Time to OC baby......

[ali3596]

I have the conroe e6300 and i've heard people overclocking over 3ghz without any problems?

Don't wanna go extreme, just want to overclock it to 2.5ghz maybe?

how do i go about doing that?

this is the motherboard i have -> http://www.newegg.com/Product/Product.asp?Item=N82E16813138034

graphics card- 7800GT

i have a 120mm fan in the back of my case, and a 80mm upfront.....

it seems as if i can only oc to 2.1ghz before it starts locking up on me. but why is that? CPU temp is showing 26-27 C...... the program i use to OC is warpspeeder, which came with the driver CD......

Memory. What are your memory specs?

First of all, never use software to OC. Do it manually through the bios. Second, not sure that motherboard is all that great for OCing. Someone else may have a little more info on the 945 chipset and that board.

Its the motherboard. The 945 chipset was even forced at the 1066 strap to support C2Ds.
Just as trying something wild, give the NB a lot of help with voltages (if its supported) and active cool it.
