So AMAZING! :D cant wait for that version of the screen shot posted above to be released :D

(Gasp!) :cry: i forgot to use driver cleaner! will i run into any probs? i uninstalled it using the device manager.

ok thanks for the clarification :)

are these the lines your talking about? its not the trees though its just the land has these wierd lines from north to south....bug?

Sweeet!!! downloading now! great work :D

so many of em!! have we really seen them all?

LOL thanks. cant wait for my squad mate to see it. hasnt yet :P he's in for a laugh. LOL

this is for my squad mate named Dozer :)

wow :) thanks for sharing. :D that was a really cool story man :D

Working great! :) ran prime, passed all tests, next up memtest and gaming :P

working great so far :) thanks... i guess i was just to high with my voltages.

Ok i'm using Kuky's settings and... WOW i'm passing all tests and seems very stable.... but not saying good to go yet, time to do some stress testing.

Also... Kuky for your settings there what is your fsb at for those settings? are they for 3ghtz processor?

Nice ones :)

yea man but i dunno... i really think the ram is fine. when i get home i'll do a memtest on my ram without overclocking to see if there is a problem. if not i'm guessing its the Dll

k thanks Kuky :) i'll give er a try

Hey Fudd i got a blue screen... defiantly ATI! it says that there is a problem with this .DLL i took a picture with my cell phone but i'm tired so i'll upload it tomorrow. the culprit - ati3duag.dll darn ATI, what do you think it is? or do you need more stuff from the blue screen? i'll upload pictures tomorrow, i'm back at stock speeds for now. freakin wierd things happening :P

ok i got some re-starts, but i forgot to take it back off of automatic restart so i'm doing that now and i'm going to re create the situation to see what the error says.

Thanks for all your help guys... it was me not disabling the "execute Disable Bit" is what done it.. it works now.. i'll be doing alot of tests with prime 95 and some tweaks of voltages and stuff but for right now it seems very stable. thank you so much guys :D works now

WOW thats great. :D

(many swear words insert here...) i am doing everything that that tutorial says. :cry::cry::cry::cry:

This is the guide i'm following.... Also... what is MCH voltage? never messed with that. i'm not overclocking now ofcourse since its imfreakingpossible for me to at the moment but i think it was 333mhz to get to 3ghtz for my processor The settings in this guide will assume the user has adequate cooling for their processor. And uses one of the following recommended motherboard: -abit AW9D series (975X) -ASUS P5W DH series (975X) -DFI Infinity or LANParty 975X/G -abit AB9 series -ASUS P5B* Deluxe/WiFi-AP (965P) -Gigabyte 965P-DS3 or DS4 or DQ6 *P5B vanilla is not recommended **nForce590/570 Intel Edition based motherboard will not work with this guide nor recommended for overclocking** Recommended cooling: -Scythe Infinity -Scythe Ninja Plus -Scythe Mine -Tuniq Tower 120 -Thermalright Ultra-120 or SI-128 or SI-120 -Noctua NH-U12 -Thermaltake Big Typhoon -Arctic Cooling Freezer 7 Pro -Zalman CNPS CNPS9500AT -Zalman CNPS 7700AlCu or 7700Cu (The first 7 heatsinks listed here will allow you to clock beyond 3.4Ghz stable) Please also use RAM that’s rated: -DDR2-667 4-4-4-xx (good for ~400Mhz*) -DDR2-800 5-5-5-xx (good for ~410Mhz*) -DDR2-800 4-4-4-xx (good for 500Mhz+*) ->Best for E6300/E6400 -DDR2-1066 5-5-5-xx (good for 530Mhz+*) -Or any other RAM of the above mentioned speed that has even lower timings *refer to Part2 for maximum Mhz extraction under 1:1 operation The aim of this guide is to reach as close to 4Ghz (final clockspeed) as possible Part1. Tidying Up Your BIOS (not all BIOS may have those options) *You must update your BIOS to the latest version before proceeding* 1. Disable ‘AI Tuning’ for ASUS, ‘C.I.A.2’ for Gigabyte 2. Set PCI Express (PCIe) frequency @100Mhz (‘Auto’ for DS3/DS4/DQ6) 3. Set PCI frequency @33Mhz 4. Disable Hyperpath 3 (for P5W DH only) 5. Disable any ‘spread spectrum’ 6. Disable Q-Fan (for ASUS only) 7. Disable ‘Limit CPUID Max to 3’ 8. Disable any overvoltage protection 9. Disable ‘C1E’ 10. Disable ‘EIST’ 11. Disable Virtualization Technology 12. Disable No-Execute Memory Protect 13. Disable any other thing you don’t use 14. Do not enable any speed enhancements you see The purpose here is to lighten up duties placed on the chipset Part2. Memory Adjustments **Expand options for Gigabyte BIOS under ‘M.I.T.’ by pressing CTRL+F1** Gigabyte: Set ‘Memory Multiplier’ to 2 (1FSB:1RAM operation) ASUS: Set ‘DRAM Frequency’ to DDR2-533 @266Mhz FSB (1FSB:1RAM operation) As you increase the FSB, the RAM will follow in the pattern of 1:1 shown in BIOS. 1. Set ‘DRAM Timing’ to manual or disable SPD (use SPD for P5W DH) 2. In BIOS you will see 4 separate timing digits, change them to the ones specified on your RAM e.g. 4-4-4-12 CAS# Latency (tCL) RAS# to CAS# Delay (tRCD) RAS# Precharge (tRP) RAS# Precharge Delay or Active to Precharge (tRAS) When 1FSB:1RAM is overclocked above the rated frequency of your RAM use the following values Timing: 5-5-5-15 vDIMM: 2.2V e.g. DDR2-667 4-4-4-12 1.9V operating at ~400Mhz will need to be set to 5-5-5-15 2.2V 3. Leave the rest of other timings either at ‘Auto’ or at their default values Part3. Voltage (again not all BIOS will have the option or uses different name) ***The following voltages are to be used with Part4*** 1. Set DRAM/DIMM Voltage (vDIMM) to 2.1V or 2.2V if specified by RAM (+0.3V or +0.4V) 2. Set MCH Voltage (vMCH) to 1.55V 3. Set FSB Voltage (vFSB) to 1.40V 4. Increase SB Voltage (vICH) by +0.1V from default-lowest value 5. Set CPU Voltage (vCore) for the following CPU E6300=1.370V E6400=1.375V E6600=1.400V E6700=1.400V X6800=1.400V Part4. Frequency Control First attempt: 1. Set CPU Host Clock/Frequency (FSB) to 333Mhz (300Mhz for X6800) 2. Set CPU Clock Ratio or Multiplier to the default value for your processor E6300-> 333x7=2331 E6400-> 333x8=2664 E6600-> 333x9=2997 E6700-> 333x10=3330 X6800-> 310x11=3410 3. Save settings and reboot Further attempts: 1. Up even more FSB by 5Mhz or 2Mhz increasement 2. Calculate your final clockspeed 3. Up even more vCore if needed by 0.025V increasement Part5. Stability Testing You will need the following programs: - CPU-Z - Prime95 - Memtest86+ - Core Temp - SpeedFan 1. Fire up CPU-Z and keep it running in the background to monitor clock speed 2. Fire up Core Temp to monitor temperature 3. Fire up SpeedFan to monitor voltages 3. Run dual instances of Prime95 in torture mode for 2 hours 4. (Optional) Run Memtest86+ for 2hrs 5. If stable go to Part4-Further Attempts, if not go back to last stable frequency 6. Once you’re happy with the settings proceed to the final part Note1: The higher the final clock speed, the lower the temperature for CPU has to be to maintain stableness Note2: Delta of Idle-Load reported by Core Temp should not exceed by 26°C Note3: vCore should not fluctuate by more than +/- 0.100V. If it does, improve cooling on MOSFETs Note4: If an attempt fails and the computer doesn’t boot, hold down ‘Insert’ key when booting to restore default settings in BIOS Part6. Finalising -Lower vCore by one notch at a time until lowest possible while maintaining the same stableness -Do the same for vMCH, vFSB, vICH after the above step is completed -Record the BIOS settings which works (except DFI and ASUS owners) -(Optional) Pull off a PCMark and/or SuperPi32M score and compare to stock to gauge performance increase.

hmmm. i updated bios but i'm still getting restarts..... but now when i updated bios it loads into windows and i get an "Catalyst control center Monitoring program error and needs to close" no idea what that is but after i hit end my screen goes to S*#T :helpsmilie: My Co washout says its a PCI express frequency something? but its at default in bios. and when i overclock i go to 100 like the tutorials show me :(

man this is insane progress! you must work on this 24/7 :) incredible!

I had that game! i played it when i was 5 :D good times
