Overclocking my Q6600 currently at 3.2GHz with a ASUS Rampage Formula X48.
I am after some good clocks with the Q6600 paired with the Rampage board. If you have the same board and CPU as me, tell me your clock, voltages and other necessary voltages.

My PCI-E frequency is at 100, I was told any higher then 100, it could hurt the graphic card?

Generally leaving it at 100 is the safest, although pushing it up to 125 some times can allow for better overclocks on the card.

I keep my PCI-E at 107. You should have no problem getting your quad to 3.6ghz. I run mine at 3.6ghz 1.328v 24/7 stable.

Bump. I try booting with 3.4GHz. I raise the FSB to 378 so it's 378 x 9 (CPU Ratio is 9) so that's 3.4GHz but even when I increase the CPU Voltage slightly, increase all the other voltages I still can't boot. My temperatures are fine so it's not that. I'd like to hit 3.4 if I can.

try these settings. voltages and Gtl's are VERY important and if they are off even a bit the board wont post at all.

Can anyone edit out ZenEffects settings and replace them for me and give me good/stable voltages?

I'll give it a go. Will my RAM be ok at 2.2V? It's at 2.1V right now.

You may have to play with the volts on the Northbridge & Southbridge. Check your defaults, and add 0.1v to each of them for starters.
CPU PLL Voltage : +0.1 North Bridge Voltage : +0.1 FSB Termination Voltage : +0.1 South Bridge Voltage : +0.1 Loadline Calibration : Enabled The other thing is check what your memory is set to, as you increase your FSB, it may increase the memory speeds on some boards. If you have DDR2-1066 try to keep it in the 1060 to 1100 range. If you have DDR2-800 try to keep it in the 800-850 range. Lastly, you may want to check your strap speeds, what are your options for that? FSB Strap to North Bridge : 400

I have managed to get it stable and booted fine.
http://valid.x86-secret.com/show_oc.php?id=375172 I think my CPU Voltage is at 1.37. Is that fine or could I go a notch down one more? |

. Do you think anyone would trade my Q6600 for even the Q9450? I'd love a Q9450 instead .Doubt it! Trade, fit? lol Last edited by J-Man; Jun 14, 2008 at 12:42 AM. |
