Hey SLACR, GO! (Q6600 G0 thread)

[afzsom]

You getting enough voltage to your ram modules? (Sorry if you already answered this, I haven't kept up in a while)

[battlenut]

at stock settings on cpu I have no problem. will it be a problem if i overclock the cpu and ram voltages are not right. ( not trying to be stupi I honestly don't know)

[afzsom]

Because you're probably still running your ram in linked mode (synch'd mode), when you increase your FSB, your RAM will overclock as well. Increasing the voltage to your critical components decreases the chances of crashing. You'll need to maintain voltages for your CPU, RAM, Northbridge, and possibly Southbridge. Keeping these off of Auto setting, and manually setting them gives you a better idea of how much voltages you need and actually require.

[battlenut]

alright I will manually set everything then try again I guess. thanks. If it doesn't work i'll be back.

[battlenut]

after setting everything manually now I cant get past 1200 fsb with 1.45 vcore how high can I take the vcore? right now core temp says temps are around 43 celsius. what else can I do to get higher? I see people with like 3.0 on this processor and some are at 3.6 I don't want that high, I just want 2.99.

Time to go for 3.6GHz+!!

more than 3.6 is a *****, ive gone all the way up to 1.5 volts and it still gives me trouble (i was shooting for 4 ghz) i couldnt even get into windows, but i refuse to go past 1.5 volts

Dude... are you sure it isn't your RAM or NB voltage? what are all of your settings? post 'em up

[battlenut]

FSB memory clock mode unlinked
FSB cpu 1066
Memory 1200 5-5-5-15 2.4 volts manufacturer specs
CPU V core 1.2 ran all the way to 1.5 volts
CPU Thermal control disabled
C1E Disabled
Execute disable bit disabled
CPU vitual tech disabled
PCI E 100
Nforce SPP 1.5 v
Nforce mcp 1.55 v
HT Nforce SPP 1.3 v

all specs as of now and last night except cpu of course.

You are hitting a FSB hole, try 1600FSB and 8x multi and it will probably boot.

Do you have the A1 revision of the 680is? If you don't you might want to RMA it and request for a A1. The quads will not overclock well on a AR.

You should be happy with a 1.2GHz overclock. My highest is 3.25Ghz. 3.6 at 1.5v isnt stable and is way to hot for me.
