q6600 3.6ghz ep 45dsl help

[wutsup]

hey guys im stable at 3.2ghz with these settings

400x8
cpu vcore 1.325 in bios 1.28 in windows
cpu vtt(termination) 1.28
cpu pll 1.55 (default)
everything else on auto for cpu

mch vcore 1.16
everything else related to northbridge southbridge on auto

memory is ddr2 5 6 6 18 1066 4gb 400 mch latch 2.66D

i tried 1.475 cpu vcore for 3.6ghz (1.41 or so in widows)
1.38 cpu termination
1.55 cpu pll
mch vcore 1.3

but its not stable any help would be nice thanks oh yea and my cpu vid is 1.275

Lsdme is offline for now. Bumping your thread keeps it on page 1, but Lsdme always starts with the oldest recent threads, so bumping it will delay his getting to you.

If you want specific bios suggestions, we need the following.
1) List your system components in your signature.
--> User CP tab (upper left corner of web page)
--> select Edit Signature
--> preview
--> Save when complete
--> Bios version
2) Link to your ram's full specifications.
3) Fill in the generic bios template with your bios settings.
--> Fill in Auto where appropriate.
--> Change ?? values to the displayed settings in your bios, including the values shown in the voltages sections of this template.

Motherboard: Model, Rev#:
Bios version: F??
Cpu: Model
Ram: Brand, Model/Part#, Link to your ram's specs
Power Supply Unit: Brand, Model#, Wattage

Default settings for new setups that are not overclocked.

note: replace all ?? with the value displayed in your bios.
----> where appropriate replace Auto settings with manually set values

Try copying the template and pasting it into a text editing program like Notepad.
Enter your bios settings and save it on your hard drive.
Copy your saved bios settings and paste all the text into the forum "Reply To Thread" box.

When you manually set a value, do not leave "[Auto]" in your posted bios. Make your posted bios look like what you see in your bios.

Detail any errors or problems, such as:
boot error and bios reset
BSOD
windows froze when .....
Prime95 rounding error at 1hour, 34 minutes, thread #2 only

Re: q6600 3.6ghz ep 45dsl help

sorry about the ram OCZ Technology | Products | Memory | OCZ DDR2 PC2-8500 Gold Edition 4GB Dual Channel

ok so i tried your settings except for cpu at 1.36 and my stock ich i/o is 1.55 so i tried 1.57 like you said and my mem voltage is at 2.1(manufacturer specs)

problem: i get a bsod right after the windos vista loading bar
error: 0x00000005(i think thats the right about of 0's)

and is there a reason not to keep the mch strap at 400? is auto more stable?

[profJim]

Re: q6600 3.6ghz ep 45dsl help

The 2.66D memory multiplier uses the 400-strap.
Have you tried some of the different settings I suggested in my previous post?
CPU Vcore --------------- 1.????? ----- : [1.3250] <--- set to 1.4125
CPU Termination --------- 1.200V* ----- : [1.28] <--- set to 1.30 (higher may be needed)

MCH/ICH
MCH Core ---------------- 1.100V ------- : [1.16] <--- higher may be needed, do this last

Most 2x2GB ram runs best with MCH Core set to 1.24 - 1.26, but some ram will only run at or near 1.05 volts. Try increasing this in steps to see if you gain stability.
CPU Vcore might have to be increased to run at 3.60GHz.
CPU Termination is usually set at least 0.05 - 0.10 volts LOWER than CPU Vcore.

Your Q6600 is rated up to 1.50 volts, so you have some room to spare with trying somewhat higher cpu vcore settings.

Error 0x00000005 is an ACCESS VIOLATION and is probably related to incorrect voltage settings.

my 2 cents: I've seen other Q6600 setups at 3.60GHz with very high voltages. My preference is stop well before the point where very high voltages are required. In your case, running nearer to 3.40GHz might provide you with a nice compromise with performance versus high heat/temps. It's your call.

Re: q6600 3.6ghz ep 45dsl help

ok so here are my settings that got me too boot into windows but gets the same bsod instantly in prime 95 small

cpu vcore 1.45 (aorund 1.4 in windows according to cpu z)
cpu term. 1.36

mch vcore 1.24
ich i/o 1.55 (stock setting) do i need to raise this? or can i just leave it on auto

ram voltage 2.1(ocz specification)

[wutsup]

Re: q6600 3.6ghz ep 45dsl help

ok so i tried the same cpu vcore but raised the cpu term. to 1.4 and mch vcore to 1.26 and put ich i/o to auto and kept ram voltage at 2.1

can get into windows but get a different bsod during prime 95 small ftt

ntfs

0x0000050

something wrong with my harddrive?!

EDIT: ran chkdsk no problems, ran the WD extended diagnostic hard drive test, Passed. so it doesn't mean its gonna die on me right?

[profJim]

Re: q6600 3.6ghz ep 45dsl help

Your hard disk is probably OK, I've seen error messages where NTOSKRNL might be corrupt when my bios settings weren't correct. Dropping back to a known stable setup proved that there weren't any problems.

If you're using the 2.66D memory multiplier, this could be part of the problem. Try using the 2.00B or 2.00D multipliers to eliminate your memory as a possible problem.

You're trying to jump to 3.60GHz in one big step. You'll be better off if you can get your system stable at 3.40GHz and then move up in smaller steps.
At 3.40GHz, you have several options:
9 x 378, memory = 2.40B x 378 = 907MHz
9 x 378, memory = 2.66D x 378 = 1008MHz (the D-strap might not work well below 400MHz)
8 x 425, memory = 2.40B x 425 = 1020MHz (this might not work with a 266MHz based processor)

Another approach would be to start with 8 x 400MHz and see how far you can go with 10MHz increases.

Re: q6600 3.6ghz ep 45dsl help

ok so somtimes i can get into windows and run prime but then the last core fails. other times i cant get it too post and it just loops for a little then posts but shows me a warning in the bios. anymore advice sorry im asking so much

EDIT: ok so i tried with these settings
cpu vcore 1.493 something(just one under 1.5) 1.44 in windows
cpu termination 1.44(is that too high)
cpu pll 1.55(stock)

mch vcore 1.4
mch reference auto
ich i/o auto


the last core fails after like 20 seconds.

[Psycho101]

Re: q6600 3.6ghz ep 45dsl help

Have you tried enabling Load Line Calibration? Set Vcore back down to 1.45V and try a prime run with this enabled.
