I thought this was as good as any other time to write a blog.

Ive only just started Overclocking really this is my first system that is my own in which if it breaks no other family member will mind.
Anyway.

My motherboard is a Gigabyte GA-N680SLI-DQ6 - BIOS Version FBD (Rev v2.0) and the CPU im using is an Intel Core2 Duo E6750 2.66ghz 4MB L2.

=======================================================
Stock Clock is as followed.

CPU: 2.66ghz, Stepping G0, max FSB speed is 1333mhz or 333mhz Quad Pumped, Vcore@1.350v

Motherboard: FSB: 333mhz - 1.25v, N-bridge - 1.25v , S-bridge - 1.5v.

RAM: 5-5-5-18 800mhz @ 1.8v, 59.1ns latency
=====================================================
Max stable overclock obtained.

CPU: 3.20ghz @ 1.365v

M/B: FSB - 400mhz (1666mhz) 1.3v, N-bridge @ 1.30v, S-bridge @ 1.55v

RAM: 5-5-5-18 800mhz @ 2.00v, 41.9ns latency
=====================================================

Ive managed a 20% overclock on Liquid Cooling, using a standard Liquid cooling kit for $200. Full load temps are around 48c-50c while it idles at 30c-35c. My Northbridge sensor diode detects the motherboard at 50c when under full load for 6hrs (reason why i cannot overclock any higher) however the copper plating that covers most of my M/B is a scorching 70c-80c i burnt the tip of my finger when i first touched it. Attaching some fans to vent the heat was a good idea.

Unlinking the CPU and RAM frequencies to obtaining a 1:1 ratio is crucial for a stable OC. Also locking the multiplier at 8 is a good idea (8x400 = 3200)

The E6750s theoretical clock limit is 3.20ghz stated on an Intel site. This has proven true however i was able to clock it at 3.40ghz for a short time before i was unable to boot to Vista even raising the CPU Vcore to 1.38v, FSB to 1.35v, N/B to 1.35v, S/B to 1.6v and raising the HT link 0.5v it still failed to boot.

Also the E6750 is able to obtain a stable OC of 3.20ghz with Vcore at stock. However it wasn't the case for me.
On full load the CPU now consumes a massive 119.3W of power which is more than some of the 6 and 7 series graphics cards from Nvidia. Where at stock clock it was only consuming 75W-90W. So this CPU can be very power hungry so make sure you have the right power supply for the job.

But thats nothing compared to my 2x GTX280s which with a combine total consumption of 800W @ 78A (At complete full load this is, its usually around 700W @ 60-75A) ]]> Aus_Karlos http://www.techsupportforum.com/blogs/137997-aus_karlos/121-overclocking.html http://www.techsupportforum.com/blogs/137997-aus_karlos/120-connecting-ps3-internet-via-pc.html Wed, 24 Dec 2008 02:00:22 GMT I have a nice TV screen that i run my PC and PS3 off and i was thinking is there a way of connecting to the internet to play my PS3 online without having to run a cable though the house, then i thought why not try to connect it to my PC. If you having trouble connection your PS3 to your PC then... I have a nice TV screen that i run my PC and PS3 off and i was thinking is there a way of connecting to the internet to play my PS3 online without having to run a cable though the house, then i thought why not try to connect it to my PC.

If you having trouble connection your PS3 to your PC then follow these simple steps.

1) On the PC go to "Network Connections" right click on the LAN Ethernet that the PS3 is plugged into on your PC.
2) Click on Internet Protocol(TCP/IP) and manually select an IP for the PC, eg. 192.168.0.XXX then have a subnet of 255.255.255.0.
These steps usually work if you only want to connect to your PC not the internet, However its far more simpler than you think.

If your PC is connected to a internet whether its through USB or Ethernet (which then goes on to a router or modem) then you have no problem connecting your PS3 to your PC then to the internet.
*Note if your connected to the internet through a Ethernet cable make sure your PC has a free Ethernet port for your PS3.*

Ignoring the first to steps above follow these if you wish to connect to the internet through your PC to the PS3.

1) Go to the Network connections and hold down ctrl, select your Internet and then the PS3 connection. Right Click on one of them and select "Bridge Networks".

I have only tried this on my PC which is connected wirelessly to a router then to the internet.
My PC has a dynamic ip so everytime i connect to the network it changes so i dont know the affect it will have on ppl with static network IP's.
Make sure the PS3 is set to automatically detect a connection!
Accentually whats happening is your PC is acting like a Hub for the PS3, the PS3 sends the data to your PC in which your PC relays it to the router. *The PS3 is given an IP from the router not the PC so make sure your router or modem has DHCP enabled.*

Last note it is wise to set a restore point before creating a bridge as creating a bridge network makes a lot of network changes to your PC which may make it not connect to the internet.

If anyone has any problems with this PM me. ]]> Aus_Karlos http://www.techsupportforum.com/blogs/137997-aus_karlos/120-connecting-ps3-internet-via-pc.html
