stuck:(

Finally i have at last got my hands on thickbrits ram, but i have hit a wall:help:.

I have got the system stable at 480, thats good for a 3d bench but anything over that and it just starts to complain at me.

So far i have given the core 1.8250v but that didnt help me at 485, i have had the ram volts to 2.6v as per instructed by thickbrit with heavy air flow i may hassen to add;), it seems to be the ram and not the chip thats holding me badck for now.
Right now though the core has 1.7850v and the ram 2.3v and thats gets me stable at 480. damm almost forgot the northbridge has 1.7v.

E6600
asus commando
700watt Eplison PSU
3870
cellshock 8500

Any thoughts on how to get a bit more out of it, i have played with the timmings but that hasnt helped me:coffee:

Plus my benching monitor went up in smoke this afternoon, i hope its not an omen.

wow you could fry bacon on the cpu with that vcore ;)

you never know till you try ;)

if thats FSB, 480 is a fairly common place for the original C2D chips to top out. Try increasing the pll voltage, it might let you hit 500. :)

what cooling you using on the cpu

drop the vcore to 1.7

put the fsb votage to max 1.55v

ram to 2.8v

Aye up Pants, get that CPU PLL up, been running 2.2v on some of mine to do well over 500FSB!

Vfsb play an important one as well

hello Bazx:)

i have a custom single stage modded by thickie himself(cheers mate;)), for the chip

i dont think i can got that far on the ram, thick bloke has only given it 2.7v max himself and he'll have better cooling that me, but i'll certainly give those other settings a go, i shall post again shorty.

That will kill the chips in a matter of weeks, and if you need 2.2V pll to do 500FSB, even on a quad, you have a bobbins chip- gotta say it.

i dropped the v-core to 1.7v
maxed out the FSB volts to 1.55v
had the ram up to 2.6v - not going any higher than that as its not mine
NB to 1.7v

At 480 i still crash apon window boot up i took the core to 1.7850v but lowered that and the ram voltage down to 1.7500v and 2.3v, which seemed to be better if you know what i mean, but i still couldnt get into windows. Perhaps i have hit a wall and thats it as far as i can go? I had the ram at every voltage in between aswell just to be sure;)

[Thickbrit]

Gary,that ram will spi up to 600mhz 4-4-4-4 with 2.7v.It is not the ram holding you back at 480.I doubt any more than about 1.7v vcore will do you any favours.Get a monster fan over the northy and try a bit more voltage to that,just for elimination purposes.

[Dualist]

Do you have any idea on your temps while loading windows at 1.7v.?
I struggled to get 500fsb on my E6600 on a single stage into windows at that amount of volts. More frosty can get 540fsb out of it, crappy corsair didn't hold me back.
Clock your chip then tweak your ram.
What week is your chip/stepping.?
