Since you didn't quote anything here I don't know what you're responding to.
Quote: next time read the first post^^
I did. You didn't say much.
Quote:No it doesn't, not unless you leave the ratio linked, which you shouldn't.
- How can i break that link or whatnot
It's in your bios configuration. I don't have your bios setup in front of me so I don't know what the option is called in your particular bios.
Quote:Depends on the cpu, the cpu settings, and the application.
- First post
Clearly you misunderstood me. I wasn't asking a question, I was making a general statement. Besides even if that were a question your first post still doesn't provide all of the information necessary.
Quote:Don't, memory overclocking is a dumb idea unless you absolutely have to.Black screen? Can you be more specific? Does this happen before POST? During OS boot?
-It's not overclocking since i have 4x1gb ddr2 rams wich are supposed to be working on 1066 with factory settings. They just fail to do so. If i set the dram freq. in the bios to auto it sets them to 800. When manually changed it to 1066 i got a black screen.
Are you sure that the timings are correct?
Are you sure that your motherboard supports ddr2 1066 MHz RAM?
Quote:No.
- Ive read somewhere that if you overclock you'll have to adjust the timigs to looser values. Probably bs than.
If you're overclocking memory then yes you want to adjust your memory timings to be looser. Although that will only get you so far. For cpu overclocking it's not necessary.
Quote:GPUs generally produce a lot more heat and run hotter, I doubt it's poorly made.
- 50C on idle is kind of hot. It gets up to the 80s under heavy load. I'm pretty sure thats too much.
That's perfectly normal for your GPU. When it gets up to 90-100 then you can start to worry.
Modern GPUs go even higher. For example a GTX 590 hits 125 C at full load and that's considered a safe temperature for it. As electrical components get smaller they generally become more tolerant of heat. There are also specific manufacturing changes that can be done to increase the heat tolerance of the chip. Lower voltages also allow the chip to operate at higher temperatures. And then of course there is the architecture of the chip itself.
Quote:Well no offense but you must not have looked very hard. Simply typing "e6850 overclock" into google nets you dozens of results of settings used by people to achieve stable overclocks on that exact chip along with detailed overclocking guides showing how to increase fsb frequency and voltages on various motherboards.
You're going to find more people who are "familiar with these older core 2 duos" via a google search than on these forums I can promise you that.
- All i've seen was some youtube links where 10 year old monkeys deep fry their cpu's or just generic suggestions.
Well then I don't know what the hell you did but you need to work on your google skills. "e6850 overclock", "e6850 overclocking", "e6850 bios", "LGA775 overclock", "LGA775 overclocking", etc. would all give you the results that you're looking for, especially the first two.
