e6600 Overclock

[Farm]

I'm about to start the OC process on my e6600.

I am using a P5B Deluxe and PC-800 Super Talent Ram with 4-4-3-8 timings.

To oversimplify things, it would seem that most people are able to get the e6600 to 3.2-3.6ghz. Would starting with FSB 400 x 9 multiplier and Vcore of 1.45, and Ram of 1:1 with 4-4-3-8 timings be a good place to begin.

I understand the whole stepping process, but this seems like a pretty reasonable staring place based on where people seem to end up.

I guess an alternative would be to go with FSB of 333ghz x 9 and Vcore of 1.40 or so. That would get me to 3.0ghz.

Any advice or experience??

Loosen the timings a bit, say to 4-4-4-12 and find your FSB sweet spot, then start to tighten the timings back up.

1.4V for 333FSB? Seems a bit high to me. I'm on 402FSB at the moment (pushing for 430~ tomorrow) and rock solid on 1.35V.

Why not unlink the memory and find the max overclock for the cpu first, then work on the memory overclock.

go to the OC guide here......

FSB first.... lower multiplier and memory to lowest possible settings
cpu second.... combine the max FSB you could determine and use a memory diveder if you need to
memory third..... memtest86 w/ multiplier down still


give 'er some voltage... 1.45- 1.475v. Whatever temps will allow.
