e6600 / p5n-e OC Question

[tnu5]

Hi folks, my 1st post here.

I was goofing off with this new machine and I was messing w/ the "AI Overclocking", at 15%, 2.75ghz the cpu ran at 38c, a great temp.

But if I put it to the 20% level the mobo would just lock up.

Do you know why that would be? It had PLENTY of temp room....

Thanks!

Dont use Ai overclocking , coz max will be a 20% increase, do it manually set volts your self(just don't go too high)

Any guides for this cpu? I would enjoy playing a bit w/ the stock fan but I don't want to fry it.

Thanks.

Stock fans are ok for ocin, just watch your temps

Heres a guide for C2Ds: http://hardforum.com/showthread.php?t=1138241

Nice system, thanks!

Hey do you know of any games that can put this new rig to task, I tried oblivion at max but it runs like liquid.

Gothic 3, Carbon, Supreme Commander, BF2142 may be(but i recon it wont give you any trouble ). it also depends on what resolution your playing.

er I didn't know Gothic 3 was released yet?

Well... vista CLAIMS this monitor can only do 1024x768, which is bs, I've had it at 1600x1200 just fine.

But I can, in no way at all, under any program under vista, run beyond 1024x768.

It's disgusting and vista is slightly disgusting.

I agree about vista(in terms of gaming) but its definately good for work.
Gothic III was released ages ago, now im bored with it, havent tried it on C2D but with previos setup it lokked demanding.
