Intel 6320 overclock

[dnar]

Hey, thought I would dust off the OC forum!

Picked up an Intel 6320 the other day, 2x1GB stick of Kingston PC2-8500 (http://www.valueram.com/datasheets/KHX8500D2_1G.pdf) and a Gigabyte GA-965P-DS3P (Rev 3.3) board.

Straight off the bat I wound up the CPU from 1.86Ghz to 2.45Ghz, 7 times multiplier with FSB from 266 to 350Mhz.

Memory is running 3x multi, 1050Mhz.

It's passed the hardest of burn in tests, core tems no higher than 62c (144F). Stock heatsink, excellent case cooling (120mm rear fan).

I read these 6320 can do 2.8Ghz with stock cooling, well over 3Ghz with good cooling. I would be happy with 2.8Ghz, but whats the best thing to do with memory speed. I am not familiar how these current Intels work. If CPU FSB is 350, and my memory multi is 3x providing 1050 (memory rated to 1066) what is the real memory FSB?

Anyone have good overclock with similar CPU to share? :norty:

With PC2-8500 you should have no problem pushing the FSB much further. Up the voltage on the RAM to 2.2v and you'll easily hit 450 FSB before you need to change the fsb/ram ratio.

I've not played with any of the new Intels but there are loads of good guides to OC'ing a Core2Duo.

Thanks Mike. Will have a good today (its my office PC lol).

BTW, with a Seagate SATAII 16MB drive, this machine simple hauls asse!

man I am wicked jealous. I wanted to get a new desktop but can't justify the expense when the current Barton 2500 mobile does all I need it to.
