Need some advice.
Ever since I got my new system together, I just couldn't wait to overclock this baby, here are specs.
Antec TruePower 430W ABIT NF7-S 2.0, BIOS 1.8 XP1700+ DLT3C JIUHB 1.5V 0317 Thermalright SLK-800(A) w/ SmartFan II Corsair XMS 512MB PC3200 Low Latency Platinum Heatsink (2-3-2-6-T1) Built By ATI 9500 PRO (No SHIM, stock) 2 @ Western Digital 60GB 7200RPM 8MB Buffer Lite-ON 52x/32x/52x, Lite-ON 16X DVD-Rom Right now I'm sitting happy at 200x11@1.55V = 2210MHz, I passed 3dmark01, 3dmark03, and I ran the BURN-IN test 10 times, and passed, now after 3dmark01, etc my full load temp was 42-43C, and after Soldier of Fortune II it was 45C (I dont like this one...). Now I need some advice on what to change/do... Should I keep raising my FSB till I hit a limit, or should I switch up my multiplier to like 10, or 11.5 and try that out? What about my RAM timings, what do you think about raising the DDR Voltage? Right now I'm running 6-3-3-2T, I couldn't do 6-2-3-2 because either my system wouldn't boot, or 3dmark would just shut off by itself. ANY ADVICE is appreciated. Thank you. |

try the multipliers, and if that's successfull, inch up the FSB.

I tried a couple of different settings.
10x200@1.5V (5-2-2-2) = no boot 10x200@1.5V (6-2-2-2) = no boot 10x200@1.5V (6-3-3-3) = no boot 11x200@1.55V (5-2-2-2) = no boot, blinking underline 11x200@1.55V (6-2-2-2) = no boot, blinking underline 11x200@1.55V (6-3-2-2) = booted succesfully, running it right now. I'm gonna go run 3dmark01, 03 with these settings, and if all goes well... I will raise the fsb by 2 increments and test between each, if I hit a low FSB (bottleneck), I will try to raise the FSB to 11.5 and try that with different FSB's. Looks like my CPU dont like 10x multiplier.  |

I like to find the limit of the fsb first and then the cpu. Try not to OC both at the same time because then it's harder to find what is holding you back. Don't be shy with the voltages

So your saying keep going up with the FSB to see when it stops?

Yeah, once you find your max fsb you're pretty much isolating the cpu OC'ing from the rest of the system. So when you've found your max fsb and you start to OC the cpu and it fails, you know it was the cpu and you're not sitting there guessing if it was the mobo, the memory or any component(except maybe the psu ) You can also do this the other way around but I find it easier to know max fsb first. Also once you know the max fsb and the multiplier speed jumps are too big, you can drop the fsb down 10-15MHz and milk up the cpu slowly by raising the fsb 1-2MHz at a time. Hope I helped or even made sence |
