Hi,
i got e6400 with badaxle. after i tried oc to 2.6 ghz the window wont boot up..please help.
this is my first time try to OC. thank you
i got 2gig g.kill
 
Look in your manual and find the section about "clearing bios" and follow the instructions there.
 
You need to make sure your voltages are not under the rated spec. And make sure to keep temps low...
 
please be more specific. i'm newbie for OC.
i put the cpu from 266 to 333mhz. then what else i need.
CPU voltage ?
FSB ? and so on...thank you so much
i just want to go up 2.6ghz, i used stock fan
 
Disable Watchdog, C1E, Speedstep

Enable Power Slope

Set the RAM Speed to 533mhz, Recommended Voltage and timings by G.SKill (2.1V 4-4-4-12, or whatever your box says)

Set the FSB to 333 and try again!

i got it. i'm using CPUZ check it but sometime it's going down to 2.0ghz and come back 2.6ghz.Is It something wrong?
Once agian thank you
 
That happens when C1E or speestep haven't been disabled.

Try disabling those again and / or thermal control

Use CoreTemp or Intel's TAT to monitor temperatures.

Don't exceed 65c during load (Prime 95 or Orthos or even TAT)

Don't exceed 1.5V on the CPU
 
i check the temp by the core temp and it said:
cpu 0: 53c
the tjunction is 85c
is it good?
where is the speedtest and CE1
 
where is the speedstep and CE1


somewhere in the bios settings, i dont have that board and the name may be slightly different on your screen.

The speedstep is probally what is making your speed jump around, its trying to reduce the cpu speed when there is no load on it. Basically for overclocking you want to disable/turn off all the automatic temperature controls and force the fan to run at high speed all the time.
 
i did all but it's not stable. should i buy 120mm fan? or new heatsink not use the stock one?

If your system is not stable, you need to play with your voltages a little

Up the MCH voltage a bit. (Note what the original setting was)

Do the same with the FSB Voltage

Set the CPU Voltage to 1.3V (If it doesn't work, try 1.35 or 1.4V)

Small steps with everything!

can you tell me the temp is 53c on the CPU is OKor not
 
Is that the Idle temperature? (computer not doing anything)

If it is, then that is rather high for stock volts.

85c is the maximum limit. Stay below 65-70c to play it safe.

When trying to overclock a CPU is always best to use a good cooler. The stock cooler can be used as long as the voltage on the CPU isn't changed to 1.4V or above.

In your case, 53c idle is quite high and when putting load on the CPU, well, it will get worse.

If you want to go any higher, get a good cpu cooler.

Zalman 9700 LED
Tuniq Tower 120
Thermalright Ultra 120
Scythe Infinity
 
i checked by the cpuz and i saw the multipier by 6 most of the time not by 8 so that why it's stayable. let my try to change some voltage and let you know. or should change memory from 533hz to 800hz.now is 4 -4-4-12...533
thank you
 
i just bought the zalman 9700led, installed it and the temp go below 30c. That's great.
thank you
i'll try to go to 3.2ghz
 
Awesome results, sounds like you bought a great cooler!

Set the CPU Voltage to 1.4V and up the FSB and MCH Voltage a little as well.

Set the FSB frequency to 350mhz. See how you do!

I helped my brother build a system using an E6400 and DDR2 800mhz and overclocked it to 3.52ghz using 1.42V

Temperatures are 42c idle, 52c under load.

533mhz means that your system will work with a 1:1 ratio.

If you set your FSB to 333, your RAM will be running @ 666mzh

Run Cpu-z and look @ the RAM or Memory TAB.
 
when i go up the cpu voltage to 1.4v. The temp si going up about 43C, so is it still OK
 
i tried go to 3.2ghz, but system wont boot.
did change CPU Voltage 1.4
FSB voltage to 1.35
Mich 1.550
What did i wrong?
 
ram is 533mhz, but the pci and pci buses i did not lock it yet...will try and let you know

can not lock? did not see anything about lock the pci or pci buses
