I am at my friends house doing some overclocking. Having some troubles. The memory is Corsair 2x2GB TWIN2X2048-6400...

This thing rarely POSTs. I can only get it to post at these settings, and when I do I get conflicting results in CPUZ....


BIOS shows:
CPU Freq: 333mhz​

DRAM Freq: DDR2-833Mhz​

VCore: 1.375V​

FSB Termination V: 1.2v​

NB VCore: 1.300v​

Memory Voltage: 2.000v (corsair tested at 5-5-5-15 2T at DDR2-800)​

ALL 3 REF Voltages: -30mv​

SB Vcore: 1.50v​

SB Chip Voltage: 1.050v​


Memory​

5-5-5-15​

write Recovery: 4 clocks​

TRFC: 30 clocks​

TRRD: 10​

Rank Write to read delay: 10​

Read to precharge delay: 10​

Write to precharge delay: 11​



CPU-Z shows
E6600 Voltage: 1.072v​


Core Speed: 2000mhz​

Multiplier: x6​

Bus Speed: 333mhz​

Rated FSB: 1334mhz​


Memory Freq: 417.1mhz​

FSB DRAM: 4:5​

5-5-5-15 2T​
But programs like 3D06 shows the CPU at 3Ghz ..not 2.0Ghz. Its the multiplier, either 6 or 9. So why does it sometimes show this? First timer with a C2D or Intel for that matter. Is it like SpeedStep where it varies the multiplier based on demand?

BTW, tons of BSODs during load.....
 
Update. Was noticing that there must be some Vdroop, it was reading much lower than 1.375 so I upped it to 1.5v Vcore.

In CPU-z it shows 3Ghz.

Note: Using Zalman 9700LED so no flames about stock cooling.
 
I don't know, but cpu-z on my commando shows 1.072V as well. Kinda annoying, i used PCprobe the find voltages. Does the mobo give more than you set it to as well? In my BIOS i put 2.2V more my RAM and pcprobe/bios detect 2.25 :(
 
Do you have the C1 advanced halt state (or EIST whatever it's called) enabled in the bios?


It's intel's "Cool 'n Quiet" thing.
 
Yes in CPU config I disabled everything BUT SpeedStep. INcluding Vanderpool (he wont be doing any VT oriented stuff)

It just brought up 3.6Ghz at 400x9, memory at DDR2-800, 5-5-5-15 2T.

Voltage was 1.5 and it BSOD'd on WinSAT so I upped it to 1.575v.. will run again. WHy is the voltage so high?

I need some software to monitor voltage ..suggestions?
 
Ya, my E6600 is crazy too. Need to bump up the voltage to get at 3.4.. So i decided to keep at 3.2 with 1.375.
