EVGA 750i FTW Overclock Thread

[Cookie]

I have a 750i FTW and an e8400 on the way , can you recommend a good cooler that will allow me to go 4.0 ghz and still allow room for the nb fan

also i am going to switch to a 4gb (2x2) memory soon , any recommendations such as brand and 800 or 1066? thanks for the help

i replaced it with a delta 6000rpm fan, at 3800 rpm the nb is around 37-38 c, while i hear nothing from it.

At 4500-6000 rpm.. the nb goes to around 30- 27c

its connectd to my kaze fan controller.

Hmm, 6000rpms youch! Was the 2nd one a 60mm also? As for NB temps, how did you monitor them?

Xigmatek Rifle, Tuniq Tower 120 or TRUE120 are, IMO, top 3 coolers right now. TRUE120 (ThermalRight Ultra Extreme) being the king.

Hi guys, I just can't seem to make my computer stable. I have tested my RAM for at least 7 hours, and there were no errors so the RAM is perfect. i am trying to overclock my E8400.

These are my settings:

CPU Fast Read - Disabled
CPU Clock ratio unlock - Enabled ( x9 )
CPU N/2 Ratio - Enabled
LDT Frequency - 5x

CPU core - 1.38v
CPU Fsb - 1.40v
Memory - 2.1v
nForce SPP - 1.50v
NF200 voltage level - 1.25v

FSB memory clock mode - Linked
FSB memory ratio - Sync Mode
FSB (mhz) - 1780

My memory is 5-5-5-15-2T.

Please help me fix my settings if they seem a little wrong.

Thank you.

If your on DDR2 800 ram unlink and set it to 800 then try again... If its 1066 then you will need to try lowering your FSB QDR til it becomes stable.. try 1750....
