I recently installed the subject board and then realized my limited knowledge to oc was not going to be of benefit to properly get the full potentuial of this board. I have set my bios (F5) to the below settings but am still thinking I can get a lot more out of my cpu with this board. However, before I just dive in and start changing settings without really understanding, I was wanting some of you veterans to look over my settings and perhaps point me in the right direction.
Specifically I am confused about the ram settings, primarily the Advanced options. I think based on the below settings I am not running the ram at it's rated speed of 1066 despite manually setting the timings and voltage. Is that how the oc process is supposed to work?
Is it better to have a lower multiplier for the cpu and a higher fsb when oc'ing, or the opposite? What is the optimum speed for my 6600 that would be south of it's max without having to worry about stability and damaging the cpu or the board?
At the below settings I was of the assumption that I had oc'd the cpu from it's native 2.4 ghz to 3.0 ghz. But, and I expect some giggles on this but be gentle, this is all new to me, CPU-Z shows a setting at 3.0 mhz, 3D'06 shows the internal clock at 3.0 but then also says I am running at 3.86 mhz. I'm not sure what all that means or why the seemingly different readings.
The below settings successfully ran 5 passes with IntelBurnTest, at 100% load, the cpu temps were 60-65C. I'm thinking that is about as hot as I ever want the cpu to get under load, yes? My 3D'06 score is only 12,439. I'm not looking to necessarily be in the 20K+ club and realize my single 9800 GTX+ gpu is a factor as well, just throwing the score out there for comment. Thanks much in advance for any assistance and suggestions to tweak out some more performance.
Hmmm, first time newbie poster has encountered a problem. I had copy/pasted the template Lsdmeasap has set up but even if I try to post the template by it's self with no other text, it says I am over the 10k character limit. I expect there must be an easy way around this since others are using the template. Can somebody please advise so I can get the settings included with my post? Thanks.
