Overclock my 2.8C

[Circaflex]

Ok well i had my cpu die on my after my psu blew so i rma'd with intel and they sent me a new one. Its a 30-cap 2.8C SL6Z5 Costa Rica Chip FPO/BATCH 3419A483 Pack Date 6/11/04. Now im wondering what do you think i should hit on this its the M0 stepping my other m0 wouldnt hit past 235 fsb. Now what should i immediatly do to get my highest overclock. A few people said before i did some things wrong so what should i do firstly what settings in teh bios should i use?

SL6Z5 is an M0..should do 3.5Ghz (250fsb) on stock vcore, and more on just a small increase.

See my sig, the 2.8 is a wonderful chip

on that mobo/ram, run the 5:4 ratio for better oc

what about these PAT settings i hear about what should i put those to?

 

[mattspalace]

Auto-Auto-Auto-Disabled-Disabled. - and yes most M0 2.8C's seem to do 3.5GHz pretty easy, beyond that is more of a crap shoot..

Noob question here. How can I figure out my Spec # my intel chip is and what cap it is?

Do I have to actually look at the processor itself?

Edit: Here is a shot of my cpu-z

I'm not sure about the spec number, try here if you haven't already: http://processorfinder.intel.com/scripts/default.asp

To find out if you have 30-cap you need to look at it.

the 30-cap 2.8C's are the newer ones.

what bios settings should i disable right away? I iknow to lock my agp/pci but what certain things should i disable to get the perfect overclock.

[i/]disable the onscreen intel logo [/i]

set the GAT / PAT settings as recommended before and increase the AGP available memory (more=better)
