How to Overclock E6750?
Hello, I need to boost my E6750 to 3.4 GHz. Here are the details:
Mobo: P35-DS3 rev 2.1
PSU: Around 350W, no label, unknown model
CPU: E6750
GPU: GT 730 ASUS 2 GB GDDR5 Kepler Arch.
RAM: Two 333 MHz Kingston modules and two 400 MHz PQ1 CORP RAM sticks
Cooler: Aigo Ice200PRO (temperatures stay under 30°C in BIOS)
Please assist with configuring the settings so I don’t damage my motherboard. Thanks!
If you need further clarification on specifications, just let me know.
Thanks to my friend for the helpful tags.
You might begin by searching the forums. This post appears as the fourth result on Google; Overclocking my Intel Core 2 Duo E6750? I’ve been searching forums for guidance on overclocking my CPU. I’m encountering confusion with the terminology and how to use Prime95, which is completely unfamiliar to me. forums. Power Supply: A 350W unit without labels, unknown model number. Are you really risking the entire system? Remember to ensure sufficient power for the full build and additional capacity during overclocking. Also, didn’t you specify the PSU make and model and its age? If it’s second-hand, overclocking might not be advisable. RAM: Two 333 MHz Kingston units and two 400 MHz GB PQ1 CORP RAM modules. Consider upgrading to a dedicated RAM kit to avoid instability problems. Make sure your motherboard’s BIOS is up to date before attempting an overclock.
Using those components means the DDR2-667 stick will be the result. The remaining parts should work fine for regular 400 FSB, probably even with undervolting. The excitement really builds once you reach that level. 400 FSB is achievable by almost every 333 FSB Core 2. I own a pair of Corsair Value DDR2-800 chips that can handle 880 with CL5 and 946 with CL6, which covers 473 FSB and lets my old E8400 run at 4.2 GHz.
