Raphie Posted January 3, 2008 Posted January 3, 2008 I've just moved from my DFI NF4 Ultra-D with x2 4400+ towards a new C2D system, The components are the following: Intel C2D 6750 ASUS P5KR Mainboard 4x 1gb OCZ XTC Platinum DDR2-800 My question is, how far can i clock the CPU and RAM? and is there some C2D OC noob guide somewhere? I know how to work my Prime95 but i am a bit lost in FSB ratios, mem dividers etc. Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Splave Posted January 3, 2008 Posted January 3, 2008 Should do atleast 400x8 (mine does it stock) ram 1:1 would be spot on 800mhz. There are a bunch of guides out there, its easy to transfer knowledge though if you know hot to oc AMD? Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Raphie Posted January 3, 2008 Posted January 3, 2008 Yah, AMD was easy is this just rasing the FSB as well and adjust the dividers? I have not been online with OC'ing for almost 2 years, so i am a bit behind on the current naming and technology:p To add to that, my system is used in the living purely as HTPC so i look for settings on auto Vcore to leverage lower multipliers and vcore when idle i would also prefer top ram speed over max cpu speed so 3.2Gh @ 800Mhz would be doable at stock settings?

killagorilla187 Posted January 3, 2008 Posted January 3, 2008 Raphie, if you think AMD ocing is easy you going to be dumbfounded by how easy these C2D's OC. Did you mean 3.2 @ stock voltages? If so thats a maybe, you might need to bump up vcore a notch or two but only trial and error can tell. G'luck to ya Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
ZACKYO Posted January 4, 2008 Posted January 4, 2008 Hello my E6750... 400x8 @ 3.2G no problem i have not even touch vcore yet plus these chips not as hot as AMD.. Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Raphie Posted January 4, 2008 Posted January 4, 2008 Now that was EASY Raised the FSB to 400, system boots perfectly Raised to 425, system still boots fine (memory is now DDR2-880) Had 6 hours of dual prime95 instances without a hitch, so can assume that this sytem is pretty stable at 3.400Mhz :drool: This a a nice and clean overclock on stock volts and with SpeedStep still intact. Think i am gonna stick to this as it suits the HTPC ver well:p Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
WakeUpDead Posted January 6, 2008 Posted January 6, 2008 I would run prime or Orthos for 24hrs before locking up the box and calling it stable, you never know! I have my 6850 at stock volts and running at 400x9 24/7 for a week now(3.6ghz) I still wouldnt give it to a customer that way and call it stable for his use, Im just saying. I have seen them running 6ghz on dry ice, pumping them up to 2+volts! Crazy people! You got to love these chips though. I do miss the satifaction of a nice AMD chip, running from 2ghz to 3 or more, that was an accomplishment. Well, you know all that!
