Wanting to overclock my CPU! Help!

Hello,
I have come to the conclusion that I need to over clock my CPU to enhance game play with the addition of my new GTX 260, and additional RAM. I added two more gigs of RAM for a total of four gigs.
My system specs are listed below!!
*Lian Li Server/Full Tower Classical PC-G75 with Window.
*CPU Type DualCore Intel Core 2 Duo E6600, 2400 MHz (No OC)
*MSI P6N SLI Platinum
*EVGA GTX260 Core216 (No OC)
*Four gigs CORSAIR XMS2 240-Pin DDR2 SDRAM DDR2 800 (PC2 6400) Dual Channel.
*26" Viewsonic LCD monitor.
*74 gig 10,000 RPM raptor OS drive. 120 gig 7200 RPM Maxtor storage drive. 120 gig 7200 RPM Maxtor game drive.
*Corsair 620 Watt Power Supply (CMPSU-620HX)
*Sound Blaster X-Fi Xtreme Gamer.
*Vista ultimate OS.
My FPS are not too bad on the games I play. I am a big BF2, and BF2142 game player. I do have my RAM set up in the bios correctly, but have left my CPU on auto. My 3D Mark vantage score is 10195 with my current config. I plan on buying a copy of Vista 64 bit to get control of my entire four gigs of RAM. System info reports four gigs installed, but only three gigs total physical memory.
Ok, I have not messed around with overclocking, so please inform me of the best route. At this point in time, I am just wanting to over clock my CPU. I have a huge LianLi server case with awesome air flow. I am using a large Zalman after market CPU cooler. Would it be better to wait until after I installed Vista 64 bit to do any overclocking?
So, should I just do a bunch of reading, or would it be better to take the advice of the informative people right here in the forums? I would like to be able to try some instruction from you guys so I can come right back to report performance, or lack there of.
Let me know if you guys need more info, and thanks allot!

Ok, I have done allot of reading, and have a few questions that are specific to my mobo (MSI P6N SLI Platinum). This is just an example: I see that my CPU voltage is 1.176v using CPUZ. In my bios, I cannot type in a number that I want the voltage to be. Instead I can only up the voltage in .0125 increments. Say I want my CPU voltage at 1.375v. Do I need to hit the "page up" key 16 times to get my voltage at 1.375v??
Also when adjusting FSB voltage, it is measured in percentages in the bios. First of all, what is the stock FSB voltage for my mobo? Where is this voltage displayed? If I wanted my FSB voltage to be 1.3, how much in percentages do I up it in the bios??
I hope all this makes sense.

Help! Can't overclock via CPU Ratio (multiplier) with K7T266 Pro (MS-6380)?

I have a Athlon 1.2 GHz (266 MHz FSB) that I'm trying to overclock via the clock multiplier on my K7T266 Pro (MS-6380) mobo.
Right now the CPU ratio is set to Auto in the Hardware Monitor in the BIOS, but I know that it's using a clock multiplier of 9 (9 x 133 Mhz = 1197 Mhz, which is about 1.2 Ghz)
The only way that I can overclock this CPU is by increasing the FSB above 133 MHz. That works, but I'd like to avoid that as the USB no longer works when the FSB is past 138 MHz (i.e. I can't OC higher than 1242 MHz through the FSB)
If I set the clock multiplier above 9 (ex: 9.5, 10, etc.) nothing happens. I reboot and my CPU is still at 1.2 GHz. Its as if I can't OC by increasing the CPU ratio. I'd like to set it to 10 and run at 1.33 GHz but I can't. Why is that?
If I lower my CPU ratio below 9, then the computer freezes up totally at bootup and I have to clear the CMOS to get it working again.
THANKS!

Hi,
You need to unloack the CPU, search google for closing L1 Bridges, then you can set it to anything you want

SATA Raid 0 and Overclocking Issues. Help!

I'm building out a machine that doesn't seem to want to overclock in the slightest bit. I think my Serial ATA RAID 0 array seems to be the problem with OC'ing. Each time I change the CPU FSB settings, when I boot up, it tries to detect my array. Then it reboots after it fails.
Does anyone know what's going on? Someone mentioned PCI Bus settings to me...???
On Anandtech they OC'd this chip to 2.6 Ghz (290x9) with an 8.3%+ in voltage. I can't even get to 220.
Any help would be much appreciated.
Thanks!
======================
System Setup:
Athlon 64 3000+ Socket 939
K8N Neo2 Platinum
2 Hitatchi 80 gig SATA HD's
Leadtek Winfast 6600 GT (AGP)
Zalman CNPS7000B-AlCu Heatsink
Seasonic Super Tornado 400W PS

Ok, I switched it to SATA 3/4 and then I couldn't boot. I kept getting some error which would cause it to boot again. It happened right after it detected the array successfully. The warning message happened so fast the first couple times I didn't even notice it. It would flash some sort of blue screen like error (only it was a black screen) and then reboot itself.
Frustrated, I decided to start from scratch again. I wiped out the discs and re-created the RAID 0 Array and put my WinXP CD back in. Now while setting up WinXP I hang at the "Setup is starting Windows" screen.
It won't go anywhere from that. It happens after I copy over the RAID Driver and Controller from the Floppy. It copies more files after that and then hangs...
I also reset the CMOS with the jumper settings, un-did and re-did my SATA connections, even unplugged the little MB battery... :(
Any suggestions? This is so frustrating.
TIA.

!!!!!I CAN'T OVERCLOCK MY CPU. BIOS DOESN'T RECOGNIZE MY AMD ATHLON XP-MOBILE

My configuration is this:
Mainboard: MSI K7N2-DELTA2-FSR
CPU: AMD Athlon XP-Mobile 2500+ 1855MHZ
Video Card: CAPTIVA Nvidia 6600GT 128MB 128bit
Hard disk: Internal Maxtor DiamonMax 10 300GB S-ATA 16MB Buffer
Audio Card: Sound Blaster Audigy Live 5.1 24bit
Power Supply: 400WATT
DVD drive: LG 16X
SO I OVERCLOCK MY CPU UNTIL 3200+ (2200mhz), AND IF I WANT TO OVERCLOCK MORE DURING "POST", BIOS DOESN'T RECOGNIZE THE NEW VALUE (ES: FSB 200 / X11.5 = 2300mhz . DOESN'T RECOGNIZE).
PLEASE HELP ME OR CAN YOU TELL ME HOW CAN I RESOLVE THIS PROBLEM???
THANKS A LOT. BYE

Please furnish us some more info concerning the memory you are using and power output of the 3.3v - 5v -12v rails of your power supply along with the name of its manufacturer.
Some mobile cpus start up with a lower multiplier and then go to the bios to use the preset settings in the bios. If the cpu can't start with the bios settings, it remains at its start up values. Your mobile may not be able to run at a multiplier of 11.5 with a 200fsb. Drop its fsb back to 166 (stock fsb 133) and see if you can run it at its rated multiplier of 14. That will equal 2324mhz.
Overclocking is finding a balance between the fsb and the multiplier that allows you to get the most stable speed out of the cpu.
You also have not mentioned what vcore voltage that you are using or the temps.
The memory that I'm using are : V-Data 512x2 MB DDR CL 2,5
The power supply is 400watt chassis, 3,3V, 12V, 5V.
I tell you that with the mainboard ASUS I did't have this problem with the multiplier because I put 11.5 x 200Fsb.
Thanks of all.MSI DriversMSI Drivers

I want to upgrade my cpu and get a gpu?

i want to upgrade my cpu from a core 2 duo e6750 to a core to quad q6600 and i want a new gpu ineed to be able to run 2 monitors and be able to run most games and design programs but i have heard its hard as my psu is only 240 watts so can someone please help me i will buy used ones if i have to but i need to know names of them as i have 5 dc7800 to upgrade ?
thanks

Hi,
The DC7800 SFF was not designed to run modern games. Modern games for most situations would require a graphics card and a supporting power supply of 400-600 watts which is not available for your PC. Another factor is the dimm speed in your PC which is inherently slow for video processing.

CPU HELP??????

I have a Compaq Presario CQ62-219WM and want to upgrade the cpu. What are options for my cpu? I have done some research and found a couple that may work. T6600, T6670, T8100. My current cpu is a Celeron 900 Socket P 478, afetr looking around and many google I found this thread, please help if you can. I have built my own desktop and have a fairly good knowledge, but it is an AMD and i'm not to up to date on Intel.
Thanks
This question was solved.
View Solution.

The PGA478 processors with the same voltage and fsb will work. The T6600 meets all those requirements. On the Celeron motherboards you may not be able to take advantage of Intel speedstepping so you may run into heat issues. Replacing the laptop processor is no easy task and rearely is economically justified. You are almost always better off selling your old laptop and buying one with the CPU you want.

What are "CPU Help Files" (custom install)?

I did a custom install, since I don't need the extra languages, only need some printer drivers, etc. One of the optional items is "CPU Help Files". The details field just echoes "CPU Help Files", with no explanation of what these are, why I would/not want them, etc. Does anyone know?

Hi Doug,
take a look at this thread:

It looks like these "CPU Help Files" are some sort of documentation.

Last time I overclocked a CPU Lynnfield had just been released!

I desperately need someone to hold my hand and help me overclock my new system as the last time I overclocked a CPU was when Lynnfield and the P55 chipset had just been released. Incidentally that was using my old MSI P55-GD80 (awesome board).
New PC spec -
MB - MSI Z87 GD65 Gaming
CPU - i5-4670K
Memory - Patriot Viper "Black Mamba" 4*4GB 1600MHz
Cooling - Corsair H100
Case - Corsair 600T SE
PSU - Corsair HX+ 750
All I've done so far is increase Vcore to 1.25V, change the multiplier to x45 and enabled XMP for the memory.
Anything past that is beyond my know how and all this talk of BCLK, PLL, CPU cache etc just makes my head hurt but explained properly I'm confident I could get to grips with it all.
Any help to get the most out of this cpu and motherboard would be greatly appreciated.

Sounds good to me if your getting [email protected] vcore... Wish I could use such small amount of voltage to be stable, I require about 1.44 at that speed for stability.

You have posted to the iTunes Match forum, which your question does not seem to be related to. Is your question concerning iTunes Match or syncing with iTunes via USB?

Then you should have done your homework. It clearly states in the warranty at:

IMPORTANT RESTRICTION FOR iPHONE AND iPAD SERVICE.
Apple may restrict warranty service for iPhone and iPad to the country where Apple or its Authorized Distributors originally sold the device.

Is there another way i could turn my phone on? it wont turn on or show me the battery screen to show its charging. i already tried to hold the on and home button at the same time but it does not want to turn on. please help?

These are your options:
1. Restore the iPhoto library from the most recent backup that predates the issue.
          Advantages: Always works, if library damage is causing the problem and the backup is intact.
          Disadvantages: Impossible if you don't have a backup. All changes made since the backup are lost.
2. Repair or rebuild the library. Be sure to back it up first.
          Advantages: May solve the problem with no loss of data.
          Disadvantages: May fail. May take a long time if the library is large.
3. Scavenge the library with a third-party application called "iPhoto Library Manager," which you can find in a web search. From the application's menu bar (not the iPhoto menu bar), select Library ▹ Rebuild.
          Advantages: All images should be preserved.
          Disadvantages: All books, calendars, and slideshows will be lost.

Hi cheperrumps,
Welcome to the Support Communities!
Uninstalling or reinstalling the iTunes application won't affect your music (data) -- but it's always a good idea to have a backup!
