Overclocking Question

[DR650SE]

You might need to increase by a larger margin. Go to 1300FSB or so. Don't adjust by one, or two MHz. I would start by increasing it by 200 MHz.

Thanks. I will try it right now.

[picardsm]

That worked. Thanks!
How do I check what the current clock is?

[picardsm]

Nevermind. I am using CPU-Z
Core Speed 3087.3

[DR650SE]

She's still got some in her, go up to a 1280 FSB. Thats where I ran my QX9300. Might still be stable at that FSB. What temps are you getting?

[picardsm]

I am at 1300 FSB
core speed 3087.4
Multiplier x 9.5
HWMonitor is showing 30C & 31C at idle. +/- 2C

[DR650SE]

Your plenty fine. I forgot that you can't play with the multiplier. On an extreme CPU such as the QX9300 you can change the multiplier. Try going up to 1320 or 1330. I would keep increasing by 10 or so until you get unstable. Then run something like intel burn test or OCCT to stress test the CPU. If you do that while running HWMonitor you should get an idea of how hot the CPU will get under 100% load.

Nice! Thanks for your help!!

[DR650SE]

No prob.

Test 1 w/Intel Burn Test
FSB@1300 core speed@3087
Time 4.47 minutes
Max Temps;
core0: 65C
core1: 66C
ACPI: 77C
