kaupee Posted February 3, 2010 Posted February 3, 2010 hi guys.im new and i would like to ask the pros here,how far can i bump my clockspeed for my processor. the setup is Intel C2D E7500 2.93ghz with noctua NH-c12p ASUS P5P43TD pro 2 x 2gb Team Elite ddr3 1333mhz Sapphire 5750 DDR5 1GB Vapor-X CM eXtreme power plus 460w CM elite 335 for the casing. i can only manage 333fsb x 10 ratio,3.3ghz on 1.31250v. pls advice me on how to go higher.i believe this processor has more potential than just 3.3ghz thx in advance bros Share this post Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Bizzlenitch Posted February 3, 2010 Posted February 3, 2010 You will likely need to add some voltage to either your CPU or the northbridge, or both. Not familiar with the mobo you're using but I'd highly recommend you read through the guide to overclocking Core 2 Duos here on the OCC site. It's not really a "plug in this number and go" proposition. Check out the guide and then if you still have questions concerning a particular subject contained within the guide, ask. There isn't really anything here that someone can tell you that you can't read for yourself in the overclocking guide. It's quite informative.

RHKCommander959 Posted February 3, 2010 Posted February 3, 2010 3.6ghz shouldn't be a stretch for the cpu. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
kaupee Posted February 3, 2010 Posted February 3, 2010 but i cant get it stable,even jerking the vcore up till 1.33++ u oc this processor before bro?? Share this post Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Bizzlenitch Posted February 3, 2010 Posted February 3, 2010 Not exactly sure your stock voltage, but you should be able to determine that by seeing what your BIOS sets it at. I wouldn't go any higher than 1.3 volts or so. I'm not too familiar with the P43 chipset so I'm assuming it's similar to the P45 chipset. Do some research and some reading. It'll serve you well in your endeavors. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
RHKCommander959 Posted February 3, 2010 Posted February 3, 2010 done an e7300 before, not familair first hand with your motherboard though. check northbridge voltage what tells you its unstable- bsods, cant boot, failing stability tests?? I've taken an e2160 higher then that check your bios and tell us what voltage options you got, see if its got a strap too for mem Share this post Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
kaupee Posted February 4, 2010 Posted February 4, 2010 (edited) when i tried 3.5ghz.POST msg will show up then when it tries to boot to windows,it will automatically restart. sure i'll check the voltage options when i get home Edited February 4, 2010 by kaupee Share this post Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
RHKCommander959 Posted February 4, 2010 Posted February 4, 2010 what temp is cpu at in bios? does bios report the approx. voltages? Share this post Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
wevsspot Posted February 4, 2010 Posted February 4, 2010 What strap/divider are you using for your memory multiplier? You cant just crank up the FSB and vcore without addressing the resulting memory speed and timings. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
shiver_8 Posted February 4, 2010 Posted February 4, 2010 Don't touch the vcore. I can hit 4ghz on my stock vcore and these chips should do at least 600mhz more on stock vcore too. The E7500 should hit 4.5ghz with around 1.45-1.5v Share this post Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
