my cpu is a C2D E6600 and im running at 3.4ghz. However 3d mark 05 fails everytime and the system dies, but strangely 3d mark 05 is fine???
any ideas.
is it my over clock? because its stable after hours of gaming but prime95 doesnt like it but that didnt change with increased volts? TAT also doesnt run.
Thanks in advanced.
 
try using orthos instead of prime95 and see if it's stable using that. you probably just need to play around with your overclock, voltage, mem settings, etc.
 
ok. my mem seems fine though (sailed through memtest for an hr) ill try orthos give that a try. any clues with 3d mark 05?
 
What's the batch and revision of your E6600? As I see in your sig you are using 1.375V for 3,4Ghz if its one of A revisions it may bee too short! And btw have you measured voltage with multimeter or you just set it in bios and thats all?
 
ive no idea on batch etc? whats a safe volt to go to. it crashed in orthos as well. its goin at 48 degrees water cooled @ 3.4ghz which seems a bit much. id like to get my fsb to 400mhz for mem @ 1:1 do you reckon i can make it?
 
what are your w/c rig your temps looks more than high for w/c or you have set it to 1.9V :D? I have tried 1.7V- bios, 1.66V- measured on my xeon with w/c! I believe it safe to keep 1.55V- measured daily using w/c! ;)
 
ok. its only a Tt wc system. getting a new £200 sys soon :)
omg. orthos is halting after 14 secs. its defo getting worse with volt raises. :(
 
2gb Corsair ram @ 850mhz 4-4-4-12 stock volts

that only tells me what you have it set at, not what ram you have. you need to let everyone know all your voltages also. it shouldnt be a RAM problem, it sounds like voltage, but which one we have no idea.
 
corsair xms2pc6400C4 @ 2.1v 4-4-4-12 @ 840mhz.. memtest been going for a while now, it seems fine. how would ram effect orthos?
 
orthos blend stresses cpu and ram, i forget if its small stresses cpu and large stresses ram or the other way around, it tells you in the program. at any rate, you still need to post the rest of your voltage settings, CPU, fsb, northbridge, anything.
 
Download this http://www.ocbase.com/perestroika_en/index.php

and run it, within 30 mins it will tell you if your system is stable or not. if not, try to raise your vCore and Vdim a little by little. By the way, Please post your other bios setting because it does affect your OCing stabilities.
 
il make myself more clear, you need to give exact numbers of what you set your voltages to. "i raised them" doesnt help any more then saying "i have a computer", we know this.
 
oh right. well they are 1.375 at the moment, this is stable in game but dies when running prime95 for more than 30 seconds or so.
i raised them to 1.4 and orthos/prime95 failed even faster but the system didnt die.
thanks
 
ok. ill print that out and take a read later. could it be fsb and NB causing the problem? will it shorten the life of my mobo?
 
it could be, weather or not it will shorten the life is a moot point. it probably will shorten the life, by how much? who knows. your numbers arent near any danger points so the effects should be minimal.

ok thanks. that OC guide link isnt working??

I just checked it and it worked for me /shrug its like a 70page PDF so you probally just want to save a copy to the desktop, kill your ink if you printed it, lots of screen shots.

Oh and there is a place in it, where it shows setting the PCI-e buss for the video card to 125MHz , damn, someone here caught that but I cant remember who to credit atm, anyway thats way high, leave it at 100 till you get CPU overclocking fixed up.
 
ok, i downloaded, printed and read the whole nvidia guide. it gives safe voltages and stuff but doesnt say when to raise them and what they do. so what would raising the fsb and NB volts do? could this be my problem?
 
holy quadruple post batman.

perhapse no one is replying because you are the only one who can answer the rest of your questions. you got to actualy try this stuff for yourself and see what works and what doesnt.

so what would raising the fsb and NB volts do

perhapse it will make the fsb and nb more stable when you raise the speed respectively.
thats what increasing power usualy does anyway.
