First Time Intel Overclocking help

[Skywalker12345]

hi everyone i am about to receive my trade with 3dsage that contains a

DFI LanParty UT P35-T2R

AND

Intel Core 2 Duo E6300

Ups man should be here around 5

any suggestions for overclocking?

 

[erocker]

You'll find it to be easier than AMD most likely. Just start raising that FSB slowly and check for stability.

Read the oc'ing stickies in the oc section. And change your avvy.

ha yea i forgot about that! ill get a intel one

 

[3dsage]

This is what I referenced for my GTL settings with the setup, It saves you popping out the CALC.

i have no idea what im doing with this i tried rasing the fsb and i cant change the multi

this is what i got

any suggestions because this isnt stable and i have never overclocked a intel

I still have my e6300, great chip, did 480FSB, 3360MHz @ 1.26v, and 500FSB, 3500MHz @ 1.34v. Well still does! That board should easily take that chip up that far, results may vary, some need 1.5v for 3.5Ghz, either rate they are great chips!

On the multiplier change, if C1E and Speedstep are on it's idling, run Orthos and look at CPU-z again, it will be at 7X unless you selected 6X as the Multi in bios. DFI's have A LOT of bios options, my P35 DK had more than I ever needed or used.

 

[3dsage]

What strap are you using?
BTW you need to do homework on that board, the options are crazy. Just remember to raise the NB voltage and VTT voltage and set the gtl settings according to it.
Check out the edge of stability link for a reference.

With that chip , it will hit 3.0 easily with 1.375 volts.

how do i get the bus speed to stay around 1066 and bump the bus speed?

jumpers or some bios setting?

EDIT: whats a strap?

 

[Kursah]

FSB is X4 on an intel board, so 266=1066MHz on the FSB. I think DFI calls it System Speed, I don't recall anymore.

I did a quick google search, take the time and read through these, it will help you with some settings,

I left Strap on AUTO on my DFI and never had an issue. Really on my P35 Dark and e6300, all I really remember changing was the CPU Voltage, NB to 1.37v, memory to whatever is required at 1:1 (x2) FSB speed..i.e. 400FSB, DDR 800. Different boards need different settings, that is a great board and will also OC quads and 45nm dual/quads quite well too. I do miss my DFI LP Dark P35-T2RS...was a damn good board.

Setting that says Strap/divider
Stick with 266/667 and 333/800, those will usually throw the memory in the 1066 range.

Also set the NB voltage to 1.45 when going around 430 FSB with the GTL at 105
Set the Cpu VTT to 1.43 with GTL's 102,103.

Also leave all your mem settings on auto for the time being, til you get a little stable. If you gonna try to push your mem above 1066, Disable T2 dispatch.

 

[3dsage]

BTW I left a 2.9GHZ profile, in the Cmos reloaded. Check it out if you want its PrimeStable, just change the RAID drive options.

 

[Skywalker12345]

ok thanks for the input ill try some of that out in the morning but i gotta go to bed for school


im tired..

 

[3dsage]

Cool man.
So far im up to 2.8GHZ on the 9950. Gonna push higher by the end of the week.

 

[LittleLizard]

thats the more easy way to overclock a dfi, using the cmos reloaded, just, download the 3dsage profile, set to non raid (unless u wanna run raid) and you will be at 2.9 in a second

 

[JrRacinFan]

Heya lucas ... give me a screenie of your memory tab of CPUz. Also, I could help you out with some of the settings of the bios if you wish.

 

[Skywalker12345]

alright ill do that after school, i acidentally deleted that profile in the bios but ill do tweaking all day today cuz i aint got shit to do!

im going for 3ghz at least

 

[3dsage]

Do some Benchies to man, I wanna see how those Dominators do against my HyperX.
When you get stable make sure to tweak these settings, they cut off alot of time on Super Pi.
Also the 266/667 strap will give you better results but is harder to keep stable after 450FSB.

should i try tjhose settings on my dominators?

 

[3dsage]

As long as theyre running at 1066mhz or lower, they'll take it.

 

[Skywalker12345]

yea they are so ill try those

 

[Skywalker12345]

i tried your guys advice and this is what i got so far

 

[Skywalker12345]

 

[Skywalker12345]

bump

any ideas/pointers im trying for around 3.2 till i get my new cooler!
