Thanks for getting back to me. I got a score of 11877.

I get 12400 with my old E6400 oced to 3.2Ghz. lol I cant remember if 3dmark uses quads yet though. Might check out vantage pretty soon.

Because the AI OC is a POS. I wouldnt even think about ocing till you get some aftermarket cooling. Do a search on overclocking tutorials on here and do your homework. All this stuff has been covered there and will teach you more than what you need to understand how to overclock.

Could this be a PSU issue or is this "vdroop"? Everything is stable and my temps are fine so if I have to keep it set at 1.3 then I will.

set your volt setting to the +100 setting. I use bios 1201 and that setting and the vdrop isnt apparent at all.

Thanks for being direct. I will order one of the coolers on page 1. I hope I get the easiest to install. I assume just a cpu HS will do the trick.
I have studied overclocking at Toms Hardware Forums. My eyes glaze over after a while. I want to do this though. I understand the FSB is important. Core temp is key. The multipier is also key.
I buy the HS Friday online.

Ok, I really wasn't sure what that setting did. I'll give it a shot, thanks.

OK you definitely need to either reseat the stock cooler or buy a new one. I think you already mentioned you are buying one. I recommend the Xigamatek 120mm.

As for you system crashing, AI oc also oc's the ram, which is likely causing the problem. I have overclocked an e6320 (like yours but more cache and less oc) on this board, and it is really easy to oc it if you do it manually. You will first have to set your vcore manually to the stock voltage CoreTemp shows you, and set the fsb to manual and unlinked. Then you can start edging the fsb up, and if you hit instability you likely need to raise the vcore. If I were you I would start with 1333fsb and go from there (you will skip over the early fsb hole on this board, and 2.33ghz is a good oc to have stable.)

Great info. I will wait till I get the new HS. I need the precise numbers like you are giving.

I'M FREEEEEEEEEEEEEEE!!!!!!!


Upgraded to a P5K-E WIFI P35 motherboard

Still setting Vista up so no overclocking, but NB is much cooler, I have a SB heatsink, MOSFET heatsink, and my HDT-S1283 doesn't even come close to my NB heatsink!


I'm planning to keep my P5N-E SLI for a while though, so I doubt this will be my last post.

Hey, Im free too

I still have the P5N-E Sli tho.. paired with an p4 520 and a 6600GT
