I am having a bit of trouble overclocking my e6600 dual core duo.
My setup is:
Abit IP35-E motherboard
e6600 Processor
Crucial Ballistix 6400 cas4 ram.(1GBx2) also Crucial Dominator 6400. (1GBx2)
Thermalright 120 Ultra with high CFM fan 120MM fan here.
Antec P180 case.
Ultra 550W PSU.
Okay so my main issue is that I am having trouble overclocking very far.
I can't figure out if it's the processor or the ram because of a couple things... (it might be something else all-together) Basically If I go much above 350Mhz at 5-5-5-18 (the ram is (4-4-4-12) then the system won't boot. So 3150Mhz is about the top. Ram timing of 1:1.
This makes me think it could be the ram or the processor. So the next thing I do is lower the multiplier for 9 to 6 and then try to boot the ram at stock speeds. 6*400 = 2400Mhz. So the processor is at stock Mhz and the ram is at stock speed and still lower 5-5-5-8 timings and it still cannot boot. At this point I *** it was the ram not able to even do its stock speed. So I got my Crucial Ballistix in the mail today and it is acting exactly the same in regards to the speeds.
Just a note, I'm running the ram at 2.1 volts and processor at 1.35 volts. Haven't tried upping these much right now since I don't feel I really need to. My temps around anywhere from 21-30* idle and 45 or so at max load in coretemp.
Any suggestions?
