already happy u're helping me

Where i can find Status report ?

 

[Lupiron]

here is what it says!

This motherboard also provides memory timings adjustments, feature not found on other P965-based motherboards we reviewed. This option, however, is hidden under Advanced, Chipset, North Bridge Configuration menu, and you need to change the “Configure DRAM Timing by SPD” option to “Disable” for the memory configurations to show up. Also, depending on the BIOS version your motherboard is using, you will find more or less options here. Our board came with 0211 BIOS, which provided only the four basic timings adjustment, but after we upgraded the BIOS to version 0904 all the options shown on Figure 6 appeared.

So there it is!

--lupi

 

[Jacky444]

ok, i'll check it out. 0904 that is newest beta bios ?

Becouse i use atm 1803 version (newest non beta version) and I didnt seen that option.

but i'm not sure. I'll check it right away =)
Tomorow morning i'll write down what i found out.

 

[Lupiron]

LOL, That Bios may be forever old. It just proves that you have it is all!
