Ha maybe I was being paranoid then. Thanks a lot.

HI, i am completely new to these forums but I have a quick question.

I started to overclock gradually. I have an E4400 Conroe @ 2.0 GHz Stock
I *overclocked* it to 2.2 Ghz ( 220 x 10 rated FSB 880) with 1.392 vcore from what cpuz
tells me.

If i go to 222 it works fine but as soon as i step it up to 223 x 10 it fails on me, the comp
just boots a few times and fails and reverts back to the stock settings. I tried to change
the vcore one at a time but no matter how high the vcore, i cant set it above 222 x 10, i tried 230 x 9, but that didnt work either even though the result is much lower.

i am on the stock heat sink that came with the e4400 conroe

thank you for any help

Hey man,

Can you give more specifics about your OC? What voltages are you using? What kind of RAM do you have, and what speed is it running at? My guess is that your RAM speeds are set incorrectly, and that's what's limiting your OC.

[Hephaestus]

Those are my current ram settings.

I havent changed the voltage settings, I have recently reformatted. About
a week ago.

my Cpuz validation page, if that helps

[SgtSpike]

It looks like your memory is running twice as fast as you'd like it for OCing... You want your FSBRAM Ratio to be 1:1, not 1:2. In your BIOS, change the memory multiplier to 2.00. Right now, it's likely at 4.00. Let me know the results after that, and if you're able to OC farther.

[Hephaestus]

Wow I would have never thought of that ! thanks, oc'd to 2.6 now, will slowly
increase later, thanks again, big help

[SgtSpike]

Congrats! Let us know how far you get, and of course watch your temperatures with speedfan or coretemp or intel's thermal analysis tool... Are you running on the stock heatsink or do you have aftermarket cooling?

[kdbolt70]

wow, how did I miss this thread!? I'm running my Q6600 at 3.3 currently, 1.38Vcore (set to 1.425 in bios... damn Vdroop). 9x multi.

Thanks Sgt!!

< "I believe this was my stepping in FSB:
266>300>320>330>340>350>360>380>400>410>420>430>44 0>450>460>470>480>470>475>470

So yeah, small steps. It's too hard to tell what needs more voltage if you take big jumps." >

That's what I figured as well... Good info and Thanks again for the thread!

Take care, :-)

My fan delays too about 5 seconds or so before coming on, but I think it should still work on the cpu fan header on the mobo instead of the other mobo fan header locations.
