Undoubtedly we could have reached higher frequencies with more elaborate cooling, but we were more interested in the bare minimum of what was attainable - and we weren't disappointed. Our E was a bit more successful, reaching 2. Both CPUs were totally stable when overclocked and were able to complete our multiple days of benchmarking without behaving any less stable than when clocked at their default frequencies.
Overclocking Overclocking lower end CPUs is always more fun if you're actually buying these things because, as long as the manufacturing process is mature and your component selection is sound, you're usually able to reach much higher speeds than you paid for - an ever rewarding achievement.
Our E was able to reach 2. This is true even if you have a very fast processor. It is, in fact, the bottom end of the Core 2 Duo line. Why start at the bottom?
Why indeed. Let me show you. Yes, it is true that the E has 4M of cache, but other than that, the clock speeds are very similar indeed. Just stick with me for the moment. And all this with the stock fan. How do I know this? What you need to be aware of before doing this are three things. Most importantly, you have got to be aware of the temperature of your chip. This is why you need SpeedFan or something like it.
According to at least one page , the maximum cover temperature of the E in fact, most of the Conroe chips is Get some cooler air in the case. Many of you may have a desk with a compartment for a computer. Think about it. Swap out the stock fan. Is this completely necessary? It depends. If you want to bump up the speed a little, no. I changed the processor from a 1.
The 2. This cooler, despite not being well-liked, was recently rated well in one of the largest cooler roundups for the Core2Duo chip. You will want to make absolutely sure that your new speed is stable. Just reset your BIOS and try something different. Enter Prime The software is actually designed to crunch prime numbers, but has found a sweet spot for those who like to see if their systems are stable, which is perfect for this process. I typically do that, but then let it run overnight.
Keep bumping it until either it gets unstable or the temps get too high. I have my running at almost 3. Joined May 4, Messages 0.
That motherboard is not going to be overclocking friendly. Intel boards in genereal are not very overclocking friendly. You are almost certainly going to have to do some hard modificatins to that board to get it to cooperate, and I would expect limited to no overclocking options in bios. Also, most MATX based boards are not meant for overclocking. The chipset is the economy version and won't allow a high FSB as well.
Software will probably be your only way to overclock, but that chipset is new and most if not all programs are not going to work with it. You need to find FSB and voltage controls in bios.
If there are none, you are more than likely out of luck as to overclocking. Joined Dec 6, Messages 10, 1. It looks like the "Burn In" screen allows you to up the FSB by a "percentage" rather then specifiying a speed value. That's the only screen that looked like it had any promise. Also explore any other corners of the BIOS.
Some intel boards BX have "hidden" overclocking features only unlocked through minor mods - I am completely unfamiliar with your board. And welcome to TPU. BigBadWolf Thanks buddy, i'm so glad to be here. TPU is plenty of very kind people. Just as Sasqui says two post down. If you feel like it, please go to this links, so that you can analyze it. Once i find the FSB setting, i will try going up to mhz and test it with a run a burn in program.
Please keep in touch…. A little research so far has found me this quote: "The DGZIS is the cheapest of the group, so it would be my most obvious choice. However, upon reviewing the chipset comparison, I notice that the system bus maxes out at MHz;" The above quote tells me there is a way to up the FSB However, from what I have been able to find so far, it would seem the this board only changes the FSB according to the ram it detects.
That is only what I surmise from reading a few things at the Intel site. Is there a way you can manually change the RAM speed? Any other timings or voltages above 1. Several examples of currently available channel memory marketed as DDR with timings have been evaluated and found to have incorrectly programmed Serial Presence Detect SPD devices.
Correctly programmed SPD device data is necessary for proper chipset operation. In the worst case the system will neither POST nor boot.

B1lk1, when i decided about 3 weeks ago to buy a new PC, the best option i got here in Venezuela was an Intel Pentium D 3. Suddenly the E appeared in the market, but there were not too many boards to choose.
