Hi everybody!
First time over clocking the third system I have built. I am up to 2.91GHz which is more than 1GHz over stock, but I have hit a wall and the system won't boot up with any higher CPU Host Frequency than 416 using any system memory multiplier that fits. Suggestions appreciated. Specs are as follows:
GB-EP43T UD3L
4GB G.Skill-NT DDR3-1333 RAM (only 2GB installed for OC'ing)
Intel C2D E6300 1.86Ghz (yes the C2D NOT the PDC)
ThermalTake Blue Orb II CPU cooler.
MSI 7600GT
Antec Two Hundred
Vantec Ion2 520W
Western Digital 160GB HDD
Seagate 500GB HDD
BIOS SETTINGS
Robust Graphics Booster = Auto
CPU clock ratio = 7x
CPU Frequency = 2.91 GHz
CPU Host Clock control = Enabled
CPU host freq = 416
PCI Express Freq = Auto
C.I.A.2 = Disabled
DRAM performance enhance = Standard
(g)MCH frequency latch = Auto
System Memory Multiplier = 3.20B
Memory Frequency = 1331
DRAM Timing Selectable = Auto
STC
CAS = 9
tRCD = 9
tRP = 9
tRAS = 24
Voltages
CPU Vcore = 1.24375
CPU Termination = Auto
CPU PLL = Auto
CPU Reference = Auto
ICH I/O = Auto
ICH Core = Auto
DRAM voltage = Auto 1.500v
DRAM Termination = Auto
Let me know any settings that might be tweaked for a further overclock or better performance. As stated I seem to have hit a wall at 2.91 GHz. My temps 36-39 degrees on full load using speed fan. Everest seems to record a few degrees lower. I'm using prime for testing and only have 1x2GB stick of RAM in play at the moment and am aware that I may need higher NB voltages for this. All in all its not a bad first time OC, but I crave to break 3.0 and perhaps even 3.5 at these temps. Teach me! =)
Thanks.
EDIT: using BIOS version F1, Processor stepping = B2 (6) any other information needed please let me know.
