kiikkuja Posted January 25, 2007 Posted January 25, 2007 Hi ya all!! It's very nice to see this awesome site back up again!! Just wanted to ask how much would you recommend using volts OC:ing this thing. It seems that my cpu isn't the better ones so it needs some volts to oc. I've been searching couple of times this thing and haven't found anything yet. ps. i'm going to use it 24/7 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Retrospekt Posted January 25, 2007 Posted January 25, 2007 Voltage isnt a setting that you should set at the beginning of an overclock. Raise your fsb up by 5 until it either is unstable or doesnt boot, then you can play around with ram settings, ratios, and voltage. Until then though, you shouldnt be touching voltage.

PLATOON Posted January 25, 2007 Posted January 25, 2007 I have just ordered a opty 175. What voltage is norm for a 175? I have had a 3700+ sandy running at 2.8ghz for a year now on 1.55 volts (stock is 1.425 i think). What is stock for the 175 and what is a good voltage to start an overclock at?

Start with stock voltage, you might get to 2.8ghz with stock voltage Share this post Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
kiikkuja Posted January 29, 2007 Posted January 29, 2007 Right now i haven't got the time to do things properly but i think that my PSU is holding me back. In the weekend i tried with 1.32 volts and upping it little short of 1.4v. My memory ins't the thing im pretty sure. I got as high as 220FSB ~1.4V and Orthos failed.

knopflerbruce Posted January 29, 2007 Posted January 29, 2007 You haven't told us your stepping yet... Curious about which one you have, most ppl say that good 175's are rare. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
kiikkuja Posted January 29, 2007 Posted January 29, 2007 The stepping is CCBWE 0551VPMW1392526L51327. I had to take my waterblock off to check it...when i tried to OC i kept my ram on a divider so it was around ddr 400. How much should the volts change between load/idle? Or should there be any change? Share this post Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Or should there be any change? There really shouldn't be a change in volts between load and idle. What model of Mushkin RAM do you have? What are you using to monitor your temps? From what I've seen from CCBWE's they normally won't go past around 2.6 or 2.7 unless you get really lucky. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
kiikkuja Posted January 30, 2007 Posted January 30, 2007 My ram is HP3200...MBM 5...so my PSU AND my proc are pieces of .?! crap aargh. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
s10man69 Posted January 30, 2007 Posted January 30, 2007 The CCBWE 0551 aren't the best. You will probably not likely hit 2.8ghz. Newegg last I heard was shipping 3.0ghz capable 165's... Anywho, here is a thread for you to look over and see what you should expect from your CPU: http://www.xtremesystems.org/forums/showthread.php?t=96900 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
kiikkuja Posted January 30, 2007 Posted January 30, 2007 They sell them here too but i'm short on money so i have to manage with this. Hopefully i get some cash next month so i can atleast buy new PSU. I had stability problems with my +3500 too. Has anybody the same PSU as mine? Currently i'm running stock...but when i have the time i'm going to get some results to post in here. BTW nobody answered the original question i had...
