E6750 2.66 + ABIT IP35-E Overclocking

[nishiyama]

I received the parts for my new computer:

- ABIT IP35-E
- E6750 2.66GHz
- Crucial Ballistix 2GB PC2 6400
- Antec Solo
- Antec earthwatts EA500

I am thinking about over clocking the system a bit and am looking for some feedback on tested FSB x Multiplier combos with this rig.

The cooling solution I currently have on the CPU is the stock hs/fan. I did replace the thermal paste though with some Arctic Silver.

Also as many of you have this case, I am looking for some feedback on additional fans. The front panel can probably take a couple 92mm fans but I wanted to see what you guys have done.

Cheers,
Nish

EDIT:
I think the target I will shoot for is around 3.2Ghz

Also anyone found decent 92mm fans for the front of the Antec Solo?

I like the low speed 92mm Panaflos special sleeved bearing.

To overclock, use 1:1 memory divider. Manually set Vdimm and timing to specs. Raise Vcore to +10% of VID. Dial-in 400MHz FSB. Save BIOS.

Thanks for the OC tips... What did you mean Raise Vcore to +10% of VID?

Raise the voltage of the CPU 10% of ...

Yeah...that's what he means. It takes your nominal vCore and add 10% of the original value to it. For example my e6600 takes 1.35vCore out of the box, and + 10% VID would be 1.485vCore.

You should hit 3.2GHz with ease if you set your 6750 (with 8x multi) to 400FSB and overvolt your CPU by 10%. Most 6750's seem to hit 3.2 with much less of an overvolt than that, but it's a good place to start from. Just begin to back vCore down until you find you lose stability. Keep track of your temps while stressing it too (via CoreTemp).

Edit: + 10% VID should net you 3.4-3.6ish depending on your CPU if you have good cooling and properly set the rest of the BIOS (Ram Dividers, etc...)

Thanks for the info! I will give that a go once I get an elusive 8800GT
