For the first time ever, gamers are being treated to a reasonably priced platform enabling the best that AMD and Nvidia have to offer. Is Core i7 a gamer’s nirvana or does the processor serve up more of the same? Read more
After discovering Intel's Overspeed Protection in yesterday's first-look at Core i7's performance, we're back to set the record straight on the overclocking headroom of the flagship 965 Extreme and entry-level Core i7 920. Read more
Core i7--previously referred to as Nehalem--requires new motherboards, coolers and memory. Its performance is compelling and means AMD is falling behind even further, but Intel is putting in some speed bumps that will impact overclocking enthusiasts. Read more
Three dramatically different builds face off in show of performance, defining the real value of each. Our mainstream system is designed to meet the needs of most users. Who should spend more and who can live with less? Read more

Hehe, another 1.3250 VID processor! I Love it. Damn Intel. 3.6 @ 1.440 Loaded or around there! Thats what you can expect from that chip. Your boards VDrop seems minimal, and it should support some version of load line calibration, so turn it on!

Oopsie, test with Prime 95 with the samll FFT on all cores. Watch your Current VCore value with CPUz. You want it near 1.45ish. But we set it a lil high, hopefully, just to be sure its stable. If the testing runs hours long, lower the VCore a notch, or lower it to about 1.45 (loaded) and test. If it fails after a while, add a notch and try again! --Lupi Message edited by Lupiron on 05-17-2008 at 11:55:28 PM |

You should remove the sticks of slow ram before ocing. It'll cause problems. Use same specs ram. --------------- Q6600@3.6ghz, GA-EX38-DS4 motherboard, 8gb 800mhz ddr2 4-3-3-12, 8800GTS(g92)@780mhz, 1TB + 1.5TB hdds, 850watt psu |

I see 2 sticks of DDR 667. Your best start is to set the fsb to 333 and go for 3.0 then work from there. The jump from 3.0 to 3.6 eats about an extra 100 watts so make sure the psu is a good one. Make sure the ram is set to 1:1 (gigabyte may call this a ram multiplier of 2.0) Also with your board(gigabyte boards in general) to access all the extra features hit CTRL + F1 when you first enter the bios. All the options you need should be under Motherboard Intelligent Tweaker. Always test with prime95 and try to keep the load temps under 65 MAX(B3, under 60 is better) or under 75 MAX(G0, under 70 is better). The lower the temps the better. My G0 @ 3.0(stock voltage) is 45,45,48,50 in a 22c room(i just cleaned the fans and wow 5-7 c cooler) at load. Message edited by nukemaster on 05-18-2008 at 12:22:48 AM ---------------

Ahh! Dagger since my motherboard is the same as youra, i used your settings to try 3.6GHz and it was a no go! But I am using the f7 BIOS which is the latest version, IMO should I have stayed with the F3? And if so, how do I downgrade??? Thanks. |

Lol, I didn't know they released so many versions. Haven't checked. If anything, new versions should be better, not worse. Did you remove the sticks of slow ram? If not, that's what's holding you back. Remove them and see if it works. Edit: Opps, you're someone else, not OP, lol...

Use prime95 for stress test: If stress tested stable for at least 30 minutes, restart and slowly decrease CPU Voltage to the point where it starts to lose stability, then tune it up a notch. The goal is finding the lowest vcore needed to run stable, and keep it there. --------------- Q6600@3.6ghz, GA-EX38-DS4 motherboard, 8gb 800mhz ddr2 4-3-3-12, 8800GTS(g92)@780mhz, 1TB + 1.5TB hdds, 850watt psu |
