I memtest+d four sticks of that cheap memory at 445 x 7 2.2v all day and all was well when I got home. I just tried to bump it up to 450 and the system said the overclock failed. I did have vcore and the northbridge voltage at stock, though... |
450. 449 is stable, though. I think there must be a strap change
at 450 or something. I'll try bumping it up on the fly in Windows.

---reading avidly--- I'm enjoying reading through this thread...good stuff! Have you tried SpeedFan? http://www.almico.com/speedfan.php I have version 4.32 running and it seems to be quite accurate, compared to a couple of other measurements. It has a very nice graphing feature that can track the dual cpu temps very quickly as load changes occur. I'll post more about my 6600/ASUS experience as I go. As long as I'm here, what CPU core voltages do you folks run? All I've found is that Intel specs the core voltage at 0.850 to 1.3525V. What is default, and what is a good starting place for OC'ing? Thanks, Jack R Glad you enjoy reading all this 'stuff'. Actually, this is about as active |
are different with about every processor offering. We try and run as low a
core voltage as possible and still achieve our goal. The starting place is
whatever the processor default is from intel.com or the box. We get what we
can at that voltage and then raise it a tad and do it again. After going
through this process a few times we eventually find the processor's max
overclockability. Heat is usually the first deciding factor. As a processor
is overclocked, the temperature becomes more and more important. 60c at
default speeds might be just fine. 60c at a 30% overclock might cause
instability. I am waiting for my E6600/680i package now so maybe we can
share some info. Hopefully I can get started before the weekend.
