Unless he shoots off multi-hour runs of encoding I doubt he'd really notice a difference anyway. I do a lot of 3d work and the only time I see a "real" benefit from my oc is when compiling displacement/normal maps from sculpt meshes &/or running final renderings.

As far as the time spent physically sitting here actually doing stuff you'd be hard pressed to notice any difference. Memory's really more important that most anything else when doing that kind of work.

4.0ghz 1.56v

mch core 1.34
ich core 1.3v

still no go, am i missing something?

ICH IO is south bridge -don't mess with that setting or anything ICH,stock is good

V -Core 1.5x-- if you really need that much
Cpu Term 1.34
MCH Core 1.30/1.32

edit: maybe you are trying too big of a jump at one time. After I reach a certain point ,I have to build 100Mhz at a time and get stable there. Then you can change one setting at a time and go another 100---much easier ,takes longer tho.

Have you played with the cpu/mch ref values? (forgive me if I missed it from an earlier post). Are you getting freezes/bsods or just prime errors?

richardbb85 · 07-15-09

sorry, just went out for a jog

no i haven't touch the ref values, what i should do with it?

as soon as i start the test = bsod

Going by most settings I've seen you should probably start bumping them upward. Mine typically work best a 0.83cpu/0.8mch. But the optimum value will vary at different clock speeds/voltages......as well from one board/cpu to another.

It's kind of one those trial error things that there's not really a 'right' number for, you just gotta mess around w/ it and see what does/doesn't work.

Also note, that when I say 0.83, that's the value the bios shows with the vtt set to 1.2v. The ref values scale automatically with the vtt voltage, so most people will quote the ref value as it is at 1.2vtt (as this is the value that matches what is displayed in et6....to help avoid confusion). So generally, when you're tweaking it's easier to keep track of what you're doing if you set your vtt to 1.2->change ref values->change your vtt back to what you want.

i upped some setting, and it didn't even get into windows.

am i at a point where i can't OC any further?

at least i am stable at 3.8ghz with 1.518v

hahah

Yeah, if the results start looking worse, then you'd try adjusting them in the opposite direction. If you still don't get any better results then it's probably best where it's already at. It can be a real p.i.t.a. process though. On my 780i board it took me several weeks (not constant of course) of messing around to find the best values.

That's totally possible. 3.8 is a damn nice oc for a 6600. Mine did great at 3.55ghz, but from that point up the voltage increases it wanted were huge for only a tiny gain in clocks. I wouldn't be surprised at all if this were the case.

richardbb85 · 07-16-09

just trying to get the most out of this chip

CPU-Z show 1.376 on full load, crazy vdrop

richardbb85 · 07-16-09

should I try bumping the V to 1.65 in bios? That would be abut 1.5 on load
