overclocking my q9300- help needed

[philbar71]

mch frequency latch? what does that mean. i was just scrolling through the bios and i saw that. i will try a 2.000d strap.

cpu clock drive?
cpu and mch clock skew?
sorry for all the questions but it feels like i need a engineering degree to overclock this thing.

 

[Evolv]

Ha, um I have no clue what that stuff is. Check out your motherboards manual maybe?

 

[Peter.Cort]

the manual won't offer much help. The mch you'll wanna up a little bit to get it more stable.

yhea been reading up on this stuff. the mobo manual is really help full actually. been playing around with the settings and i have gotten to 440fsb. i still want to push more but it will take me more time.

 

[Da Viksta]

well your CPU should be able to hit around 480FSB without a hitch, maybe more with a little extra voltage so it should be fine CPU wise...

 

[philbar71]

well i dont want to go past 1.35, that's what it's at now.

 

[Evolv]

Nice, at least you got to 440fsb. I'd say play around with the DDR3 timings and voltage.

 

[philbar71]

i think i am going to try to run them at the stock timings and upp the voltages a bit. also try to keep it as close to the stock freq as possible.

 

[BongWizard]

you'll probably wanna stick more voltage on the core (just for higher benchmarking runs and stuff)... i've got 3.6GHz with 1.3825V on the core, 2.02V on the DIMMs and 1.32V across the MCH... you'll have to play alot with the timings to get FSBs higher than about 460MHz

 

[philbar71]

what's the highest fsb you got bong? i think i'll try 1.45 no higher. i'll update yall later on 2nite or 2morrow with super pi runs.
