Hello
On the begining just wanted to say that I am quite a newbie in overclocking matter. I ve got system wchich is:
MB - Maximus Extreme
CPU - E6700 2.66
RAM - 2 X Corsair CM3X2G1600C9DHX 533 MHz
7-7-7-20 (CL-RCD-RP-RAS)
27-59-4-8-4 (RC-RFC-RRD-WR-WTR)
COOLING -Just standard Intel kit cooler.....
Now since i have googled a lot I know , that theoretically I can get it going from 2.66 to 3.66 by increasing FSB from 266 to 333, Ram into about 976 MHz and increasing dram voltage to 2.0V and FSB to 1.4 V. However the problem is that :
- firstly, any time i try to change FSB over lets say 280 i cannot boot up and
I need to reset bios settings.
- Secondly i cannot set Ram speed to that specific value So i understand
that is also an issue which I have no idea how to solve.I understand it has to be like 1066 or around that but im not sure...
- finally whatever mid manual changes i try to make in bios results in computer noot booting up - the highest stable result i achieved is getting 2.8 GHz which i would guess could be better
I want to play with overclocking mainly so I can learn, and see how single settings have impact on system performance, rather than achieving
super speed, since i know that e6700 is bad to overclock. And it is experimenting which gives me pleasure.But as for now "single setting experiments" - results only for me in "bios reset".... and setting everything back to auto
Of course i understand it is rather me lacking or not having knowledge, how to do it, rather than something is wrong, so if someone could help me please with this matter. It could be example bios settings from where i could take it further, and play around or any tutorials etc etc .
Thx for help
"The best" results i got as far...
