The QX6800 is a total ass to OC due to it's huge heat output at stock, unless your on a serious watercooling solution or cascade you won't get much above 3Ghz imo.

But looking at the way you have been doing lately, you may proove me wrong.

No, I don't doubt your 9700 will cool that die at stock speeds.

It's you running at stock speeds I find amusing.

I'm waiting for the 1333/45 thingies myself..

hi i can't go through the bios and note down all the settings and whether they are off or on or otherwise.
Robilar posted the settings you need to use at the start of the guide.
Anything after that is just little tweaks i have tried myself.

The thing is, as amazing as it is, it doesnt tell me what numbers to enter in, which may seem easy to someone who has already done it, but not so easy for a noob.

I find it shocking that all you have learnt from this thread and you seem to be unwilling to help out others who were once in your situation.

All i am asking for is the numbers, i.e. FSB, Voltages, Ram timings etc and anything else not specified in robilar's guide my system is identical to your so to help me all you have to do is tell me the numbers you are using. Which would take you approximatley 1 minute to do.

Otherwise could someone else with a similar system to mine help out please?

Thanks

Personally I don't think it's a good idea to mess around with overclock settings unless you know and understand what those numbers mean. If it's just the overclock you need/want without the effort required then may I suggest a pre-built system from company X? That way you get exacty what you want without any effort whatsoever.

lol noooo never a pre built! that is what this site is for is learning!


the problem is that you can't just copy someone elses settings in the bios and have it work. it is different for almost everyone, so you have to try yourself to find out. first of all go into the hardware monitor and then voltage monitor and find out what your voltages are at now, then you up the FSB by a small increment (4 or 8 because every four QDR FSB Mhz = 1 Regular FSB Mhz thus the Quad data rate) and when you have trouble going any higher you start to raise those voltages till you can get it stable.

i think everyone here at one point was a noob at overclocking, and i know i can crack it but i would just like some guidance, of course i could learn everything from scratch which would take a lot of time, but why not just find someone with the exact same system as me (there seems to be a few) and ask for the settings which have been tried and tested.
