Hello! Newbie here. Want to overclock!! I've been reading about gradually increasing the FSB of the CPU, but is there a point at which i can safely jump straight to, from stock speed?

Core 2 E6750 (with thermalright ultra 120 extreme + fan)
Asus P5K-E
2 GB Corsair Dominator RAM 1066MHz
Corsair HX620 PSU
All inside a lovely cool Antec P182 case.

So i've literally just built this system. At idle, my CPU is running at 16-20 degrees C. Vcore = 1.28. So to repeat my main question, rather than increasing the FSB in tiny increments from 333MHz, Is there a point I could safely jump to before making the tiny incremental increases?

Are you using Coretemp and what is your roomtemp?

Try 9x333 first. Go up from there if stable. Read through the guide again before you start.

this is my computer:

power: corsair vx450w
mem: 2x 1GB pqi ddr2 800mhz
processor: E6750
vgard: bfg gf8800 GTS 320 MB OC
MotherB: abit IP35
stock fan
and
windows xp

this is my bios settings:

fsb: 400mhz
multiplier: 8x
cpu:mem: 1:1
vcore 1.37V
ddr2 2.00V
cpu vvt 1.2V
ICH 1.5V
MCH 1.2V
CPU GTLREF 63%

memory setting are 5-5-5-14





i was thinking that i would rase fthe fsb 450, so it would be 3,6ghz.
Could it handle it and what should the vcore be then?

@krazynutz, check it out m8.... http://www.watercoolinguk.co.uk/fo [...] php?t=1635

BUST:

HOLY CRAP! That is one fine-lookin' case m8. Love the custom window. Is the glass slightly tinted? Love it. I like the customization on the front too. Breaks up that panel a bit. The tubing is great. So much better than the tiny plain tubing I've seen. Glossy paint job is great too. I hate when people have windows and don't bother painting the inside. The bare metal look is so ugly. Why have a window if you're not gonna make it count? Good call. Looks heavy though. What does that beast weigh in at now? I have one suggestion, but it's only a suggestion if you agree. I'm not a fan of actually seeing the lights so if you're the same way, and want to hide that UV cathode, here's my idea:

Get a .75"x.75" L-shaped beam about 12" long (or however long the cathode is), paint it black just like the inner case, and nest the light inside/on it. It will still light up the tubes above just as well, but you won't see it from the outside as much. Again, it's only a suggestion if the light bothers you.

Other than that, amazing case dude.

Hey, what's your current Speed/vcore of your system? What do you have your memory at?

Sorry I don't have pics up yet of mine. I painted mine black as well but it's more of a satin finish. Still waiting on that camera! I wanna take dark pics and my little PAS camera doesn't work that great in low-lighting. That GeminII is HUGE. Blocks a lot but it looks cool.

Lol, i dont even have it back yet. Your idea about the cathode is a good one, i like that, i think he jus did that to illustrate the uv pipes etc. glad u like it n thnx for ur comments ill update the pics wen i got all my hardware back in is there such a thing as modded pc porn? if not, this is it baby! lol

And even ribbed for her pleasure

was that over the top?

he he, the hole is meshed on the front, and yes the pipes are ribbed?

Indeed

Dude, what's your current speed of your CPU? RAM? FSB? Vcore?

still waiting for it to come back, i should have it tomorrow.

meanwhile my e6600 in an aw9dmax, is cruising at 3.4ghz
ive got the zalman 9500 on it.

vcore is 1.4
temps are great @ idle 29,28 under load they go up to 55ish dependant on ambient. I reckon i could get it up 2 3.6

im hoping for close to ambient temps at idle with the wc set up.

Nice.

Do you remember what you had your Q6600 machine at before you sent it off to become magically delicious?

Not off the top of my head, its a qx6700 btw, so unlocked multi, i think i had it at 320x10=3.2, vcore was quite low around 1.350, temps at the end with the washer mod and shin etsu was high 50s-low 60s under load.
around the 36's idle.

I should get it back today so i will update some pics with all the shiny sparkly things in.

Im hoping to achieve around 3.6 stable with temps lower than my previous depending on ambient of course,
with the wc i expect the biggest difference under load. [heres hoping]

it really is quite a transformation, a bit like turning hilary clinton into carmen electra under the surgeons knife. hehe

Oh, right. QX6700. Sorry 'bout that.

Can't wait to see the rig (with your own pics) and hear what temps you get from it. Plus it's pretty sweet when you have a sleek lookin' case that you made your own and nobody else has.

Good luck on the 3.6!

i should have ate some brain food before i read this...
