Thread: AMD Phenom ii X vi 1055T Hexa Core Processor

This will be the 3rd and last overclocking content that we are going to publish utilizing the ASUS P5N-E SLI as the try subject. The P5N-E SLI itself has never been reviewed here at Legion Hardware, contempt having owned this CPU Board for nearly 6 months now. Quite, this CPU Board has been the central point of various articles written in the previous 6 months. The P5N-E SLI was 1st utilized to overclock the Core 2 Duo E6400 from 2.13GHz entire the way to 3.50GHz in only Three-steps. Then more currently the P5N-E SLI was utilized to push an E4400 processor from 2.0GHz to a comfortable 3.0GHz utilize nothing more than standard Intel cooling.


Now recent we are going to depict you how it is possible to proceed an Intel Pentium E2160 processor in US, at 3.40GHz without having to utilize water-cooling. This 1600MHz overclock can again be reached in only a some simple steps, which I will explain in this article. Furthermore because the ASUS P5N-E SLI cpu board utilizes the nForce 650i SLI chipset, memory speed is somewhat irrelevant while overclocking. Dissimilar Intel chipsets for example, these Nvidia edition can overclock the processor and memory independently of one another. It means while the Intel Pentium E2160



processor was utilizing a 378MHz FSB to achieve 3.40GHz, the memory was functioning on a 266MHz FSB utilizing a 3X clock multiplier.


Basically what this means is those needing to overclock an Intel LGA775 processor on a cpu board such as the ASUS P5N-E SLI, require not concern about memory speeds. Instead than waste serious cash on high-speed memory, users can easily buy DDRII-667 or DDR2-800 memory instead. The majority of DDRII-667 memory examples can easily functioning at 800MHz, though these days the cost difference among DDRII-667 and DDRII-800 memory is negligible anyway. To show this point we determined to utilize Two GB of Transcend Jetram in US.


In Before we have published DDRII memory frequency and latency function articles. The memory frequency article proved that DDR2-667 is just as fast as DDR-1181 when using an overclocked Core 2 Duo processor. The latency performance article too tested that when functioning at 800MHz CAS6-6-6-18 T2 timings are actually no dumber than CAS3-3-3-8 T1 timings. Therefore when constructing a budget system with the purpose of carrying out some serious overclocking, do not lose sleep over what kind of memory you are going to utilize with the P5N-E SLI.
