Yeah start high, then lower it if it doesnt work, compared to everyone else that starts small and works their way up!!!
Sorry, I didnt just sound like theonejrs there did I... LOL :)

Those who know their way around Gigabyte boards or 65nm quad overclocking, I'd very gladly appreciate some tips! :)
Your motherboard has a bunch more adjustments on it than mine has to begin with. It has a fairly comprehensive bios in it, so you can fine tune it a bit more!
Happy Computering,

I don't think it's that! I think it's more of his circumstances than anything. He needs to be a bit conservative as he "needs" the computer! for school. While he could work around potential troubles by having to use his laptop, Laptops are far from an ideal daily computer. They are quite good today, but you are still somewhat limited in what you can do with them compared to a fast desktop with great graphics.
I think this is the first opportunity Sam has had to get more into overclocking! I'm personally going to throttle the first person that suggests to him to just set his Q6600 to 3.6GHz. The automatic settings in the bios are all hardware, not software and they are surprisingly good. I was able to get my E4300 to 3.0GHz using them, just for grins, when I first built it. I wanted to see how well they worked. You can also modify any of the adjustments after you've set the automatics, so they're still tweakable!
Happy Computering,
Russ

When I first got my P35C-DS3R, I put my E4300 straight at 3Ghz, without trying anything in between. After realising I'd forgotten to set the memory multiplier, it worked like a charm. A day or two's testing at 3 gigs sent me straight to the 3.15 I've been using up until this week when I moved to 3.2Ghz. When I made the transition to the X38-DS4 I put it at 3.15 without a care in the world 'I'll see if it works' I thought to myself, and it did! Fine tuning is all well and good, but when I could get results like that in mere seconds, I didn't see the need!

I'm only posts away from AD Addict. lol. BUT I've tried like heck to keep from doing that, you know the worthless posting like we've just seen. hehehe. :P
Russ and Sammy,
The upper end mobos from what I can tell have many more features than the lower end mobos do. ;) I know that my GB P35-DS3P has more than the DS3R model. lol.
Sammy,
You liking the X38-DS4? It seems pretty good and I'm sure that you'll have plenty of settings to learn about. ROFL.. :P

i know there's a mod for Celeron's that have a 400mhz fsb and you can clip off a pin to get 533mhz (similar to the laptop mod)
but if its a 533mhz fsb / 800mhz fsb cpu, then no, there's no mod
if its a 400mhz fsb celeron, let me know and i will post the pic of the mod...

Not everyone needs or wants every last MIP! Especially considering that heat is the determining factor in the useful life of a CPU. It's like Radiation! It's cumulative! You could run an 80% OC for a couple of years, and then stick it in something for you Mom or Dad at stock speeds and the cause of death when it eventually dies will be still be cumulative heat!

1.8 to 3.2? You're surely not questioning that?
2.4 to 3.6 is still substantial, with a quad.

With some overclockers, they want the best possible overclock they can get. I think it's an ego thing! I've always said, "how fast is fast"! I mean there's a motherboard Sophocles mentioned that has a dry ice chamber for running benchmarks at wild speeds. You can't make any use of it as a computer, so you gain nothing but a puffed up chest!
I'm seriously thinking about doing an AMD Phenom Quad build next! The high end 9850 2.5GHZ Black Edition is now under $200, and overclocks from about 3.0 to 3.2gHz. You can also get the 2.6GHz version, but it doesn't OC any better so why spend the extra money. I love the modern socket AM2 4800+ 64x2 I have now. It's the first computer I've used that doesn't leave me longing for more speed. And it's as bone stock as you can get! Mind you I'm comparing it to my everyday E6750/DS3R that's overclocked about 900MHz at 3.55GHz and 1GHz faster than the 4800+!
One of these CPUs: http://www.newegg.com/Product/Product.aspx?Item=N82E16819103249 On one of these motherboards: http://www.newegg.com/Product/Product.aspx?Item=N82E16813128335 will set you back less than $300, and you're getting HD 3200 Graphics on board, DVI to DVI! Invest in a Freezer 64 and 4GB of DDR2/800 ram and you're still under $400. Pretty good value if you ask me!
Happy Computering,
Russ
