shmuls Posted July 19, 2007 Posted July 19, 2007 I'm a n00b overclocker, but have been working and living with computers for some time so I know my way around (only laptops, thus no overclicking experience). I recently purchased myself a new rig (spec below) and was keen to try out the potential of the E6700. but when I tried to push the chip AT ALL it just wouldn't post!! Eventually, I found this guide, as it is exactly my MoBo and Bios, and changed the voltage settings as suggested. However, even now I can only get it stable at 3.2, and it won't post at anything past 3.35. My personal goal was 3.66, which I know to be possible with this chip, and don't understand where I'm going wrong!

kingdingeling Posted July 19, 2007 Posted July 19, 2007 can you list what your voltages are? On all of the settings? Also, what is your RAM multiplier at? Share this post Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
shmuls Posted July 19, 2007 Posted July 19, 2007 can you list what your voltages are? On all of the settings? Also, what is your RAM multiplier at? -Memory Multiplier [2.00] (i.e. 1:1) - lock PCI-E frequency at [100 MHz] -DDR2-Overvoltage [2.0v] -PCI-E Overvoltage [Normal or +0.05] -(G)MCH Overvoltage [+0.1] -FSB Overvoltage [+0.1] -CPU Voltage [1.4v] Share this post Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
kingdingeling Posted July 19, 2007 Posted July 19, 2007 two culprits, DDR2 Voltage should be at 2.1V's for most RAM, and CPU voltage needs to be more than 1.4V's for those kinna speeds. My E6400 needs 1.4V's to do 3.2, but for more I need significantly more volts. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

kingdingeling Posted July 19, 2007 Posted July 19, 2007 yes, the RAM might not be able to take it! Had similar issues with my GeIL's, the chips just need 2.1V's or more to function anywhere from crap! Share this post Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

kingdingeling Posted July 20, 2007 Posted July 20, 2007 mhh, that's weird. You could try bumping the FSB and (G)MCH voltages up a wee bit more, as I recon some boards need a lot of voltage on that for stable OCing. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Waco Posted July 20, 2007 Posted July 20, 2007 The crappy PSU might have something to do with it as well. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
kingdingeling Posted July 20, 2007 Posted July 20, 2007 I doubt that actually, as the system is not really demanding with a 6200LE. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
