E6320

Read the guides then post back if you have any ?'s

chrish16, what overshocked is saying is to check out the generic guide here:
http://www.tomshardware.com/forum/ [...] uals-guide

which explains how to OC with all C2Ds, not just the chip they use as an example. All overclocking results are different - what works on one may not work with another.

If you ask a specific question, you will get tons of specific advice!

Hi guys
I've been trying some settings out.
On stock voltage which i believe seems to be 1.31v i have set it the FSB/RAM to unlinked and set the RAM at 800MHz (stock) for now.
I have the FSB at 1400MHz as at 1500MHz the BIOS would come up with a safe mode error and would revert to the stock speeds/bios default.
I have ran some benchmark software and the temp in coretemp reached 63 degrees.
I tried change the CPU voltage up each available step up to 1.4v i think and it made no difference, i think my motherboard will take up to 1.55v but i didn't try that far.
CPU-Z reports 2450.4 MHz
Is there anything i can do to overclock any higher?
