If it doesn't fail within 30 minutes, I would say it is good to go. Once you have found an ideal fsb/memory ratio you can do a more thorough stability test.

Also try relaxing the timing on the RAM to 5-5-5-15 if you are looking for the top end on the RAM.

OKay Ill give it a shot.... might be awhiile before I post again..... but eventually Ill let you know how it goes..

Well here I sit on this rainy day....... Orthos ran lastnight at level 10 for 8 hrs without any problems.... here were the settings I used...



1600 FSB, 8xmultiply, VC1.4volts, memory2.1v at 800mhz(but its running at somewheres around 775)5-5-515 setting.

I have screen shots to show u more detailed info, but there not coming out clear when I post.... now this puts me around 3ghz (i was at 3.38 before but not quit stable). HOw do I get back up there?? Do I start increasing the FSB again or slowly start increasing memory. I tried 900mhz for memory but the system wouldnt boot up....






the core temp only reached at highest point, 51degrees...:)

Just did my very first OC on my new rig yesterday (which coincidently, I finished building the night before). After reading countless posts, guides and information on it, I was ready to do it!

I'm currently running my E6750 @ 3.52Ghz (8 * 440) with 1.3500 volts. Temp usually hangs around 45C on load. If I turn the AC off in my bedroom though, it peaks around 50C (which is still quite good imo). I'm almost tempted to try 8*450 with 1.4V to see if I can get it stable, but I'm not sure if it really is worth it. Btw, I have one of those new TR Ultima 90i in a push/pull setup. It's working great!

That being said, if I stick with this speed, I'm at the point where I need to tighten my RAM timings. It's under-clocked (1066 running @ 880) so I should be able to play around with it a bit.

Then off to OC my 8800GTX.

let me know what values you get for the 8800's... i would like to compare..
