 |  Overclocking a E6600 Just got mine today. I'm looking for some advice on how to over clock. First off my Idle temp is about 30C and my Full load temp is 38C - 40C. More specs are in my sig. For cooling I have a Zalman 9500 with AS5, The case has 2 120mm fans blowing air out and one infront sucking it in. Anyway what tools should I use to over clock my CPU and what would be a reasonable Idle tempeature to keep my processer at? I know my motherboard came with AI Nos or what ever its called, It can be used to overclock. Any help would be much appreciated.

  | Re: Overclocking a E6600 You will want to get some monitering programs like Speedfan, core temp, CPU Z, everest. Stress test programs like OCCT, Prime 95, SuperPI, Orthos. Heres my OC to give you an idea of settings.  And the Thread of Updates. It has arrived. - OverclockersClub Forums

| Re: Overclocking a E6600 I already downloaded CPU-Z, I'm going to have a look into those Stress test program's and read some more OC'ing tips before I try anything. I would be happy to OC mine to 3.0 - 3.2ghz Did you OC yours in the system Bios?

| Re: Overclocking a E6600 Yes but I prefer to call it the CMOS setup.

| Re: Overclocking a E6600 I was doing a bit of research... Do you think it would be wise to OC the cpu until the DRam:FSB ratio is 1:1.. I noticed you did that. Also what incriments should I increase the speed at... Best?? 1Mhz at a time???

Well you can go to 3 Ghz (333 X 9 ) right away without really changing any settings. After that incriment by 3 or 5 Mhz, you can do more so long as you raise the Vcore or/and other voltages approprititly with the increased speed. For example, after 3.1 Ghz I pretty much had to up the vcore one or two notches for every 3-5 Mhz I added. It really depends on your setup.... I suggest you look through the thread I posted, I did alot of updates so you can get a good feel on how to do it. Link again if you missed it. It has arrived. - OverclockersClub Forums

| Re: Overclocking a E6600 Before I start I just have a few other questions. To over clock in my bios I go into Jumperfree Config  Change AI tuning to manual, then change the CPU frequency to 333? does that sound right to you guys? Of course I will do this in small incriments. Sorry about pic quality lol.
