Simple overclocking for you're E6750

[mcrooster]

I found this post on Tom's Hardware Forums and thought i'd share, its a very good overclocking for dummies with E6750's who want a moderate overclock.

Before overclocking
Disable All CPU features like Enhanced Speed Step, C1E(Enhanced Halt State), TM2....Etc

Set Vcore to manual and set it to about 1.25 volts (Standard Vcore for ur CPU)

1. Lower the DRAM frequency to 667MHZ from 800Mhz so it will be FSB:RAM=1:1

Update : Set ur PCIe frequency to Manual and set it to 100MHz just to be sure it wont go high and do Video card Probs

2. Increase the FSB to 400MHz from 333Mhz(your stock speed) dont change the multiplyer leave it at 8 or Auto.
When you do this ur DRAM frequency will increase to 800MHz so itll be running on stock speed, No OC on Ram

3. And u got a overclock of 3.2GHz

4. And if ur system is not stable enough Increase the Vcore just a little bit and itll all be fine...

5. Keep ur Eye on the CPU temp all the time, dont let them pass : CPU temp>65 Core#0 >75 Core#1 >75...use speed fan or Core Temp to monitor the Temps

6. Run Orthos for a few hours to test the Stability..if it dont return any errors u are all done

Remember this the simplest OCing u can do..

happy Ocing dont fry ur CPU.


I gather the same applies for overclocking a Q6600 as well.
Follow the same steps except set the Vcore to 1.3 (stock voltage for the Q6600), lower the multi from 9 to 8 then increase fsb to 400mhz, it will put the dram 1:1, and you have a simple overclock of 3.2GHz.

Let me know if you found this usefull and if there are any mistakes, i know for alot of you this is pretty basic stuff but oc'ing still scares the sh!t out of alot of people so just trying to help.

my e6750 has a vcore of 1.35.

Q6600 is fsb1066 instead of 1333. many people have gotten to 9x400 on one, but good luck doing that at stock vcore!

Ummm...its been a few years since I overclocked (like 3!). I'm going with the E6750 instead of the q6600 right now to save a few bucks but does one turn on all the fun goodies again (enhanced speed step, etc.) once you have a stable overclock?

Why would you turn off speedstep? Isn't that there to automatically lower power consumption when your computer just sits there doing nothing?

Sounds like pretty solid advice. The built-in overclock settings on my Asus P5LD2 are fairly similar to what you posted. It underclocks the ram then boosts the CPU. Memory that normally detects as PC5300 is detected as PC3200, and CPU goes from 2.4 to 3.2Ghz; the computer is rock solid in terms of hardware stability.

In any event, why would you manually set the voltage? I always try to keep stuff set to Automatic as long as possible just because the computer knows a hell of a lot more than I do.

Seems good except the part to make everything manual. That's a good way to fry your computer.

And also, it's not a good idea to keep everything auto. For instance, my BIOS default is not to sound a buzzer if the CPU fan stops working. This is bad if you are OCing. You want it to buzz if your fan stops working.
