Atleast 3.2GHz on the CPU.... Apparently, this board is good for overclocking. my friend got it to 3.0 GHz, but I want 3.2. Is it possible? And what settings?

 

[Markfw]

yes, most likely. Didn;t list the ram, and that could be a limiting factor.

Yeah, RAM is semi-important, though with an E6600 you only need DDR2-712 to achieve 3204 MHz 1:1.
I'd suggest these if you want some goood bang for buck stuff that OCs well: http://www.newegg.com/Product/Product.asp?Item=N82E16820150054
That should be able to reach DDR2-1000 w/o much trouble if you want to run higher dividers.

 

[theteamaqua]

it should but good luck, cuz soemtimes people gets crap CPU

 

[JAG87]

are you kidding... if you get a slightly better heatsink like an ultra 120, or a tuniq (which are better than that crap you are buying) you can hope for 3.6

that board will do 400x9 easy. as long as you get PC2-6400 memory you will have no problems.

Drop the Zalman and get yourself a Tuniq Tower 120, Thermalright Ultra 120 or a schythe infinity (better coolers)

And get DDR2 800mhz pc2-6400. Any will do including value ram as long as you get DDR2 800mhz.

You might just be able to reach 3.6ghz on air stable!

I'm running DDR2-1000 5-5-5-12 @ 2.25 volts w/ crucial 10th anniversaryddr2 667 perfectly stable, i'd recommend that

You can't get it anywhere anymore, hence my Firestix recommendation.

That is the RAM
Oh, and I am not building a computer. This is what I already have

Promos...won't overclock well.

With the 680i you can run a divider on the memory below 1:1. So you can run 450Mhz FSb and run your memory lower than 1:1 which would normally be 900Mhz. You can probably run it close to the DDR2-800 spec.

this is what I understand the board has options for.

I have the same stuff and it will do 4-4-4-12 @ 1000 and 2.25 volts

I can't get stability at cas4 DDR2-1000 even with 2.45v but 5-4-4-12 is pretty close.

For the price of that PSU I'd have to recommend Corsair 620HX.

Your RAM is just fine. It can take you all the way up to 3.6ghz if your CPU allows it!

Just make sure you get a better cooler if you decide to go higher since the Zalman 9500LED doesn't perform that well once the processor goes beyond 3.2 or so!

Agree, I have the 520hx and it is excellent. modular cables are higher quality than most modular psus, and the voltages are rock solid.

Hello
I´m running an evga 680i SLI Board togehter with MSI 8800 GTX (650/2100) an an e6600 @ 3800 mhz. Ram is MDT DDr2 800 @ 667
Great performance... eg 3d MArk 2006 1240 x 1024 12900 points!
