Q6600 Overclock Help

guys need help here. I overclocked my q6600 @ 3.2ghz stable. I want to push it further to 3.6ghz. Any idea how to push it? here is my current setting @3.2ghz. I was able to push with with 3.6ghz but i experience error it occt and prim95.they said the cpu gtl is a big factor to be stable at 3.6ghz and i have no idea on the gtl values in msi p45. thanks! I will appreciate your help

You'll need more FSB VTT voltage. Try about 1.35v then set: vGTLref0 to 67% of VTT, and vGTLref1 to 63% of VTT.
i already try to raise the FSB VTT at 1.35. how would i know the gtl value? i cant see 67% reading i got values which is .6xxxxx, .8xxxxx
by the way here is the bios setting that Ive tried

Now, I ran Prime95 on it from 2 AM last night till 2PM today, and had no problems. Very stable.
My only problem now is that I get random restarts on my system sometimes, like when I'm loading stuff, and so it restarts randomly, and then on boot, my Wireless Card (D-Link DWA-552 Extreme Wireless N) wont work anymore. Windows will see it, and says it works, but it wont detect any wireless networks. My Sound Card works fine, it is also in a PCI slot like the Wireless Card, so I'm wondering what else I need to tweak to make my peripherals working.
Thanks

Q6600 overclock with MSI p965 neo 2

Hi,
I would love to overclock my q6600 from 2.4 to 3.0 Ghz.
I've bought a new cooler and placed it.
Specs:
Q6600 , 2 Gb ram, nvidia 9800 GT, 500GB.
Motherboard:
MSI p965 neo2 (MS-7235 v2)
Software: Windows 7
The bios isn't very easy. It isn't possible to adjust everything.
Help pls. I installed a new cpu cooler and it should reach 3.0
Thanks in Advance.!
ps: I posted also here http://www.overclock.net/intel-cpus/631489-q6600-overclock-msi-p965-neo-2-a.html#post7949152

Thats right, as 10acjed said
(2x) 1 GB DDR2-800 DDR2 SDRAM (6-6-6-18 @ 400Mhz) (5-5-5-15 @ 333Mhz) (4-4-4-12 @ 266Mhz )
I can also choose 800 Mhz like the picture of his, but the adjusted dram frequency differs and 800 will result in like ~999.
Btw the dram Mhz is on generally on [auto], but that is the same as 800.
So I set it to 667, So the adjusted dram freq will be around 830.
that could be your problem right there. Is that when you are running at 300 FSB??
Try it at 533 and see what happens... If it is at 830 when set to 667 and you try and raise the cpu higher its also raising the ram higher, probably causing an issue..
I am still pretty sure you are hitting a wall with that board, its just not a great overclocking board. I am extremely disappointed with my NEO-F as far as overclocking goes. But its been running stable for about 3 years now so its a good board....
If all else fails run it at 300 - 320 (as high as you can get stable) and put the ram at 667 so it runs around 830, ou will have a nice moderate OC...

Ok now thats out the way, basically what I need to know is a walk through for this motherboard to JUST overclock the CPU to about 3GHz per core and was wondering what BIOS settings need to be enabled/disabled to effect this properly...I don't want to overclock ram or voltages though.

Ok I've pretty much sorted what I needed to know....got it stable up to 3.6ghz (400FSB) and the ram at 800mhz, posted fine although bit twitchy without messing with voltages....maybe sort that out another time as this was merely an experment to see how far it could go...overall very impressed at being able to even reach a 50% overclock on air cooling ...anyway reset everything back to defaults now.

P6N Diamond+Quad core overclocking - Help if you have this board.

Am having some issues trying to get even the simplest overclock on this board plus some wierd stuff it is doing with ram settings. Can't get linked setting to work.
I've read all of the 680i tutorials. Nvidia, XS, HardOCP..............I've read Toms Hardware pre-release review. Basically anything I could find..............
Chip is running cool and rock stable at stock settings with either bios.

ok lads - here we go...
it's been a very interesting and revealing morning for me - spent the last 5 hours tweaking the bios, then testing, then tweaking, then testing. these are the results:
note 1: unless otherwise stated, all settings are 'optimised defaults' with 'CE1' disabled (go into 'advanced BIOS features/cpu feature' and press F4 if you can't find it) and 'spread spectrum' disabled.
note 2: unless otherwise stated, 'system clock mode' is set to manual and the memory is set to 800 and timings are on auto.
note 3: default voltages are used unless stated
note 4: each prime95 test is carried out for 5 minutes only
note 5: i'm using a thermaltake kandalf vd4000 case with built-in liquid cooling system. my water-cooled cpu temp in the bios is 19oC (can't seem to get the degree sign using the tip at the top of this page)
note 6: cpu is q6600. memory is 2x1gb xms2 dominator pc2-8500. vga is gainward 8800gtx. psu is hiper 5th gen type-r 770w. bios version is 1.2.
note 7: core temp 0.95 was used for establishing cpu temperature. (apparently, this gives default readings that are 15oC higher than the actual relevant cpu temperature).
test 1 (stock cpu setting):
fsb set to 1066
=2.4ghz
error-free prime95 for 5 minutes: YES
max load temp: 46
test 2:
fsb set to 1166
=2.62ghz
error-free prime95 for 5 minutes: YES
max load temp: 47
test 3:
fsb set to 1206
=2.71ghz
error-free for 5 minutes: NO (4 cores failed within 30 seconds)
max load temp: 47
decided to try pumping some more volts into the cpu to see if i could get it stable in prime95
test 4:
fsb set to 1206
=2.71ghz
cpu voltage increased by 0.0125
error-free for 5 minutes: NO (4 cores failed within 30 seconds)
max load temp: 47
test 5:
as above, but cpu voltage increased by 0.0250
error-free for 5 minutes: NO (4 cores failed within 30 seconds)
max load temp: 47
test 6:
as above, but cpu voltage increased by 0.0375
error-free for 5 minutes: NO (4 cores failed within 30 seconds)
max load temp: 48
test 7:
as above, but cpu voltage increased by 0.0500
error-free for 5 minutes: NO (4 cores failed within 30 seconds)
max load temp: 48
test 8:
as above, but cpu voltage increased by 0.0625
error-free for 5 minutes: NO (4 cores failed within 30 seconds)
max load temp: 49
test 9:
as above, but cpu voltage increased by 0.0750
error-free for 5 minutes: NO (4 cores failed within 30 seconds)
max load temp: 49
test 10:
as above, but cpu voltage increased by 0.0875
error-free for 5 minutes: NO (4 cores failed within 30 seconds)
max load temp: 49
test 11:
as above, but cpu voltage increased by 0.1000
error-free for 5 minutes: NO (4 cores failed within 30 seconds)
max load temp: 50
this took me to the recommended limit for voltage for the q6600, which is 1.375v.
it seems i can safely say that changing the cpu voltage makes absolutely no difference at all.
still keeping the fsb at 1206, the next thing i tried was increasing the NB voltage to 1.275v and keeping the cpu voltage at +0.1000
these settings still couldn't get prime95 to run error-free for more than a few seconds.
keeping the fsb at 1206, cpu voltage at +0.1000 and the NB voltage at 1.275, the next thing for me to try was increasing the 'fsb vtt voltage' by 2%
SUCCESS!!! SUCCESS!! SUCCESS!!
using the above settings, prime95 ran error-free for 5 minutes.
my next problem was trying to work out which of the above voltages settings was the kicker.
keeping the fsb at 1206, i returned the cpu voltage back to default and kept the nb voltage at 1.275 and the 'fsb vtt voltage' at 2%.
SUCCESS!! SUCCESS!! SUCCESS!!
prime95 ran error-free for 5 minutes.
next test was keeping the fsb at 1206, the cpu voltage at default. i also returned the nb voltage to default but left the 'fsb vtt voltage' at 2%.
SUCCESS!! SUCCESS!! SUCCESS!!
prime95 error-free for 5 minutes again!
it seems like the vtt voltage is an important player in getting the system to appear stable.
the next test, i set fsb to 1254 giving 2.82ghz.
keeping all voltages on default except the 'fsb vtt voltage' which i kept at 2%.
prime95 produced errors again, pretty much within the first few seconds...
the next test, i kept fsb at 1254, with default voltages, but the 'fsb vtt voltage' was increased to 4%
SUCCESS!! SUCCESS!! SUCCESS!!
prime95 ran error-free for 5 minutes.
all of a sudden, it seems that regardless of the other settings, the only voltage that matters is the 'fsb vtt voltage'
next test, fsb was set to 1278=2.87ghz.
vtt voltage was 4%
prime95 ran error-free for 5 minutes: YES
cpu temp during load: 49o
next test, fsb was set to 1302=2.92ghz
vtt voltage was 4%
prime95 ran error-free for 5 minutes: YES
cpu temp: 49o
next test, fsb was set to 1326=2.98ghz
vtt voltage was 4%
prime95 ran error-free for 5 minutes: YES
cpu temp: 49o
next test, fsb was set to 1350=3.03ghz
vtt voltage was 4%
CPU FAILED TO POST AND REQUIRED BIOS RESET
next test, fsb was kept at 1350=3.03ghz
vtt voltage increased to 6%
booted fine, but computer froze during prime95
next test, fsb was kept at 1350
vtt voltage was increased to 8%
again, pc froze during prime95
next test, fsb was kept at 1350
vtt voltage was increased to 12%
computer failed to post, requiring reset.
12% was as far as i was comfortable going to, as i'm not sure of the consequences of having this set too high.
it seemed i had reached the limit as far as pushing the fsb goes.
i returned the vtt voltage back to 4% and lowered the fsb to 1334 (i had a hunch that anything over 1333 would give me problems). again, this failed to post.
i set the vtt voltage to 6% - again, it failed to post.
i set the vtt voltage to 8% and again, it failed to post.
i lowered the fsb JUST ONE NOTCH to 1333 and set the vtt voltage to 4%.
this gives an exact cpu speed of 3.000ghz
i'm not sure if this is a coincidence or not, but this setting posted, booted and ran prime95 for 5 minutes without any errors.
it then ran prime95 for over an hour with no errors.
curiously, i set the fsb back up a notch to 1334 and it refused to post, requiring a bios reset.
as i said, it seems 1333 is the absolute limit that i can set this board to in my system configuration. now i don't know about you, but the fact that 1333 works perfectly stable, and 1334 doesn't even post tells me that there is something not quite right with this board.
is it too much of a coincidence that the cpu/mobo hits a wall at EXACTLY 1333/333/3.0ghz?
the next thing i did was set my memory to 1066 and manually set the timings to 5,5,5,15.
coupled with my new rock solid 3.0ghz q6600, this is about as far as it is physically possible for me to push this setup and i'm more than happy with the results.
now i can't wait for the G0 stepping to see what that can do.
maybe a future bios will help with this - who knows...

P7N Platinum/Q6600 Overclocking suggestions needed.

Hello all, first of all let me say I'm brand new to the board and the information posted has been really helpful. My issue though is that I feel uncomfortable with the overclocking process. I left everything at default but changed the FSB to 1333 to get 3.0. That's fine and dandy but I want to make sure everything is running at maximum. Here is a list of my parts:
RAIDMAX SMILODON Case
RAIDMAX 730W PS
MSI P7N SLI Platinum
Intel Core 2 Quad Q6600
ARCTIC COOLING Freezer 7 Pro
G.SKILL 8GB (4 x 2GB) DDR2 SDRAM DDR2 800 (PC2 6400)
EVGA GeForce GTX 280 1GB
So here's the question, what should my "Cell Menu" settings be for an overclock of 3.0, what should my ram settings be? Also, is 3.0 considered conservative? Should I shoot for more?
Any information is greatly appreciated!

Hi all. Just thought I'd drop a note on here to say I've been using these posts to help me OC my own q6600 and p7n sli combination and it's been very helpful. Compared to the p35 board I had before it's horrid to overclock but after much trial and error I'm getting there thanks to your help
One problem I still have is with my RAM which is rated to run at 1066 but currently sits at 800 after my overclock to 3ghz. I just tried upping the ram clock to 1066 and it appeared as if the machine would post correctly but then hung before loading windows...
Any ideas as to how I can fix this? My ram voltage is at 2.2 and timings set to 5-5-5-15. I'm using Corsair Dominator 8500
Northbridge voltage currently at 1.4 in preparation for my next increase in FSB.
edit: I'm now running at 3.6 after copying the bios settings from the post above. Still want to get the ram going faster though.

P7n diamond+Q6600 overclocking not stable

hi folks
im currently trying to overclock my Q6600 to 3.6 but for some reason its not stable..tried dierent voltages and still crash after 5m with OCCT,does anyone know some good setup or ideas to make this work?
by the way here are my voltages for now:
fsb clock 1600
dram clock 800
cpu v 0.22500
dram v 2.10
nb v 1.450
sb v 1.550
cpu gtl 0.850
fsb term 1.245

Hi smatos. Could you give us the settings & voltages you have tried so far, & what has been your highest stable OC & settings? In bios Cell Menu, do you have 'Spread Spectrum' disabled?
What type CPU cooler do you have? Do you have any auxilliary cooling for the Northbridge? On my P7N D., NB heat, & a FSB hole at 1600 +/- 30, was it's biggest obstacle. To relieve the NB heat, the heatsink was removed & reseated with AS5 thermal compound, & a spot cooler put in place. Substantial case air flow is also critical in an aggressive OC.
In this section of the forum, there are several threads OC'ing the P7N D. & the Q6600. There may be some good tips & info in them that may be of help as well. Here's a couple links;

Q6600 overclock won't start up on cold start, but works fine on restart?

I've successfully overclocked my Q6600 on my msi p6ndiamond board, but I have a weird issue. If I start up my computer from a cold start, it will almost always crash. After restarting however, it will work just fine. I don't know what this is a symptom of. It's like my computer needs to warm up before it can use the overclock. Anyone know what the issue might be?

I've also noticed that my computer takes a bit longer to start up than it used to... once things are running in windows everything is normal and often faster than before, but initial start up is a tad sluggish.
Thats mostly a sign that something isnt getting enough juice, same goes for:

Try raising NB step by step and see how that goes, did the trick for me on my P6N Platinum.
Dont go to far, otherwise other boot issues can occur, like not being able to boot, only if power is completely drained from motherboard (at least thats the case with my board )
Dont touch SB, no use in upping voltage on that, its only a connection to HD, keyboard etc, low profile stuff, if im correct.

P67A-GD65 Overclocking Help!

Hey everyone - I'm new to the forums and fairly new to overclocking in general, although I understand the basics of it... I've run into a snag, though.
Recently I was redoing my desktop (Intel i5 2500k, MSI P67A-GD65, 16GB DDR3 1600 RAM, yada yada) and decided to update the BIOs, something I hadn't thought of doing since I built the PC over a year and a half ago... So, I updated from 1.9 (I think... it was 1.something) to the latest 4.3, and did a reformat on the HDDs and installed a fresh copy of Windows 7 Ultimate 64 bit... So I'm from scratch. I go into the BIOs to tweak the CPU and all, but I can't adjust anything at all. It's all stuck on "AUTO". I can't make the adjustments I need to make to overclock the CPU... I've read through several tutorials and threads on more forums than I care to admit, and my head is starting to hurt from (1) reading so much and (2) banging my head into the desk over this... Am I missing something? I've read that 4.3 has had some issues when it comes to OC'ing... What should I do? I can grab screenshots or more specs if needed. Thanks for the help in advance - I definitely appreciate it!
-Ben

Have you tried a full CMOS clear? PSU power cord removed, battery removed, and then a settings reset? My favorite UEFI/BIOS was the v1.C and the v1.H (2700k support). If you want, it is possible to revert back to a Sandy UEFI/BIOS on the primary BIOS chip. An admin or mod can give you the necessary files and information on how to do it.
After the Ivy flash, did you also load the new Management Engine driver required? Also with a fresh OS, newest chipset driver installed, etc.? Here's the link to the MSI Website for your board and all the drivers;

I did a CMOS reset with the "Reset CMOS" button on the motherboard... After I did that and restarted the PC, a message came up informing me that the CMOS had been restored to default settings and asked if I wanted to go into setup or boot as normal... I can pop the battery and PSU cable out if needed... At this point, I'd be perfectly happy reverting back to a Sandy Bridge friendly BIOS, lol...
I did install the new drivers after flashing the new BIOS, by the way. Followed all the instructions in the link you posted.

MOVED: MSI X58 pro and core i7 920 c0 overclocking help

This topic has been moved to Overclockers & Modding Corner.

When your time permits, list 'all' your systems components, OS etc., including PSU +12V amps on the rail(s).

cannot even get it to post at 3.6ghz with manual voltage increases in all things, and auto doesnt help, is this normal?
Yes, when it isn't necessary to do "increases in all things".

Im not very confident with doing the ioh mod but im getting 90 degrees with no overclock
The addition of a fan to direct air flow at the IOH, will reduce the temp. The Antec Spot Cool works well for this. Aftermarket CPU coolers have taken away the engineered passive air flow the stock cooler provides (presuming you are not using the stock cooler). 90c is in spec, so RMA solely upon that is doubtful. Again, when time permits, include what OC goals you are looking for as well. Most OC'ing takes time, patience, & trial & error.

BIOS Overclocking, help please!

Hi people! I readed days ago a post where an user wrote a key combination to make this:
Lets supose that you are overclocking and you go too far, so the machine won't boot and you will have to reset BIOS.
This key combination allows you to enter BIOS when this happens, without losing any changes of the o'clocking!!! Awesome!
(I hate going too far and reset the BIOS and make all the settings again and again)
Any1 remembers the key combination??? I can't remember it and I can't find the post again! :(:(
It was something like Shift + F6...
Thanks! Help would be very apreciated! And like I say everytime, sorry for my english!!!

Need Overclocking Help

Okay, I'm new here. I got a new system and i want to maximize it.
Intel Pentium 4 2.4A / 1mb / 533mhz
MSI Neo2-PFS Platinum
GeCube ATI Raden 9550EE / 12mb / 128bit
PQI 512DDR PC400
HEC 475w PSU
so where should i start? must i update the BIOS first? I want to do this 1 at a time, and I'm totally new to overclocking, as in NEW.
Any help would be highly appreciated.

well, what your experiencing probably isn't the max of your CPU, try relaxing the timings on your ram... also, you'll definitely need to put your FSB to RAM ratio at 1:1
its probably still at at 133:200 (2:3???) cuz thats what the mobo would have detected... and when you raise the 133 (your CPU) its going to raise the 200 too (RAM)....
so make sure your FSB:RAM ratio is 1:1 , anotherwords, whatever speed your FSB is at, you'll want your RAM to be...
also, you may be able to boot (power on self test... like actually see stuff come up instead of no video) but you won't necissarily be able to keep the speed stable... at a certain speed....
you'll probably be able to see the instability... for example... in video games, if you play a lot of games and they start crashing on you... i know my Prescott 2.4, anything past 3.4 and it would crash Internet Explorer!!! (back when i had stock cooling on it) if its very very unstable, it won't even load windows (blue screen and restart) so you'll see the instabilities if they are that bad... and a good way to test is through use of a Distributed Computing Program, and if you'd like to kno more about that, i'd be morn happy to give you more info on MSI Red Rockets Folding at Home team (a super team btw )
so try that... you should get at least a bit farther... i linked to my screenie to give you an idea of what this thing can do i don't really doubt that you can do the same

BIOS V1.6 Overclocking help pls!

Hi guys
I have a 875P Neo-FIS2R and since I upgraded my bios to V1.6 I have found the FSB of my P4 has been overclocked to 203Mhz from the standard 200Mhz. :(
I have also found that my graphics card has been overclocked. (A Geforce4 ti 4400 and the core is overclocked close to a Geforce4 ti 4600).
I can fix the FSB with core cell back to 200Mhz but this only lasts until the next restart. I have not found a way to fix the GPU ocing.
Btw I set the bios voltage of the AGP at 1.55V but on core cell it is always set to 1.6V when I reboot.
Has anyone else experienced this problem and does anyone know how to fix this problem or do we have to wait till the next bios is out (V1.7?)
Thanks for you help. :D

Hi ppl )
I no this is an old post but I know a few of us still have the problem of our GCs overclocked as well as our FSBs overclocked to 203Mhz by the new bios V1.6.
I have since e-mailed MSI technical support with this letter:
"Hello
I have recently purchased a 3Ghz 800Mhz FSB Pentium 4 and a MSI Neo2-FIS2R 875P motherboard. I noticed that when using core cell the FSB was automatically overclocked to 203MHz each time I loaded up. As I do not wish to overclock at the moment I turned the FSB down using the "-" button then pressed OK and then saved. Core cell would then read the correct 3Ghz (no overclocking).
However I found the P4 overclocked again after I restarted the next time. So I did the exact same with corecell and lowered the FSB to 200Mhz exactly so that it wasnt overclocked. I was sure I saved this setting with corecell and then I uninstalled core cell so it could no longer change this FSB setting.
However when I rebooted and checked the speed with the "Intel frequency ID Utility" the FSB was said to be 811Mhz so it was in fact 203Mhz again. I checked the CPU BUS CLOCK in the bios and it is set to 200Mhz. I then tried the default setting of 201Mhz with corecell with the same result after rebooting.
So basically how can I prevent this overclocking happening automatically. I have a MSI Neo2-FIS2R with a 875P chipset and bios version 1.6? I dont want to overclock because I want to keep the Intel P4 warrenty.
Another question: Does that MAT function that is available in V1.6 affect the Processor at all or only the RAM and will it void the warrenty of the P4 if run? It is currently set to SLOW."
soz for the long read but had to get everything in.
Now for the interesting part 8)
THIS IS MSI TECH SUPPORTS REPLY!!!!!:
"Dear Sir/Madam,
Thank you for contacting MSI Technical Support.
There will be tolerance difference when the softwares detect the clock.
It's normal. It won't cause reliability nor stability problem.
Please feel free to let us know if you still have any further problem.
Best regards,
MSI Technical Support"
8o 8o 8o
Is anyone else shocked 8o by this response because MSI seems to be overclocking "cheating" and are happy to say that is only a tolerance in the clock meanwhile so many other users have experienced this as well so it definately isnt a tolerance difference.
Thanks would like your views on the matter
