Here i go again..
So after 4 days testing, i realised that my E2180 will top out somewhere between 3.15 and 3.25GHz at 1,5V.
On 3.3, Prime did an error in about 3 minutes.
Changed down to 3.25, prime did an error after 9 hours.
Now i'm testing at 3.2.. I think it'll be finally OK.
Is there any chance to get higher if i change the stock Intel cooler, or would there be only a lower cpu temperature under stress?
I ordered a Thermalright SI-128, and will put a nice powerful 120mm fan on the top of it.

You should be able to go higher with a new cooler.

Thx!
When i done some testing with the new one, i'll post the result..

Was wondering if I could get some opinions on how much I could get away with without messing with the voltage?

PizzaMan

Around 3.0Ghz.

As i know My Specs are these
2GB DDR2 Kingston 1GB on each slot
its an HP computer
Intel Core 2 Duo E4500 @2.2Ghz
Mobo Foxconn N15235
and about font i dont know where i see =( its plugged directly on the power outlet if i could get at least 3.0Ghz it was a miracle because when i buy my PC i didn't know how i get the best,for less, and i bought a expensive PC but the mobo didn't have PCI-E x16 =( i have to buy another Mobo...please tell me de cheapest and good mobo for Overclocking with these specs and later i will buy or a 9600GT or 9800Gtx+ if i Can Overclock with this Specs that i've got now help mee!

sorry for the bad english..i'm brazilian =)

here's the print for some usable info

hello guys im new to the website i have a pretty simple question ive been reading most the guides still have some confusion currently at work k here they are

1. i have a Q6700 ive seen most can get it from the 2.6ghz it comes to max of 4ghz avg 3.5ghz im currently at 3.0ghz on everything on auto ive seen my volts go to 1.6 at times though should i take certain things off auto?

2. i have 6 gigs of ram i took out of my hp its 2 sticks of 2gigs and 2 of 1gig tottal of 6gig all at 800mhz what should my multiplier be at for a 3.5ghz or 3.6ghz am i correct to think if i put it on a x9 x400mhz = 3.6ghz would it be 1:1 for my memmory to run at 800mhz?

3. i have a pretty huge cpu fan my case is always at around 29C card is always 28c MAX 23c idle is that enough cooling i have about 4 120mm fans and 1 huge cpu cooler

4. im really confused on my volts for my cpu some guides say to put on 1.5 some say they get Q6700 to 3.6ghz at 1.3v whats youre experience

ok thanks for youre tips there very much appreciated any guides you know that might clear it up would be awesome hope to read from you all soon thanks

How's everyone doing. I'm new here and I was referred here by some guys on another forum that I'm frequent at. I'll say, you guys have a good forum with lots of good information .

But all that aside (I'll save you the introduction you guys are used to hearing from new members) I recently built a machine based around a Q6600. Well, for what it's worth, I actually built it about six months ago, but time is going stupidly fast and it feels like I built it not a month ago.

The motherboard I have is an EVGA 750i SLI FTW board. It's a pretty good board and it's handled my OC's well so far. Back in about September I bumped my FSB up to 333.333*9, achieving 3.0GHz easily. After a few months of that, I ordered 4 more gigs of RAM (DDR2-800) to top me out at 8GBs. Then I went and OC'ed the RAM just a bit (on stock voltage) to 900Mhz.

So, fast forward to today and I'm in the process of getting my timings down. I'm at 5-5-5-16-2T and I might look to step up my speed to 1066MHz with a 2.0V rating.

This brings me back to my CPU. I was thinking of bumping my CPU up to 3.2Ghz (on air cooling, aftermarket cooler with some good Arctic Silver 5). Do you guys think this is a good idea? My PC's killing it on the CPU front and really my only weakness is coming from the GPU side (I never thought I'd have to call a 9800 GTX a weakness).

What voltage would you guys run in a 3.2GHz OC on my 750i board? Right now I believe I'm running the FSB @ 1.3V. Stock, I believe my FSB voltage was 1.2V, so I can't imagine having to bump it up too much just to get to 3.2, considering that I went from 2.4 to 3.0 on only 1V extra.

Just to take a hypothetical walk through this, I'd go into BIOS with my previous settings saved in a profile, then I'd bump the FSB voltage, then set the CPU multiplier to 8x, then set the FSB speed to 400 (400.000*8 = 3200), check my temps, exit BIOS, startup, check stability, etc, etc.

Are there any suggestions you guys have, or anything you guys need to add to this? If there's more information you need I'll gladly post my full specs, but this post is already long enough.
