CPUZ (1.42) says that my multiplier is 6 and my Core Speed = 1598.5. I thought that the quad ran using a 9x multiplier. Although there should be a CPU clock multiplier option in the BIOS, it's not there !! (I've mailed Biostar to ask why). Mobo is a P4M900-M7 SE (says on the box) altho CPUZ reads it as P4M90-M7A.<br /> <br /> I've touched nothing in the BIOS as yet. Bit of a disappointment - not that much better than my old Athlon 3000! <br /> <br /> No experience of Biostar - usually go for ASUS. Was a good deal - at least I thought it was!<br /> <br /> Regards, Brian <br /> <br /> text/html 2007-10-31T18:03:54-05:00 r0ckstar 1904 http://www.hardwareanalysis.com/content/topic/68309/?o=40#516686 i just overclocked my q6600 go stepping to a very low 3ghz also by upping the front side bus to 333mhz and unlinking the ram/fsb, thats all i did and its stable i think im new to overclocking i hit around 38 - 40 c at idle between all cores and around 51 - 60 c at max on stock fan. text/html 2007-09-08T00:55:18-05:00 CrAsHnBuRnXp http://www.hardwareanalysis.com/content/topic/68309/?o=40#509114 Tam-the-Bam said: <div class="quote"><br /> Does it fluctuate bewteen 3000MHz and 2000MHz?

This is an option to relieve the OC stress on CPU<br /> when your on Desktop, or puter sitting idle. Disable that in BIOS.<br /> <br /> Tam.....<br /> </div><br /> It does not. In fact, it will drop to 1999.x for a brief second (if that) then shoot back up to 2000MHz. <br /> <br /> I disabled the C1E option and its a no go. Ive tried firing up Prime95 and running CPUz at the same time and it doesnt even jump. <br /> text/html 2007-09-07T23:43:53-05:00 TamTheBam http://www.hardwareanalysis.com/content/topic/68309/?o=40#509110 <br /> Does it fluctuate bewteen 3000MHz and 2000MHz?

Any idea as to how I can rectify this?<br /> <br /> <a class="ext" href="/action/r/http://img406.imageshack.us/img406/76/cpuzeq9.jpg" target="_blank">http://img406.imageshack.us/img406/76/cpuzeq9.jpg</a> text/html 2007-09-07T12:11:00-05:00 vulcan raven http://www.hardwareanalysis.com/content/topic/68309/?o=40#509052 you do realise the P5NE sli adjust voltage automatically up to a certain point when overclocking. if you ran it 3.2ghz, its likely the board bumped the voltage a little without you knowing it. mine will run auto volts up to 3.5ghz, then i need to override if i want to go further and set it manually text/html 2007-09-07T11:59:30-05:00 GtoX (capt Guns) http://www.hardwareanalysis.com/content/topic/68309/?o=40#509048 well mark, im on the road to overclocking just like u are, the q6600 was more tricky overclocking than my E6600 where i didnt have to change the voltages at all.. text/html 2007-08-30T01:34:29-05:00 CrAsHnBuRnXp http://www.hardwareanalysis.com/content/topic/68309/?o=40#507728 G.

My pump's not been working properly. I got inside the pute last night and<br /> the tubes were boiling! The cpu block was hot as hell. I think the power to the board came<br /> loose. It's workin now. Temps are in 30's (all cores) and priming now. Jeez! What a freak<br /> out!<br /> <br /> text/html 2007-08-29T04:42:51-05:00 CrAsHnBuRnXp http://www.hardwareanalysis.com/content/topic/68309/?o=20#507536 Well, I overclocked the CPU to 3Ghz with DDR2 1000 at 5 5 5 15 and I can do Super PI in 17 seconds, temps idle are still around 50C believe it or not, in game with BioShock, temps are 60C. I even overclocked my video card, and now I get twice as many FPS in BioShock. Quite nice. <br /> <br /> I started to Prime the system, but temps were in the 70's. Kinda got scared and I didnt want to leave it like that for 12 hrs or so. I may not even prime it so long as I dont get any BSOD's, freezes, and the like. <br /> <br /> Maybe tomorrow, Ill try putting the AS5 on the way that link suggests. text/html 2007-08-29T02:41:12-05:00 Mothow http://www.hardwareanalysis.com/content/topic/68309/?o=20#507523 Try the way as5 shows.It might help.I always us a very tiny bit of paste.And i usally have pretty good temps. text/html 2007-08-29T02:11:19-05:00 CrAsHnBuRnXp http://www.hardwareanalysis.com/content/topic/68309/?o=20#507519 Nah. I just used a bit more than normal when using a dual or single core CPU. If I have to redo it, I will. No biggie. To be honest, it never even entered my mind that with it being a quad core, AS5 application may be different. <br /> <br /> Right now, I am at a very crap OC. Im at 3Ghz, but my RAM is UNDERclocked. Temp is about 50C idle. text/html 2007-08-29T01:06:43-05:00 Mothow http://www.hardwareanalysis.com/content/topic/68309/?o=20#507508 Well maybe after the thermal patse settles you'll see some improvement.And are they idle temps you can expect similar temps but what about at 100% load? Are you applying your as5 like this<br /> <a class="ext" href="/action/r/http://www.arcticsilver.com/pdf/appinstruct/as5/ins_as5_intel_quad_wcap.pdf" target="_blank">http://www.arcticsilver.com/pdf/appinstruct/as5/ins_as5_intel_quad_wcap.pdf</a>
