Q6600 Overclocking

[Snipawolf]

I can't make it work.

When I over clock it via BIOS, it just ups the temp and voltage, the gigahertz stay the same.

Using Ntune, I get a blue screen of death or just a reboot. I've tried other things, and they don't work either. Ntune works, for the first 150 megahertz... After that, crash.

Any suggestions?

Edit: Well, I know what some people may want

Nforce 680i
Nvidia 8800gt
Intel Q6600 2.4 ghz quad core
2 gigs of DDR2-800 RAM

i dunno the specifics of why yours isnt working but on my abit35 pro mobo i oc'd mine from 2.4 to 3.6 without a problem (runs at 61 degrees on load)

you running stock cooling ?? what heatsink do you have

also i heard some mobos suck at ocing a 6600 (in terms of temp and stability)

- is that a G0 revision of Q6600 ?
- ram at 1:1 bus ?
- pci-e locked at 100mhz ?
- core voltage ?

And please don't oc through windows.

I had no problem with mine, and my system is identical to yours, asside from a newer model mobo.

Thanks to CPU-Z.

It is a G0 revision.
FSB:DRAM 2:3
(I'll check in a bit, I can't restart right now...)
Core Voltage : 1.392v

- Set your ram to 1:1 and its voltage to 2.2v
- Lock your PCI-E to 100Mhz
- Higher a bit the northbridge voltage
- disable EIST and other energy friendly features
- Higher your FSB to 400

[Snipawolf]

FSB stays the same...

[Masure]

Check on the net if your motherboard/chipset requires some setting for the fsb to be changed. I never OCed nforce 6 chipset but it looks weird cause those are usualy made for OC.

[Peet]

I have an identical board and OCing is dead simple and straightforward

[Snipawolf]

I know... Supposedly, all I am needed to do for an OC is merely change one or two values, set auto/1:1 and a few other things, and I'm good to go, since almost everything else is automatic.

I just don't see why my FSB doesn't change

[Argh]

Did you use RAM with mixed speeds, or different manufacturers?

[Snipawolf]

Both of my RAM sticks are of the same make/manufacturer. It even came with both of them in a single package.

[Masure]

That should work but try to flash your bios to the latest of the best known for OC
