I was just thinking because like, the sticker on the memory says 400MHz, whereas the cpu would be running at 333MHz, that it might cause some kind of catastrophic failure.

In other words, I'm scared.

When I had a 2500+ Barton I was able to easily overclock it to run with a FSB of 200 MHz (400 MHz effective) to match my RAM. But it doesn't need to match, so don't worry.

 

[manicsoul]

Waaaaaa u beat me because it overclock.

you know that the save OC speed for quad is 3ghz rite? because at ur speed you going to short live your cpu.

lol that only depends on the voltage you put through it and the heat, the recommended heat max heat for a q6600 is 75 degrees, mines at 53 on 100% cpu =P, i have a zalman 7900 cpu cooler and a antec 900 gaming case lol.

nice i need more watt before overclocking and 3 more fan in my case. I already have 4 just need 3 more =d

Did you need any cooling equipment to do that? I've only got a CPU fan, a PSU fan and a video card fan running atm, without the side of the case on. Will that become unstable or anything?

EDIT: Oh awesome it works now and it's running a little over the average capacity at those forums I looked at! ^_^

[zehurricane]

get like 2 more fan or something. keep thing stable.

we should have a 3dmark score. well my last one was 11035 or something or rank 21 in da world with out OC.

 

[Nebuchanezzar]

Hmm. Best I have atm (no cash atm either) is an old fan from a 10 year old HP computer. I doubt that'll be of any use. What if I just keep the cover off the computer and face a room fan into the box? It'll be a bit noisy and cumbersome but surely it'll get the job done? :rofl:

 

[zehurricane]

if u want dust then go ahead. just dont spill drink. fan are like 15 dollar top

Do you have ramsinks? Or just put that fan you have over the ram slots.
@manicsoul: nice oc there, is it prime stable?

 

[Nebuchanezzar]

After a google image search I'm assuming that ramsink means heatsink. Yeah I got one on my cpu with a fan already (obviously), but my northbridge dealie doesn't have a fan on top of it.

 

[STx]

ah ok, if you're not going for a big oc you dont need a fan for the north bridge but check how warm it is anyway. Ok im guessing the ram doesn't have heatsinks on it so try put that fan over the ram slots if you can get it to hold there or tie to some part inside. Something like this http://eclipseoc.com/phpwcms_filestorage/1/1_117.jpg

 

[Nebuchanezzar]

I'm going down to the store tommorow to buy a couple of cheap fans to put on the front and back of the case. I might be able to put this old one dangling over the northbridge/ram depending on what happens. If I need to I'll get another!

EDIT: I'll just try what Dumsum said (I'm hoping he'll come back and tell me what his cooling things were like). Put the fsb speed from 166 to 200 so it goes from 1.8GHz to 2.2GHz.

 

[jb_nc]

man im not downloading that shit

 

[zehurricane]

then why post hmmmmm?

 

[shinji]

he wants to feel special.. haha;

seems a lot of ppl have an 8500GT here;
running the test atm..

i still think that the 3dmark06 is a better test graphically.
btw this is the complete test;

I overclocked it and now it has a passmark score of 314.7. Putting the FSB speed up has had a tremendous impact on almost everything. Especially the ram. I did it still with the default HSF, albeit with a few noisy fans on the case. ^_^

 

[zehurricane]

wow most of you guys are under 1000s mark. This made my computer feel like it a powerhouse >.> lol

 

[shinji]

lol.

my motherboard / gpu is limiting my score.

i got a 945GZM-S2 & 8500GT (which i've oc'd .. but i actually get lower resuts? wtf)
my mobo runs gpu's @x4.

but go to www.incrysis.com and post that benchmarking program. they're rigs will pwn urs.

 

[zehurricane]

ehh i get bout 25 to 30 fps on all high and 1600 x 1200 soo dont think you rig would pwn me homie.

Have you tried clocking that q6600?
