E6300 + Ga-965p-ds3
I just put together a new system with the specs below and I would like to do a slight over clock. Because I am doing graduate work and working full time, I don't have any time to mess with settings. Can someone give me a recommendation on what to try so that I can just make a change and be done with it until I get some more time?
Thanks E6300 GA-965P-DS3 Corsair 667 Value Ram Stock Cooling for now

read madhyena's overclocking guide which can be found here http://www.devhardware.com/forums/c...ting-97163.html its a great resource and should serve you well.

I can give you the basics of what you need to do but in the end you are going to be the determining the end result of your overclock through tweaking and stress testing. First of all you will need to Disable C.I.A.2.Set PCI frequency @33Mhz and set your PCI-e frequency to 100MHz. Disable the following in your Bios.
Next you need to set your ram to a 1/1 ratio.Expand options in your BIOS under ‘M.I.T.’ by pressing CTRL+F1 Now that your chipset has a lighter load and your ram is set to a 1/1 ratio you can begin to overclock with raising your FSB.As for a mild overclock,only you really know what that speed is and need to stress test it with Prime 95 once you get to the desired speed you are looking for. There are many,many more factors that can be tweaked such as your vCore,MCHv,vDimm and vICH.E6300's tend to do well with FSB scaling on stock voltages as you can see from jakal04 here link Your ram being rated at 667MHz and being value ram could be a contributing factor in you OC when you go beyond it's rated speeds.(In other words,if you go past 333MHz on your FSB you will have exceeded the the rated speed of your ram) MemTest is a great tool for checking errors with your ram.Great test to see how your ram is holding up when OCing.(It's Madhyena One thing that I would like to know is what PSU are you using?The quality of your power supply unit will ultimately outweigh all other hardware in your computer.If you do not have enough power or stable rails then you will not be able to carry a stable overclock. Fluctuating voltages can be a CPU's worst enemy when overclocked.I could also get into memory timings but I will let you find out about tightening and loose timings and how they can help or hinder your computer's performance for me. I suggest that even though you don't have the time to learn due to the obligations and time restraints that you at least wait till you have a better understanding and actually have the time to stress test and tweak your OC to make sure that your computer is rock stable.Going through your Bios and setting everything that you read from a guide will only set you up to fail in the long run.All CPU's overclock different and while there can be a centralized starting point to it,the process as a whole becomes very owner specific based on knowledge, patience,hardware and a little luck In the the end,the biggest factor in failed overclocks and damaged hardware result in lack of knowledge of the user. There is no point in doing any of this with out taking the time to understanding what you are doing, especially if this is your main computer.There is a wealth of information and a great place to start is here Link Read up and when you do get the time post some screen shots of your OC and with a SuperPi 1M bench and if you have any questions just post them!Good luck

Thanks for th pointers. I just upped it a little. I set the Corsair Value 667 to 5-5-5-15 (rated for this), should it be that or should it be 5-5-5-12? The FSB is at 333 and I am using stock cooling. Should I be alright, no risk in getting too hot in this mode? The CPU is showing 47 degrees idle right now. I didn't change the voltages at all.

This may help with responses, I noticed the temps differed between programs. Ideally, I want to get to 2.8 Ghz, that would be 7 x 400 right? Should I try that without a voltage change? Do the timings on the memory need to be changed for that?
http:// i4.photobucket.com/albums/y150/Yaemish/temps.jpg remove the space to see the picture. * I just set it back to stock because my temps were too high, I think I had set the voltage too high for my processor. Should I need to change anything outside of the memory timings? Do I need to change the voltage on the memory?

hey
u got the same system just like mine i tried mine yesterday... 420*7=2940 for cpu and ram 1:1 timing 5-5-5-15 at 420mhz..but add 0.1v pretty stable...but i think it can go up even more..i dunt think that's the limited... everything is stock..i didnt get a aftermarket fan or something and i set my fan to the max..temp isnt very high i think u can set it to 333*7=2331 and ram 1:1....running at 333 too temp will be a little bit higher..like 2 degree... u can try that

*major bump* Hey all, I have the exact same motherboard (GA-965P DS3) and processor (E6300), and my ram is Corsair XMS2 2x1GB PC6400 DDR2-800 @5-5-5-18. Once I change all of those settings, my system boots up fine, but when I change my FSB (even to 300) it will not boot up at all (I don't even see the Gigabyte Post screen). What might I be doing wrong? I've followed this guide 2-3 times, and no matter what, nothing seems to be working! Thanks in advance..

Put the voltage up a bit.

a bit of experience here:
I have a GA-965P-DS3 (Rev 3.1 I think) I have tried to OC with an E6600, E6300, E6400 and E2140 and usually hit around +200-400Mhz before the board would lock up, even with lowered memory multipliers... also another thing, this board maxes out at DDR2-800 except a few specific and listed models on the Gigabyte website. Right now I have this board as the wife's PC with the E2140 and DDR2-800. The exact same processors on my GA-EP35-DS3P board OC like a champ. I usually have my E6600 (stock 2.4GHz) around 3.0GHz but can go higher if I want (but I also have DDR2-1066)... I am hoping to jump into an E8400 to get around 3.8-4GHz. One major thing that will be a roadblock for you is that DDR2-667.
