emig647 Posted April 14, 2007 Share Posted April 14, 2007 OK, I found the ram frequency... Is the cpu frequency really that easy to update? Mine says 266 (for my 2.66 e6700)? No multiplier * fsb to oc this thing? I want to get this to at least 3 ghz. What is the best way to do that?

chris3g Posted April 14, 2007 Author Share Posted April 14, 2007 you have a 10x multiplier so you'll need to set the FSB to 300 (from 266) to get 3 ghz. Go to the jumperless configuration page, change the setting to manual, and type the fsb value into the field. You may or may not have to play with the voltages and RAM speed. You may also want to manually set your RAM timings (in the "chipset" section) as the automatic settings may be much slower than what you RAM is capable of. Keep in mind that if your overclocking settings are pushing the RAM beyond ddr800 then you might have to use more relaxed timings than what the RAM is labeled at.

emig647 Posted April 14, 2007 Share Posted April 14, 2007 I got it to 3.25ghz at 38deg idle. I don't want to push it any more. I'm getting some damn good scores on cinebench though.

Jaco Posted April 16, 2007 Share Posted April 16, 2007 Emig647, I see you have a 2.33 MPB - this is interresting because I was considering buying myself that for the road, currently I have a Dell E1705 which runs great except I can only run one core so I can't really test performance compared to a real MBP. I also have a Desktop with OSX86 - Pentium 4D - 3.20Ghz - running fine. I got myself the Apple TV and is the process converting my DVD collection to Mpeg4 - H.264 (Visual Hub - AppleTV, Good, H.264) and this takes hours and even longer om my Dell for the best quality. I was wondering if you guys did this type of thing on this new rig of yours and would mind sharing some benchmarks for converting DVD-->Mpeg4, I am considering upgrading but I don't know if I would get the speed boast I am hoping for! Just to give you an idea 1 hour movie - takes 6 Hours to convert on my Dell at the highest settings and H.264, if I can bring that down to 1:1 it would be great and worth the upgrade.

hardwire Posted May 5, 2007 Share Posted May 5, 2007 I've seen posts that say you can have 4 of the SATA ports working by removing the RAID jumpers from the logic board. Can anyone confirm this? I can get 3 of them working (1, 3, 4) at any one time. If I plug a drive into the orange port 1, it will knock out one of the other drives (usually 1 I think). I've tried it with the jumpers removed, and set at their default locations. Has anyone got this working? If so, can you post what drives are on what ports and your bios settings? Also, does anyone have the Jmicron SATA port working?
