E6600 Overclocking Terror!?

hello, i would like to tell you whats going on here and pray for the answer ive been looking for. first of all thank you for the help everyone.



i have a E6600 and i have OCed it @2.85GHz so far. The means my FSB is at 316mhz. whenever i push further, the system hangs and i have to reduce the overclock. i put my vcore to 50mv and still no luck so i tried 100mv. that is around 1.45v i think but still no luck. i put it back to 50mv and tried increasing fsb voltage to 1.3 and 1.4v but still no luck. i even increased memory Voltage to around from 1.8v to 1.86v. i changed another MB setting to higher voltage too but still it hung. the only option left is to put my memory running at 667mhz and see if that does anything and it might not lol.



my motherboard, as reccomended by 9 people on the overcling forum (this site) is a ASUS P5KPL-AM and the CPU as you know is a E6600. Full load speeds right now are 52 degrees with a synche mini ninja cooler.



here is the rig below. i called it the Crysis E66-4800. cool name lol!!



E6600@2.85GHz



2x1GB DDR2 667mhz



P5KPL-AM MB



ASUS 4850 bios modded @ 1.158v core running at 740mhz ad memory running at 2230mhz gddr3 512mb. full load 65 degrees



Corsair VX550W PSU single 12v rail 41A



Ultra fast lite on combo cd dvd rw pata drive



MHEL Ultimate Gaming case modded with blue led light and 5 case fans lol



thank you so much for the help. i realy hope someone knows how to get that fsb even 5mhz higher!!!!!! lol.E6600 Overclocking Terror!?
Overclockers or PC enthusiasts who attempt to increase their system's performance by raising bus speeds and increasing their CPU speed beyond the figures at which it was sold and designed to run. Also quite frequently need to raise the voltage of these deviced, since they are pushing them harder, which also generates more heat. Overclocking no longer makes the performance difference it use to. It will also void your CPU warrenty, could cause complete system failure requiring component replacement, and can cause random system instability. for that reason, many of the frequency and voltage settings offered in this part of the BIOS should be left alone or set to Auto.But if you want to adjust them click on the Advanced tab on the BIOS screen.Be sure set the CPU external frequency (MHZ) in accordance with the specifications of your processor. CPU frequency multiple setting :Auto CPU frequency multiple:be sure to set in accordance with the specifications of your processor.Asus should have called this the CPU multiplier.System Performance :Optimal. CPU Interface : Optimal. Memory frequency:by SPD, most memory-chip manufacturers include a Serial Presence Detect (SPD) Chip, wich reports to the Computer's BIOS. The Size, Data,Width, Speed and voltage of the installed memory.These settings are determined by the manufacturer to ensure maximum performance and reliability,Sp SPD is considered a safe, recomended setting.By adjusting these settings yourself you may be able to squeeze more performance out of your system. But if your not careful you might cause your system to crash, not boot properly or not boot at all. Memory Timings:Optimal , FSB spread spectrum:Disabled.this feature helps systems pass European electromagnetic interferance (EMI) test it accomplishes this by constantly varying,ever so slightly, the frequency of the front side bus (FSB) Be warned that enabling this feature with large values can result in internet connection disruption as well as stability problems if you overclock your system. AGP Spread Spectrum:Disabled the discription above applies here as well,except that this is for modulating the frequency of the Advanced Graphics Port (AGP) interface.CPU VCore setting: Auto. Be sure to set this in accordance with the core voltage requirments of your processor. Graphics Aperture Size: 64 MB or 128 MB this feature controls the size of the Graphics Address RelocationTable(GART) and the amount of memory address space used for AGP memory addresses.Regardless of how much on-board memory a system's video card has, A setting of 64MB or 128MB is recomended. This will allow the video card to remain optimized in the event an application requires more texture storage, while simultaniously limiting the GART to a reasonable size.AGP frequency :AUTO . System BIOS Cacheable:Disabled you might be under the impression that all catch is good but thats not true. This feature can cause problems such as system crashes if a program tries to write to the BIOS area being catched. This is a great feature to enable if your still using DOS.Video RAM Catchable:Disabled this allows video ram to be copied directly to your L2 cache wich is considerably faster to access than ROM.However Windows is much more advanced the DOS . Windows rearely uses this ROM because the L2 cache is quite limited in size, it is recomended you let Windows use the L2 cache for enhancing the efficiency of othe tasks. DDR Referance Voltage:2.6 v this setting controls the voltage of the double-data rate (DDR) memory in your system.AGP VDDQ Voltage: 1.5. VDDQ is an enginering term meaning voltage between drain and common for Data Quad Band. In English this refers to how much voltage should be supplied to the Video Card. AGP 8X Support: enable this if the system video card supports 8X AGP speeds. You must install the VIA 4- in-1 drivers to take advantage of this feature on VIA-Based Motherboards. AGP Fast Write Capability:Enabled is recomended this feature when enabled, allows the AGP device,increasing performance by as much as 10 % However some games and PCI cards may experiance problems with this setting enabled. It is recomended that you experimant with this setting to determin what works best for your PC. Good luck i hope this information will help to resolve your problems.
