Hi folks!
Been trying to overclock what looks to be an abused e8600. Has mad discolorations on the bottom of the chip and no multi setting appears in the bios (multi setting shows for all other CPUs I've tried).
Started by leaving everything on auto except for the fsb which I gradually raised and got to boot into windows at 600x10. Checked voltages using speedfan and then switched to manual using pll=1.69, vtt=1.49, vNB=1.52 and vcore of 1.75.
Am not able to get it past about 602. Tried raising vcore all the way to 1.95 but it makes no difference whatsoever. Any ideas of other things to try? What cpu gtl value(s) do you think? If it's a fsb hole, what fsb do you think should be tried 610 and 615 froze instantly.
Tia!
