What do I win?

My Q6600 at dads house is 3.72GHz from 2.4GHz. Will up a photo next time I'm there.

Edit: Decided to throw in my HDD performance. It's not even an SSD. Its 2x 15kRPM SAS drives in RAID0 (Notice the access times )

post yours.

What cooler do you use?

 

[Oxide]

I remember when I overclocked, then my computer blew up.

 

[nehkz]

I'll post mine when I get an Intel cpu and mobo. I can't take it anymore.

What cooler do you use?

Coolermaster V6 GT. I could go higher with NH-D14.

Ahh yes. I miss my intel cpu too, Q6600. Now I have a AMD Phenom II X4 955 Black. It sucks but I do like AMD's prices. They are what you pay for.

i have the same AMD phenom as you xD
I like it, its pretty good IMO. Does everything I want.

Yeah, I have that too, but it hasn't got anything on the i5's and the i7's

It still overclocks like a boss though. Being able to put the vCore to 1.5 was a large advantage back in the day when overclocking actually took more skill having to tweak FSB and clock skews instead of just adjusting the multiplier and maybe vCore

Good point, I haven't OC'ed my Phenom II, but I may do.

That's what I was wanting to get soon.

Temps:

Core 1: 62c
Core 2: 66c
Core 3: 65c
Core 4: 56c

OCed to 4.7Ghz. Stable at 4.7Ghz. Going to try 4.8, 4.9 etc until I get some errors.

Whats your ram latency/voltage at?

[Haunter_mybb_import14889]

Nice bro. I completely forgot that on i7's its basically impossible to get a 1:1 dram/fsb ratio haha. None of that shit matters on i7's when tweaking multiplier right?

 

[Inxy]

Failed to get it to 4.8Ghz. Not sure that if that's true. But only thing matters when overclocking a sandy bridge CPU is that you change multiplier and voltage.


Also having some fucking issue with CPU. It keeps down clocking it self to 4.990Mhz. When I have it at 4.5Ghz. Any ideas on to fix this?

 

[Haunter_mybb_import14889]

You've diabled Inteliboost or whatever it's called? On my QuadCore, there are a few options in bios for power saving and shit (I.E. On quad core it drops the multiplier from 9, down to 6 to power save). Make sure all of those are off.

 

[Inxy]

Intel Speed stepping? I'll give that a shot. brb

 

[Haunter_mybb_import14889]

Yer that one and the "Intel® Turbo Boost Technology" one. The Turbo Boost was the one I was thinking of. Try disabling it and see how it goes. It's purpose is to disable 3 of the cores and then OC Core 0 (Which is kinda pointless when you're manually OC'ing like you are).
