LAAkuma Posted December 10, 2007 Posted December 10, 2007 I have a Maximum Formula SE MB, with the 6750 on a water setup I made from the pet store. I took a little 2 Beta fish tank, used it for the res, and put a 1200lph fish tank pump in it with 1/2 lines. I then lined the pump to the cpu, then from the cpu to the NB, then from the NB to a twin 120 MM fan radiator, then back to the little Beta fish tank. at 3.5 GHZ, I can get the computer under full load for an hour to do 33 C. And the NB only goes to 31 C. But I clocked it at 3.6, as thats stable. I only increased the CPU core voltage to 1.4 and everything else is on AUTO. The ram is 450 FSB. I am assuming this is a real good result, and I read all the overclocking guides, but I am unsure what I should stop at. Should I put the core up around 1.6 volts and put the memory up around 480 or something to gear 3.9 GHZ or something? Is around 55C the max the CPU should ever hit if I want it to last like 3 years? I also lapped the CPU with fine grit sand paper as well as the waterblock. I think my waterblock is something like a 1/2 AquaExtrememP05 special edition or something like that. Are my results any good? normal? Anybody suggest what I should do from here? Thanks. LAAkuma Share this post Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Katana Posted December 13, 2007 Posted December 13, 2007 Well, I'm no serious overclocker but if you got a 1ghz increase from your chip that sounds good to me. You probably could get a lot more from that motherboard. Don't increase the voltage too much, only if it's needed. Let the sucker burn at that speed for a while. Then try to get it up to 3.8 without a voltage increase. If it works be happy with that because when you aproach the 4Ghz barrier watercooling stups especially improvised ones tend to not help that much...

I would try to keep your volts at or under 1.55 for 24/7 use... Share this post Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
philbrown23 Posted December 13, 2007 Posted December 13, 2007 I heard that putting two fish in the tank will give you an extra 100Mhz. I would try to keep your volts at or under 1.55 for 24/7 use... lol! yeah you could probably squeeze 500mhz out of the volts you have. increase the volts in small increments like you are at 1.4 the next step would be 1.44 or 1.46 small increments going from 1.4 to 1.6 could fry the cpu then it wouldn't matter if you put 2 fish in the bowl you'd be up the creek without a paddle.

road-runner Posted December 13, 2007 Posted December 13, 2007 Please stop posting rubbish... I have noticed this also. According to Intel they are saying 1.5v max if you want your cpu to last for a long time providing you have proper cooling. I have ran mine with 1.65 for a few hours benchmarking in the forum wars and ran it at 1.55 24/7 for awhile, and over time I have had to reduce my clock down from 3996Mhz to 3870 to keep it stable. I have talked to a couple other people with the same chip E6850 and theres has done the same thing. They say its something to do with magnetic something another that happens to the cpu with high voltage. From now on I am trying to keep all of mine 1.5 or less for 24/7 use.

philbrown23 Posted December 13, 2007 Posted December 13, 2007 Please stop posting rubbish... rubbish??? so you would advise someone to makew a jump like that??? I sure wouldnt thats nuts! I wasn't saying thats it would not hit that I said not to make jumps like that, I just told him the same thing that everybody told me when I frst joined, and if that is "rubbish" then you have alot of people to tell to stop posting it!

On a C2D provided proper cooling I would start out as I usually do on 1.5 to 1.55v and find my max OC. Thats jumping from stock to to 1.5v. Also 1.6v will not burn it up provided you have the cooling, the chip will not last as long as it will at 1.5v, also there are some guys running 1.8v with phase cooling.

The reason it is rubbish is because you don't understand what you're saying. You're just repeating what you've heard without really understanding the concept, and that doesn't help anyone. And the reason that I know you don't understand it is because you've mixed up the advice in translation, and your statement is incorrect, though your intended message may not be. You are right, you should not make large jumps like 1.4v to 1.6v all in one swing. That's true. But the reason is NOT because it will fry the chip. Most of these new Intel chips can handle that with adequate cooling. The real reason not to do this is because by taking smaller steps, you can find the voltage you really need, and not just go for overkill. If you just jump right to 1.6v, you'll never know if 1.55v may have been enough. Heck, at that rate, maybe 1.425v was enough. You take small steps to make sure you're not overdoing it because it's smart to run as little voltage as possible and still be stable. I appreciate your eagerness to participate, but when you're just repeating things you heard somewhere else and don't understand, it doesn't help anyone.

LAAkuma Posted December 13, 2007 Posted December 13, 2007 I got a huge fish tank wish Oscars next to my Computer. But I can't put fish in the Res because its not water its non-inductive liquid. Its very heavy and slimy I wish I knew what I was doing, after I go into the mid 3650 range the screen starts to "glitch" every few seconds. I tried raising the CPU core way up, that did not help anything. Then I tried raising the NB, SB, and CPU TT thing up, that didnt work either. Maybe 460 FSB is the most this ram can take? I even put the ram volts at 2.3v Can;t get it to 460. What could it be? the dram timings are 6/6/6/6/15 I loosened them all up. Its making me feel noob! lol.

Demonoid Posted December 13, 2007 Posted December 13, 2007 (edited) i am no expert by any means and dont claim to be, i am a mere engineer of aircraft that enjoys technology but i always put a high voltage through the cpu to find the max overclock quickly then work back for stability and then stability whilst being energy efficient. My only advice be it small is that research the max cpu allowable voltage and if you want to pump that into it straight away then so be it but keep an eye on them temps. Please stop posting rubbish... if you are gonna flame somebody so quickly atleast give an explanation as to why he is talking rubbish and then the next time somebody needs advice he will be able to give the correct response. regards demonoid (if my post is rubbish please dont flame me lol) :thumbs-up: Edited December 13, 2007 by Demonoid Share this post Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
