eythigramisi Posted April 4, 2008 Posted April 4, 2008 Hi all. I own 4 x 1 GB OCZ Platinum PC10666 DDR3. I was wondering what the timings and the volts should be if i clock my CPU (Q6600) @ 3.2 MHz. for now, I am @ 3.0 MHz and the Timings of the memories are 7 - 7 - 7 - 20 2T and the volts @ 1.80 In other words, if the fsb changes, should the timing and volts of memory change too? I just need some guidance or a link so to read information. Thanks in advance. Quote
jurek Posted April 4, 2008 Posted April 4, 2008 if u want a complete solution you may find it on net try google... if there is any solution u should be able to find it... http://jtbarker.wordpress.com/2008/04/03/40ghz-overclocking-by-core-2-quad-q6600-feel-the-power/ this video tutorial is kinda great for one who knows what is it all about in general (well i dunno what is your knowledge so if u would feel ofended by my post pls excuse me) u can just overclock cpu without overclocking memory by correctly adjusting fsb:dram multiplier/divider (dunna which name is proper) or just lowering memory freq when rising cpu freq but if u just cant adjust this the solution is simple... in the begining of oc u must set the lowest frequency for your memory that mobo allows and lower timings for that frequency (i assume u know that anchoring pci clock also is a must be!) then try rising cpu frequency at some point when u ve rised your cpu freq too high u may got errors... thats when u should by trial and error either lower timings or set higher vdram for memo (try first setting higher vdram) example... from my experience (which is minute btw lol) i have e2160 @ 1.8ghz fsb@200mhz and memory ddr2 800 cl5 (5-5-5-18 from spd) first in bios i anchor pci @100mhz, dram is in my bios mobo lowest 533mhz and i let it be timings from spd which are for 533mhz a 4-4-4-12 then i oc my cpu a little now its @2070mhz with pci @100mhz and dram@ 306.7=613mhz effective at 4-4-4-12 and if i wanted go higher i would oc my cpu more by lowering cl to 5-5-5-15 and if at some point errors come i would try rising vdram or lowering cl if that would be possible hope i helped lol (btw u need to have good mobo for oc i have shity one) Quote
eythigramisi Posted April 7, 2008 Author Posted April 7, 2008 thanks for the answer. it was interesting. actually the guys in the video were giving too many volts on the cpu @ 3.0 GHz i am doing the same with only 1.21 volts. anyways, an interesting link is here. http://www.ocztechnologyforum.com/forum/showthread.php?t=31299?t=32363 i 'll try to take my Q6600 @ 3.2 GHz without changing the timings or the volts. my mobo is ASUS P5K3. hope it wont be a ASUS P5K3 Smoking Edition.

jurek Posted April 7, 2008 Posted April 7, 2008 u ve spent some mony on your hardware good ddr2 would be better i guess... but u got hardware good for future u may try going to 3.2ghz without changing settings in memory but if u wont succeed then memory is stopping u Quote
