    HOWTO: Overclock C2Q (Quads) and C2D (Duals) - A Guide v1.7

    Alright, thanks for the confirmation. It just raised my suspicion that cpu-z initially reported a 6x multiplier and an orthos torture test still displayed it to be 6x after 45 odd minutes of testing. I've got a Zalman 9700, I got this system from Scan.co.uk and previously had their 3XS...

    HOWTO: Overclock C2Q (Quads) and C2D (Duals) - A Guide v1.7

    Is my CPU speed being throttled? Here At full load im getting steady temps of 65-66 on two cores and 63 on the other two. When I first loaded up cpu-z it had my CPU speed at 305x6, despite the fact it's set at 305x10. It eventually updated to the correct value, but on instance of Orthos is...

    Help! I tried to OC and owned myself

    Yeah, the Abit IP35 Pro he has uses the ratio. I have the same board and will be overclocking it sometime soon, can't say this was the most encouraging of threads for me ;p But then I have read up on enough guides here to know why jumping straight to 333mhz with no other changes is a bad thing...

    Basic OC info needed

    A quick question to do with basic OCing: Ignoring ram speeds and ratios for the moment, is there any difference between a CPU running at, say, 8x450Mhz and one running at 9x400Mhz (both for a total of 3.6Ghz) assuming the mobo supports these fsb speeds? Is it better to increase either...

    HOWTO: Overclock C2Q (Quads) and C2D (Duals) - A Guide v1.7

    Sorry for the semi-necro, but I'm having problems setting up Prime95, specifically enabling the important error-checking option. This is all I see, the option is greyed-out and can't be enabled :S e: I'm running Vista if that wasn't obvious, could that have something to do with it?
