Overclock Q6700 on P5N32 SLI Deluxe

[silver03]

Hey Guys

I want to overclock my system for some extra power.
My system: Board P5N32 SLI-Deluxe, CPU Q6700, RAM 4 x Apacer DDR2 1GB, PC-6400
Now what settings i do need to change to get an stabel low noise system that runs with the stock fan. Ist this even possible?
I would be pleased if I could run it around 3 GHz
Thx.

That your mobo? Unfortunately, it's not a good overclocker. You can try the C2D/C2Q o/c guide:

so you think with a new mobo I would have a better chance?!?
which one would aou recomend?

 

[auscanzukus]

P5Q PRO or GA-EP45-DS3R

P5Q Deluxe would go as well?

 

[auscanzukus]

Yes, Deluxe would be best of the P5Qs.

Would you go for a special fan or is the Intel one good enough? and if, waht kind of fan do i need?

the other thing is, are the ram's good enough?

thx so far!

What kind of fans? cpu? Stock can o/c a bit, but will limit your o/c. Look into Xigmatek HDT-S1283.

ddr2-800mhz is fine for o/cing 65nm unless you have LN2/DICE/phase cooling.

hm, my retailer has the Asus Silent Knight 2 or ASUS Silent Square EVO, or some Arctic Cooling cpu fan's. with which one would you go?
