Currently extending the life of my C2D, as I really don't need to upgrade yet, I decided to OC my E6750.

I'd really like to know from the seasoned OCers here if I did this right.

System Specs:

  • C2D E6750
  • Abit IP 35 PRO
  • G.Skill DDR2 1066 (PC2 8500) (F2-8500CL5) - 8GB

I set my bios as follows:

  • Ext clock: 400mhz
  • Multiplier: 8
  • Dram Speed: 1:1.00 (DDR-800)
  • Core Voltage: 1.35v
  • Ram Voltage: 1.8v

Here is what CPU-Z reports:

Does this seem about right? Despite doing a significant amount of reading, I still get tripped up with my memory settings and making sure I am getting the most out of my RAM.

Any help is greatly appreciated.
 
Thanks, guys!

Just ran an IntelBurnTest. Not knowing any better, I ran the standard test:

----------------------------
IntelBurnTest v2.50
Created by AgentGOD
----------------------------

Processor: Intel(R) Core(TM)2 Duo CPU E6750 @ 2.66GHz
Clock Speed: 3.18 GHz
Active Physical Cores: 2
Total System Memory: 8190 MB

Stress Level: Standard (1024 MB)

Time (s) Speed (GFlops) Result
[23:43:58] 41.884 21.3421 3.628089e-002

Test Result: Success.

Should I run the test a couple more times or should this be sufficient considering this isnt'a very aggressive overclock? According to Abit Uguru, the max temp was 68C degrees.
 
I say it looks good. Personally I'd shoot for 3.5-3.6GHz. Here is a quick search I found on your CPU for settings used to achieve 3.8. Set your memory multiplier and give it a try if you want. I usually run 10-20 passes on high if my temps are good.
