My Overclock Safe? E6600 @ 2.7 gHZ

[CloE]

my P5B-E acting weird lately, sometime it won't boot, i have to switch memory to different slots to make it work. the memory sticks are fine, maybe i put too much voltage to the board at 1.475.

so don't give too much voltage to board or memory

clarkey01 I notice you have the same board as I do. When increasing FSB this board doesn't bother to change memory timings, instead basing them off your ratio. In that case it may set too tight timings even with your DDR2-800 memory. What I would do is find out the timings on them at DDR2-667 and manually set those, then put the FSB to 333.

I'm not able to change the voltage is the bios, the screenshots I showed you only give me a few options with Vcore such as "Ignore". I didnt overclock via the bio I did it through an Asus overclocking GUI..

So what I really need is a way to decrease the voltage....But it seems I cant do this via the bios, since you have the same board and I take it bios, how do you change the vcore? like steps of how to?


Thanks for your help darkfalz

here's my bios screenshots

To change the voltage in the BIOS, you select the Jumperfree Menu

And then set AI Tuning to manual, and you get the complete list of options:

Wow, i didn't know that..only 1.17V..
I have OC'ed my E6600 to 3ghz successfully and in CPU-Z and other utils I am on 1.328v (default). Fitted with arctic cooler 7 pro.

I guess I will have a try in reducing the CPU voltage!

Good luck! Don't forget to report back on how low you managed to take the vcore. I have never seen an E6600 do 3GHz at lower voltage than 1.17V but it would be cool to see someone make it.

Use the BIOS, never that in-windows software rubbish!
