Overclocking a Core 2 Duo e6750

[ntcc45]

Hi everyone! my pc has a c2d e6750 that had a clockspeed of 2.66ghz but is now @3.04ghz. Is it possible to push it further without damage? and yes, i cant replace it. mainly becuase i have no cash and im just attached to my first pc

 

thanks all

Ithink you can bsel mod the cpu. You just need to put a piece of tape on one of the pins.

If you cannot replace it, you'll want to be gentle with it.

Clockspeed doesn't break CPU's, Voltage, Heat, and Current do.

 

What voltage are you running, How hot does it get, and if the motherboard reports it, how much power is it using?

I should mention. I had a quad q6600, and it was perfectil stable, at 3ghz. A bsel mod on yours should put it at 3.33 ghz, if it works on your cpu.

This CPU is already a 1333 MT/s bus. It cannot be tape modded this way, but 1600 MT/s is possible if we find the right pin.

i wasnt sure. not familiar with the duo line. I know more about the quad line.

im rather certain that my psu is 500w (its a server board and psu) and ive havent checked its heat yet but i will soon

thanks so much for replying!

I use HWiNFO to check these measurements. Make sure you have the system in a stress-test like Prime95 when you measure it.

So digging a little further, I've found that 333 MHz to 400 MHz is possible (1333 to 1600 MT/s), outlined here:

I'm not sure exactly how OP is overclocking, normally this would push the system to 3.2 GHz.

 

Depending on the motherboard, it would seem the FSB, (or BCLK if it exists?) has been raised by a non-standard amount, and or additional mutliplier has been added.

If the BIOS allows you to adjust the front side bus (FSB) speed, set it to 400 MHz instead of 333 MHz. This will bring you up to 3200 MHz. (400 MHz x 8.0)

 

When overclocking these CPUs, the key is to also adjust the memory multiplier in the BIOS so your memory does not run way out of spec. If you can get 400 MHz stable then keep bumping that up. These CPUs have no problem at 425 MHz x 8.0 (3400 MHz) as long as the motherboard and chipset are decent. Post some CPU-Z screenshots that show this info if you want some more help.

 

With a good motherboard, there is no need for a BSEL or pin mod.

 

Some motherboards from this era allowed setting the Bus Speed sky high. It all depends on the chipset.
