Extending a C2D E6750's Life: Feeback on First OverClock

[dantesinferno]

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.

Looks good to me, now go do some IntelBurn Tests.

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)

[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.
