klena Posted September 13, 2010 Posted September 13, 2010 Hi, This is my first time overclocking and I'm just wondering if someone could check and see if I've input the right figures. As I'm on a tight budget at the moment, I thought I'd try to squeeze some more life out of my current rig but I think I may have done something wrong because on the loading screen and on CPU-Z, it still shows 2.4Ghz (266x9). My CPU cooler is stock as I'm unable to get an after market cooler to fit onto my motherboard. My gears are: CPU : E6600 2.4Ghz Motherboard : Gigabyte GA965P-DQ6 rev 3.3 Case : Cooler Master Stacker 831 PSU : Silverstone Strider ST85F 850W Case Fans : 2 additional - Noctua NF-S12-1200 120mm fans RAM : Kingston HyperX with heat sink 4Gb 1066 DDR2 kit - Timing: 5-5-5-15 @ 2.2v-2.3v HDD : WD SATA2 1Tb + WD SATA2 500Gb Graphics Card : Winfast Leadtek 8800GTS - 512Mb The settings in the Bios are set to : [ADVANCED BIOS FEATURES] Limit CPUID Max to 3...........................Disabled No-Execute Memory Protection.............Disabled CPU Enhanced Halt (C1E).....................Disabled CPU Thermal Monitor 2C (TM2)..............Disabled CPU E1ST Function..............................Disabled Virtualized Technology.........................Disabled Full Screen LOGO Show........................Disabled Init Display First....................................PCI [MB INTELLIGENT TWEAKER (M.I.T)] Robust Graphics Booster.........................AUTO CPU Clock Ratio (Multiplier)......................9 CPU Host Clock Control...........................Enabled CPU Host Frequency (MHZ)......................390 PCI Express Frequency (MHZ)..................AUTO CIA2...................................................Disabled System Memory Multiplier........................AUTO Memory Frequency (MHZ)........................800 1080 High Speed DRAM DLL Settings..................[OPTION 1] **********SYSTEM VOLTAGE OPTIMIZED*********** System Voltage Control............................[AUTO] DDR2 Overvoltage Control.........................Normal < These settings are PCI-E Overvoltage Control.........................Normal < shaded out. (G) MCH Overvoltage Control.....................Normal < FSB Overvoltage Control...........................Normal < CPU Voltage Control.................................Normal < Normal CPU Vcore....................................1.32500v [/url] TAT 100% Workload after 30mins. Core #0 32ºC >>>> 58ºC Core #2 30ºC >>>> 54ºC Prime95 test shows no errors. Did I do everything right? And if I did, where do I find the new Ghz? I know overclocking on stock cooler is not a good idea but I don't know a way to fit an after market on this board and I don't really want to get rid of the build in heat sink. If anyone has any ideas it would be welcomed. I'm aiming to try to get this CPU to 3.33Ghz. At the moment its suppose to be 3.24Ghz but I can't see where is it showing that. :confused: Any help would be greatly appreciated.

Locutus Posted September 13, 2010 Posted September 13, 2010 "Core Speed" on CPU-Z is where you'll see your current speed. I have a feeling that you had an over-zealous overclock and your motherboard reset to default (it happens to me occasionally.)

Should "Init Display First" be PCI ? I'm trying to do this after reading several guides and getting utterly confused. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
