Q6600 owners I need you help

[RussianSensation]

Forgot to say that in order to be able to manually set ram timings, you have to click in screenshot BIOS 1:

DRAM timing control --> change it to Manual

Set CAS# to 5
RAS to Cas to 5
RAS precharge to 5
RAS Activate to Precharge to 15

Also under the Advanced Tab:

- disable Intel's C1E support
- Max CPUID Value Limit - Disabled
- disable Virtualization technology
- CPU TM Function - Enabled
- Execute Disable Bit - enabled
- Intel Speedstep - Disabled

Don't forget you can save your new profile under Tools by creating a profile. This way you can have your standard profile vs. your overclocking profile.

In AI Tweaker

- AI Overclock Tuner to Manual
- CPU Ratio Setting - set to 9.0
- FSB Strap to North Bridge - I believe you should set this to 266mhz (double check that corresponds to 1:1 in CPU-Z)
- DRAM Frequency - Set to DDR Auto for now but make sure to check CPU-Z what it reports because you might have to adjust it
- For DRAM timing control - it might take a while to figure out best timings, so set to Auto for now (1st Information - set 5-5-5-15-Auto- Auto- Auto - Auto)
*2nd and 3rd Information leave to auto

- Mem OC Charger - set t o Auto
- Ai clock twister - auto
- ai transaction booster - auto

For CPU voltage as long as you type in 1400 it doesn't matter since it should set it at 1.40V.
- Leave GTL CPU voltages at Auto
- Northbridge GTL voltages are trial and error for each individual chipset, what works for one may not work for all.

Alternatively you can download AI Suite which might make it easier for you to focus on key parts after. You can also get Fan Expert to control fan speed in windows.

Asus PC Probe will help you monitor voltages in windows.

By the way it looks of it, you have to use the +/- keys ans scroll through them to enter your voltages as it stats over to the right in your photo. I have never heard of Anyone manually setting a voltage in bios? That would be/could be extreemly dangerous if you were to not enter a proper voltage setting. ie; 12.5 as opposed to 1.25 as an example.
So, if necessary, read your manual and confirm what you have to do to make changes.

That does appear to be an option on the P5q... I agree it is dangerous ..

Just the other day in the ' EO ' thread , I mistakenly typed in ' 1.81 ' rather than 1.18 reporting my E8600 vcore...

I have a P5Q-E, the do allow you to use pg-up and pg-down (or is it the up arrow and down arrow) While they don't display a list of voltages, they do let you scroll through them.

I guess Im undervolting mine because I am at 1.2 v and 3.2 GHZ (that makes me happy really )

 

[clarkey01]

ha a bios update let me add in the "." I actually undervolted down to a voltage of 1.201 and was prime95 stable after 5 hours.

 

[firewolfsm]

1.15V @ 2.9GHz stable.

 

[zerogear]

1.325 @ 3.2GHz

 

[gplracer]

Try 1.32v. It works for me at 3.2ghz as well. When I increased the vid voltage I got the blue screen of death for some reason.
