Overclocking Q6600 CPU
On a P5N32-E SLI Motherboard
I’ve only managed to update bios and allow ram to use 800 MHz it’s default by unlinking it from cpu in bios but I can seem to find how to overclock the cpu I know it’s possible it’s called something els in bios 15 years ago but I’ve never been so confused I’ve had it easy with a10 apu chips so what the he’ll this isn’t oem so why am I stuck

bios version 1903
11/17/2009

And wtf I found a can use bios as alarm clock wtf

 

[LUCKY7SON]

I’m hoping I can get this working
I’m currently waiting for new build and got this older pc from someone when I gave them my ddr3 a10 to upgrade to ddr4
And they wanted stuff copied over the computer was dirty and not running right but I managed to fix it and now it’s running and or tho it’s probably like 25 years old it runs pretty good and I was thinking of keeping it for future clusters computer

 

[LUCKY7SON]

I kinda love older computers so I still have my 2006 Mac Pro because I have a feeling it’s getting some heavy mods in future
Because of those ram boards that separate from board soon it will regain wrath

I have a q6600 but have set it at stock. Was 3.2GHz. Overclocking such an old system is a risk but if you want to do it then there are a number of ways to overclock the q6600.

Don't use the 1.625 volts vcore in the video.

ive been looking to see if i can boost the speed of this, and found this mod. I have an intel oem motherboard, so no overclocking. i wouldve much rather done that. Anyway, while reading up on doing this ive seen where you cover one pin, 2 pins, connect 2 pins, connecct 4 pins, and a bunch of...

I don’t think the bios look the sam I believe there’s quite a few things missing Even though it latest version

 

[LUCKY7SON]

I have I think it’s called Phoenix bios

Should not matter if you have got the idea about how to overclock the q6600.




AI Tuning [Auto]
Allows selection of CPU overclocking options to achieve desired CPU internal frequency. Selct either one of the preset overclocking configuration options:
Manual Allows you to individually set overclocking parameters.
Auto Loads the optimal settings for the system.
Standard Loads the standard settings for the system.
AI Overclock Loads overclocking profiles with optimal parameters for stability when overclocking.
AI N.O.S. The ASUS Non-delay Overclocking System feature intelligently determines the system load and automatically boosts the performance for the most demanding tasks.

Overclock Options [Disabled]
Allows you to set the overclocking options.
Configuration options: [Disabled] [Overclock 5%] [Overclock 10%] [Overclock 15%] [Overclock 20%] [FSB 960/800] [FSB 1280/800] [FSB 1000/667] [FSB 1333/667] [FSB 1200/800]


Unlinked looks like the easier option. Bus speed x cpu multiplier = Processor clock speed


Bus speed x cpu multiplier = Processor clock speed

[LUCKY7SON]

Okay I’ll check that out later

 

[LUCKY7SON]

It probably won’t allow it to boot past Phoenix logo like it just keeps doing when I try anything

 

[LUCKY7SON]

Also I’m curious for future past projects but
will aorus amd rx 5700 xt 8g work on windows xp pro I plan on running two OS on new pc when I build it

it’s going to be a x299 prime deluxe motherboard I am thinking of hunting down some 4000 MHz and up ddr4 ram

 

[LUCKY7SON]

It turns out to save some money I whent with x299 lowest cpu a i5 most because i7 whent up 200$ and so did the i5 on amazon the retailer being intel literally say recommended price is $250 as it was on amazon
Up to a few weeks ago I was going to pass on i5 and go i7 for around $500 but with out warning after Boxing Day the chip jumped to $750 as for the i5 it was Sam price as before so I held back I bit longer now i5 is $350 on Amazon and $450 at best buy it’s not even worth that so I hade to ebay it in panic so I’m waiting on it delivery but as it turns out after googling it for a bit longer I can across info saying it will only use 2 of my ram channels but can do like 32 gb that doesn’t make sense so what’s true what’s the deal help me out

 

[LUCKY7SON]

Also can anyone help is there a solution for installing yellow dog Linux on ps3 because I was thinking of cluster computing when all is done and supposedly windows the has the ability to cluster with Linux at least that’s what I believe cause windows offers the software on more than just windows but also Linux so I guess it could work right

 

[zx128k]

This image makes it easier to see what each cpu can do. i5-7640x core and thread count is 4/4 and memory support is two channels. The maximum memory supported by the cpu is 64 GB. Intel® Core™ i5-7640X X-series Processor

I can't help you with the ps3, I have never owned one and have little knowledge about one.

 

[LUCKY7SON]

Ok so clear this up are you saying I should be able to us at least 4 ram sticks if not how do I get 64gb

 

[LUCKY7SON]

And how well do you say a Aorus AMD RX 5700 XT 8G would work
I hade a gta 1650 or the last gtx in it and it seemed good so let me know I’m going to research anyway
I only barrowd the 1650 I actually use a 1050 and I get a really good benchmark on 3DMark

[LUCKY7SON]

for what they say about this cpu its actually not bad

 

[LUCKY7SON]

its pretty quick

 

[zx128k]

It's not a bad cpu, the core count is the only issue but only in AAA games. You can always wait for prices to lower and try to get one of the higher core count models if that becomes an issue.
