I don't know how to overclock my system should i overclock it from bios or use some software? Do i need CPU custom cooler for my system if yes what should i buy i want it to be cost effective?
I am overclocking my system because my CPU is bottlenecking my graphic card. I don't want to go very high on overclocking i only want to use gtx on it full potential. Oct 13, 4, 0 23, For 3GHZ you should be fine with the stock cooler any higher then that you will need to get an after market cooler.
Since you are only looking at a mhz jump all you have to do is up the FSB from to and also make sure your RAM is running at a ratio otherwise you will overclock the RAM too and that could cause instabilities. You may have to bump the Vcore a tad but it should not be an issue at all if you go up a notch. Just make sure always keep an eye on temps if it starts getting over 60 then you should look into a bigger heat-sink. I can't stress this enough that overclocking software is just not a good way to overclock.
If you make a mistake in the bios you will simply get no post or blue screen while loading if that happens simply reset bios and start over again. When you mess up in the software based way you have a greater chance of corruption of system files and lost data. So use the bios only. Thanks for your reply. Well i don't know how to overclock from bios?? Can u plzz guide me a bit??? What is the best software to keep eye on temperature? Given the above, I probably don't need to touch the CPU Vcore something that I probably am not able to do anyway, as described.
After reading through the topic you linked me, I'm not really sure if you are suggesting me to push the OC operation even more, or if you simply suggest me to run more tests, this time with Orthos? Sorry about asking for confirmation, but after spending over two weeks reading, looking for clues, re-reading, posting for help around many forums and such, I'm starting to be more and more confused about the whole thing I was pointing out the design Deepcool choose for the heatsinks base large aluminum gaps between the heatpipes or dried out thermal compound could be influencing your core temperatures.
I wouldn't bother replacing the heatsink beats the stock Intel cooler on an older build if you plan on replacing with a new system build. Example: Coolermaster Hyper Plus smaller aluminum gaps between the heatpipes Have you tried switching from auto core offset, and etc.
With the core offset on Auto I'm guessing the motherboard is likely changing increasing the voltage fed to CPU as you increase the clock speed from 2. Would help to find out high you can set the clock speed at the default core voltage before instability starts.
The posts by Mattb2e are the ones you should have a look at in response to the original poster rappling. Yestrerday I was not even allowed to post links I had already stumbled on rappling's topic I guess the idea might be right: leaving the vcore offset to "AUTO" is probably raising the vcore up to the highest values, when under stress.
As of now, in any case, I had already put it to manual and selected the lowest possible offset 0. Shall I test it again, this time with IBT? System booted correctly, so I guess that's ok Anything else you'd recommend on the matter, before I go on? Edit: I took IBT for 15 cycles, standard mode. I'm trying to post a screenshot, so you can see the results. Also since the VRM phases on the motherboard don't have a heatsink your not going to want push the CPU overclock up to high.
You could try pointing an extra case fan at the VRM section on the board to remove some of the heat in that area. I would try to get your Q up to 3. In your overclock. DPete27 Grand Gerbil Poohbah. Have you read this to find voltage amd test limits? Please post cpuz screenshot of main, memory and spd tabs please PM me, I can help! Is my ram that bad,and is that my limiting factor?
What you should notice from that screenshot is your memory is overclocked. This may be you limiting factor. My suggestion is to add a bit of voltage to the ram.
Add8ng Vtt voltage should help as well. Do one thing at a time. Ok,i increased the DRAM voltage to 1. Thank you for your fast response, i will keep you in touch and i want to ask a few questions: for how long do you think i should run prime 95? Should i be worried about ram overheating? And do you think i will be able to hit 4Ghz. Also i have 2xmm and 1xmm fans to keep everything cool.
I didn't think somebody will reply that fast,since core 2 quad is old tech. I just made my registration here today and i am already in love with this forum. Generally, we advise running Prime95 for at least two hours to confirm stability. You will see a temp spike at about 20 minutes and then again at about one hour so watch temps. Not sure what the TJMax is for that generation of Intel's but maybe 95c would be a good ballpark figure.
Yeah, when you overclock withe th FSB like you are doing the memory frequency rises along with it. The two are tied together. What is your memory divider set to now? Often, the memory divider has to be changed to compensate for this. He's got a Q, that's what he's working with. OP I'm sure there's plenty of guides too. I'm not sure what constitutes a good guide in your opinion so it makes it hard to post anything that you're not going to just dismiss.
A lot of people ran various flavors of core 2 quads back then, I ran a Q for years myself, and there seemed to be plenty of information about OCing that.
I don't think the Q is the one model without any decent information available. Nor do I think that it's so unique that a guide for one of the half dozen incrementally different models wouldn't work just as well. Thank you all for help, guess I will look up guide for some other quad core similar processor and try to mimic it. This pc was made out of 2 old pc's both from my friend everything but gpu, I put that gpu in because I dont have any other pc to put it in, this is not my main pc its just my side b11ch so I dont plan on upgrading it or anything, I will just try to OC that Q and max it out until it dies, than just take out gpu and wont even be sad if anything happens to that pc since it is not my daily driver or anything.
Also I would still like to ask what is FSB:DRAM, now in cpu z it shows that is is and I see a lot of people say it should be either or so I want to know if anyone knows what and how should I do anything with that???
