3.8GHz @ 1.3125v = also unstable
how do i get over 3.7Ghz and keep cool n quiet working
aK8r4s.jpg ZowC2s.jpg Cc2fCs.jpg
i assume the srat table is just for 32bit OSes using PAE
from what i have read ce1 sounds like cool n quiet, but is appears to have no effect...
no idea what advanced clock calibration does
not sure what microcode does
edit:
3.7Ghz @ 1.3125v = prime error after 1hr 7 min

Honestly, you probably can't, most of us turn those off to hit stable clocks, Cool 'n quiet and and C1E and other power saving features upset the stability.

You could try with higher voltage, but no guarantee it will work, if you can make it work then more power to you, but we turn those off for a reason.

Not sure what microcode is myself, but advanced clock calibration lets you adjust core frequency on an individual basis.
 
Advanced Clock Calibration is the core unlocking tool.

C1E is not the same as Cool N Quiet.
 
For now, you should probably disable Cool n Quiet and C1E. After you get a stable overclock that is acceptable to you, I think you can turn it back on (RGone or trents will know more about that than me).
 
my cpu does not have any cores to unlock...

running prime at 1.3250v on 3.7Ghz, i am not willing to give up C&Q so i guess that is where i stop upping the freq :(
what should i do with the north bridge?

are both of you right Advanced Clock Calibration
core unlocking and it sounds like over-clocking user defined core(s)

what does c1e even do? i had it disabled till today
 
Advanced click calibration is you're core unlock tool on you're motherboard for unlocking the hidden cores on duel and triple core cpu's, you want this off and taken from the net a full write up of C1E

C1E is a power saving enhancement to the state the CPU is in when there is totally nothing to do at all. Whilst doing something productive with your computer, it spends most of the time in C1 state - and if you make it C1E, you'll save power.

I have seen people oc with CnQ still enabled and it still seems to work but it can cause issues, if you want it on just leave it on and if you run into issues then turn it off but it should work for now


As for the CPU NB you can raise the multiplier to oc the CPU NB, but you won't get much above stock speed on stock voltage, maybe 2200,2400 if you're really lucky, this will increase you're memory performance slightly.

based on this i should go for about 2350 on my NB
is there any stability test to do with this or it is a works or it doesn't thing
to my understanding my chip seems to work at below average voltages, this gives it more potential right? eg good sign if you want 4GHz, but i can't get that without giving up cool n quiet

i have below average stock voltage on a 300MHz over-clock that appears stable if i am right
3.7GHz at 3.250V (3.6GHz appears to be stable at 3.000V)
 
Oh we'll that's a pain ! You have a C3 chip which oc a lot better than the other stepping versions and I would expect good clocks from it on the NB and frequency, and you want the NB to go as fast as you can get it.
 
is there a way to modify the stepping frequencies? ACC can't be used to create a makshift C&A can it?
On windows people have used K10Stat to get stepping back when overclocking

i set to 2400 and it booted, how long should i run prime to very that is stable, i just spent around 2.5hrs verifying my cpu over-clock stability

new record Temp 46C, maybe that will help keep me warm this winter, lol
 
Same amount of time with the NB as the CPU clock for prime 2hrs quick test, overnight for true stabiliy testing, those temps are good, but is that CPU temp (socket temp) or core temp?
 
here is a sensors dump, i was reading it came from the one labeled "CPU Temperature"

i can't sleep with the leds and the fan noise, it is a bit of a wind tunnel... does the test have to be continues or a hour here and a hour there
the above it idle output

I'm afraid it has to be continuos, and those temps look like there motherboard readouts meaning socket temp which is good as skt temps are usually 8-10c hotter than the core when you have a aftermarket cooler so you're temps are nice and low (which they should be at 1.3v)
 
You should be able to hit about 3.9 safely with your current setup. When I was going for 4.0 i decided it was time to upgrade the fan. Super loud, but I got a high OC on air. Im running 1.584V now and its been running like a champ
 
it is at 1.3250v, 1.3 is for 3.6GHz, i would guess stock is 1.2850v
1.3150 was unstable at 3.7GHz :(
@oerllikon going higher than 3.7 comes at the cost of cool n quiet, not a feature i will give up

do we have spoiler bbcode tags here? i could make the sensor data use less space on the page

@keny what is "skt"?
