Need overclocking help for my Q6600 G0 & Asus P5K-E.


Recommended Posts

It's unstable even at these settings. I get blue screens in Windows Vista Ultimate x86. Bios screenshots to follow.

Please suggest what I could try. Full system specs in sig.

Try the cpu voltage at 1.30 with everything else at auto, leave the ram as it is for now that should be fine, see where you get with that.

EDIT: set your ram to 1T for now, you can sort that out later once you get to a happy overclock with your cpu.

Thanks for the suggestion. I wasn't confident enough to set the CPU voltage higher than what I had it at originally.

This is my current O/C now. Anything higher gets a blue screen.

Schweet, your already doing better than me, my B3 refuses to run higher than 2.8Ghz, i think it's my board though, I have to use the older P28 bios as all newer ones have issues with Raid cards :(

I'm thinking of dumping the board soon though and get an X38 one, I only had this for SLI which I can't see myself using now and to be honest it's been more trouble than it's worth, this is my second one, the first I had to rma.

You should get a bit more from upping the cpu voltage a bit more, 1.35 shouldn't be a problem, see what you can get with 1.3 if that makes you happier, on my board aswell I have to up the FSB voltage, I have it at 1.4

If it makes you feel any better this is my limit :(

Not to make this sound even more painful for you but I was able to reach 3.01GHz (333x9) effortlessly, with your help of course

Are you going to upgrade your board?

Also, do you think I could improve my RAM timings? What should I set them to?

Well, the spec for your RAM is 800Mhz 4-3-3-15 at 2.2v, you should manage 2.3v for a bit more, I doubt if will be able to run it at 1T at those timings, just give it a go, see how you get on.

Yeah I'll get a new board, i'm just waiting to see what the nforce 700 series has to offer but i'll probably end up getting an Intel based board, i don't think you can beat them.

Go for an ASUS

I was able to hit 4-3-3-15 for my RAM with a new Vista score of 5.8

Thanks for all the help have a good night

Sure, it's ObjectDock

You have an setup really close to mine :D ;)

Hanif, are you running any stable tests? Also are you running Stock Cooling?

Stock cooling, yes. As for stable testing, I have ran 3DMark and had it running already for a number of days w/o any issues.

Hanif,

I know this is off-topic but what is that ObjectDock skin? That (glass) cube looks awesome. Thanks. :D

From my experience, Vista does not seem to want to overclock that high. I didn't mess with it a whole lot, though.

I'm using Vista x86 and I've overclocked my chip from 2.66GHz to 3.6GHz ;)

Hanif - i saw in your last screenshot that your RAM is at 2T now. I was going to suggest you change that to 2T w/ the higher overclock. also, what's your voltage set at in the bios now at 3GHz? cpu-z is only showing 1.3v in that screenshot. You could easily set it to 1.4v in the bios and still be ok. keep in mind that youre using stock cooling. youre reaching your limits w/ that cooling.

also, you board should have a bios setting called "voltage dampering" or something to that effect. I have mine turned on. it helps to minimize vdroop under load, thus increasing stability.

Hi, I'm new to all this OCing - coming from Mac.

I have a P5K-E WiFi A/P - with Q600 core2 quad and 4gb of Team Xtream.

No mater what ratio I input into CPU ratio - it always defaults to X6 - when I look at it in CPUID

I see Core Speed is always changing - sometimes up to 3006.0MHz - but the multiplier is still x6

the Dram is 5 5 5 15 2T ratio 1:1

just wondering what I'm doing wrong.

Sorry - no screen grabs as I'm using a Mac keyboard and can't work out how to remap keys

Go in the BIOS and look under the Advanced>CPU Configuration, Disable C1E, also Disable SpeedStep if it's listed. Then you can set your CPU Ratio.

Thanks crash - running @ 3.02GHz

The multiplier stays at 9 - but the freq still fluctuates a few points only

I disabled C1E - but couldn't find an entry for Speedstep

Wondering if that's what ASUS calls N.O.S - ( non-delay overclocking system) ?

OX86 loves the new tweaks too :)

There was a SpeedStep option in the older BIOS, but seems to have disappeared in the newer ones. Mine fluctuates by a couple of MHz too, so I wouldn't be too concerned about it. ;)

Can I ask what dock that is you're using?

vista doesnt have anything with oc

board , ram , cpu , psu , voltage are ...

Zen Browser prioritizes user control over the browsing experience, offering a minimal yet powerful alternative to traditional web browsers while keeping your online activity private. Zen Browser’s DRM limitation Zen Browser currently lacks support for DRM-protected content, meaning streaming services like Netflix and HBO Max are inaccessible. This is due to the absence of a Widevine license, which requires significant costs and is financially unfeasible for the developer. Additionally, applying for this license would require Zen to be part of a larger company, similar to Mozilla or Brave. Therefore, DRM-protected media won't be supported in Zen Browser for the foreseeable future.

Automatic Updates: Keeps the browser updated with security patches. Zen Mods: Customizable themes and layouts. Workspaces: Organize tabs into different workspaces.

    • I am currently using a 4tb stick in combination with a 4tb 9100 Pro. It's only been six months since I bought them but the 990 has already dropped 1% health. Fingers crossed it doesn't go any lower.
    • But it opens the floodgates to anyone who gets a refund instead of a replacement (since refund will buy you a 1/3rd of the capacity it did years ago)
    • He has planned to file a lawsuit in small claims court so it'll only be a $1000 lesson assuming he wins. That's likely a fraction of what Samsung spends on toilet paper on a daily basis.
    • Windows Server gets DNS over HTTPS (DoH) support by Usama Jawad For the past few months, Microsoft has been previewing DNS over HTTPS (DoH) for Windows DNS Server, touting it as a foundational upgrade for zero-trust enterprise networks. It essentially introduces encrypted, authenticated DNS for the networks rather than transmitting DNS traffic in clear. Now, the company has introduced the general availability (GA) of this feature. The GA of DoH encourages organizations to deploy the solution in production environments without implementing a new client-to-resolver architecture. DoH helps improve the overall security of the network and reduces the risk of spoofing due to its zero-trust design. This is a significant change because pretty much every interaction with the network requires interfacing with DNS. DoH offers several advantages over standard DNS traffic, such as encryption using HTTPS, preventing unauthorized inspection, man-in-the-middle attacks, and traffic analysis. Since it leverages TLS certificates so that clients can verify the identity of the DNS server, it prevents spoofing through this authentication mechanism. Additionally, it's built on the DoH standard defined by the Internet Engineering Task Force (IETF), which means that it should work with modern RFC 8484-compliant clients. Finally, it integrates into the existing network architecture seamlessly and can even run in parallel with standard DNS, so that customers can migrate to the new technology at their own pace. Microsoft says that in the past few months of preview, DoH has become more stable, and customers can confidently deploy it in production environments with proper guidance. Microsoft has emphasized that migrating to DoH is necessary for organizations that are moving toward zero-trust DNS solutions. Windows clients already support DoH, but the latest availability on Windows Server provides encrypted DNS to all endpoints. The company has also mentioned that "while this release focuses on encrypting client-to-resolver communication, support for encrypted communication between Windows DNS Server and upstream DNS resolvers is planned for a future update." You can follow Microsoft's guidance to deploy DoH here, but keep in mind that you need a Windows Server 2025 installation with the latest Patch Tuesday updates installed.
