How to sqeeze a little more OC'ing

oofreakoo · 01-30-08, 10:38 PM

I am at 3.15ghz 1.4v 47c idle stable and ram clock is 438mhz (speed 876mhz), but would like to push a little harder. The sticky helped a lot to get over the 3.0ghz mark but now I know it will take a little further fine tuning to get more out of my system. TIA

Intel E6600
2x Sapphire Radion x1950pro's (crossfire) oc'd mild w/stock cooling
P5W DH DELUXE
Thermalright Ultra-120
Thermaltake Toughpower 750w SLI
OCZ 2GB Platinum Rev2 4-4-4-15 PC6400 (800mhz) dual channel
HDD1:WD 150g Raptor Raid-0 10,000rpm
HDD2:WD 150g Raptor Raid-0 10,000rpm
HDD3:Maxtor DiamondMax 200GB 7,200rpm
HDD4:Seagate Barracuda 500GB 7,200rpm
LCD1:Syncmaster213T 21"
LCD2:SyncMaster192N 19"
LCD3:SyncMaster192N 19"
Antec-P180B

Please flame me if needed, if not, advice would be great!

i know you list off ram but is it like PC2-8000 or what ddr2-xxx speed...casue you might be at the limits of the ram more then cpu... at the same time its highly possible the board just cant give you anymore..

Sorry, it is OCZ Platinum Rev2 PC6400 ddr800mhz dual channel

so you already got the ram oced a little on stock timings... loosed the timings to 5-5-5-14 at stock voltage see how much higher you can go. you may also need higher nothbridge voltage too.

I was already at 5-5-5-15

I just pushed to 360fsb so am now at 3.244ghz. with 48c idle. I will see how long Prime runs at this setting.'

Ram is back down to 360mhz (721) 2.0v

Any suggestions?

ran this last setting all night with no errors. Any other suggestions guys???

keep pushing the fsb till it doesnt boot anymore... increase you voltages as needed as well. the NB will prolly need a touch more for 400mhz. is the ram rated for 2.0v at ddr2-800? also what were your load temps look like. as you might also be at the limit for the cpu on the cooling you have..
