[towncarblue]

i just got a p5k-e mobo to replace my old asus p5w dh deluxe mobo. i got a e6600 cpu. i want to OC my cpu to 3.6 ghz - 4.0 ghz. this new mobo has some settings that i had to deal with that i never seen before. can someone please post settings so that i can get my cpu to 3.6ghz?

i set the fsb to 400 and voltage to 1.4v[cpu] . the system turns on but when i use orthos to test, the temp stays at 48*c then the system resets [in about 2 min]

More core voltage, Also the motherboard may be under volting. ( allot of ASUS boards do.)

what you using to measure the core temp?

[towncarblue]

i use a program called 'core temp'
i have a e6600 but these directions are for a e6750. are they the same? are they supposed to work with my e6600?

Core temp is a good program to read your temps.So you're OK there

Over clocking is not guaranteed with any particular settings, its up to you to find the limits/requirements of your components.

I suggest you read some of the stickies to give you some more back round information.

The rest of your system specs would also be helpful plus the settings for memory you are trying to use.

when i had the cpu [e6600] in an p5w dh deluxe it went up to 4.0ghz [never tried any higher because the memory suffered].

system specs:
e6600
evga 7950gt
thermaltake toughpower 750W
OCZ platinum rev2 ddr2 400mhz @ 4-4-4-15 [2.1v]

Additional Comment:

i need a program to test my overclocking that gives simpler reasons why an overclocking attempt failed. im using ORTHOS right now and i keep passing the
'stress cpu with gromacs core' but im failing the ' small FFTs- stress cpu ' test.
and for some reason i keep failing the ram tests.
i got the cpu fsb at 400
i got the cpu voltage at 1.48v
i maxed the fsb voltage and the northbridge voltage

Orthos RAM tests ??? you mean BLEND/large FFT`s? as both still stress the CPU during these tests too.

To find out if it is the ram causing the errors return the board back to stock. Set the memory to the specified settings in the bios.
Then run memtest overnight. http://www.memtest86.com/ This way your know you ram is good for what it says it is.

It's step by step on how to oc Q6600 on P5K boards. I found it extrememly helpful in overclocking my E6750 on this board.

its a dead link

Funny...I just clicked on it and it took me right to link
Go to http://www.clunk.org.uk and follow links for overclocking P5K board. Go to the forums for that information.

if it still doesn't work, go to a command prompt and fllush your dns cache by typing: ipconfig /flushdns - once thats done, restart your browser and it should work.
