Forum Overclocking : Chipsets & Bios Using cpucool

Hello i have a dell xps 720, and the chipset is nForce 680I SLI chipset, which cpucool says is included in all.


But what i dont get is, i already have ntune install and oc'd to 2.7, but when i load cpucool i get 4 options to choose from and i cant figure out which one is mine, nor does the current frequency of cpucool match my current oc.


The options are nforce 2/3/4/5 and i dont know what to choose. My bios is currently locked so im trying to use/find a program to oc my fsb further.

I tried using a BSEL mod, but i get a BDOS STOP error on boot. If i try to OC past 2.7 in ntune my comp crashes no matter what. It is a a Q6600 intel duo


I once had a working BSEL mod get me up to 3.0 but i got directx BSOD errors and removed it. but it was perfectly stable so why cant i OC my system to 3.0 through ntune?

also, is thier a program you can recommend to me other then CPUcool to OC with.. ty.

Register or log in to remove.

increase all latency (timing) of you ram to max and clock ti min, then try to hit more than 2.7
