Perfalc46 Posted April 29, 2007 Posted April 29, 2007 I'm building a new desktop with E6600, Gigabyte P965-DS3 MB, Patriot DDR2 PC2 6400 (CAS 4-4-4-12, 2.2V), Antec Smart Power 2.0 500W PSU and Nvidia GeForce 7300LE PCI-E video card. I've built desktops before, but this is my first time at overclocking. CAD apps. rather than gaming is my primary goal. Can the E6600 be overclocked stably to 3.0 GHz? I've read the Core2D Overclocking Guide but still have many questions. Thanks for any assistance you can provide. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
road-runner Posted April 29, 2007 Posted April 29, 2007 Yes it should be able to do that with no problems even on stock cooling. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

road-runner Posted April 29, 2007 Posted April 29, 2007 You should be able to get 3.2Ghz with after market cooling. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
kingdingeling Posted April 29, 2007 Posted April 29, 2007 with a little voltage increase easily 3.4! I have my E6400 at 3.2 with a SI-120 easily! Share this post Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Perfalc46 Posted April 29, 2007 Posted April 29, 2007 You should be able to get 3.2Ghz with after market cooling. What settings do you use on your rig to achieve 3.2 GHz? Share this post Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
road-runner Posted April 29, 2007 Posted April 29, 2007 I am using 1.35v vcore, 356 X 9=3.2Ghz, RAM 4-4-4-15 @ 2.25 volts or +.35 volts, Memory Multiplier of 2=1:1, MCH=+.10 volts, FSB= +.5 volts on the rig in my sig. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Ste Posted April 29, 2007 Posted April 29, 2007 I am using 1.35v vcore, 356 X 9=3.2Ghz, RAM 4-4-4-15 @ 2.25 volts or +.35 volts, Memory Multiplier of 2=1:1, MCH=+.10 volts, FSB= +.5 volts on the rig in my sig. Im confused the one in your sig says 3.62 Ghz Stable?? Share this post Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
road-runner Posted April 29, 2007 Posted April 29, 2007 Im confused the one in your sig says 3.62 Ghz Stable?? That was OCCT stable but folding will not run with vmware and linux over 3.2Ghz or I get a SKB bug error. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
kingdingeling Posted April 29, 2007 Posted April 29, 2007 now thats weird..... did you try to increase the chipset voltage? Share this post Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
road-runner Posted April 29, 2007 Posted April 29, 2007 now thats weird..... did you try to increase the chipset voltage? Yes I did OCCT will say stable, windows SMP folding will run ok. Its only with the vmware and linux. Unforgivin I think had the same problem. The only way I found to get rid of the error was reduce the over clock. I am not the only one These guys at the folding forums are to. Theres a fix here for it but I do not know what to do? Share this post Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
