Well it's saturday morning and i'm bored.. So I think i'll overclock my 4000+ that I bought a few weeks ago to go in my second machine.
It's sitting in an Asrock Dual Sata board, and is paired with 1GB Kingston DDR400 ram at 2.5-3-3-7 2T timings. Video is handled by a Galaxy 7600GT Extreme Edition 256MB (one with the zalman fan as standard).
I just stuck 4 80mm low speed low noise fans on the front of the case, and 2 on the back. And it already had one on the side window.. so that's 7 80mm fans!!!
Artic Freezer 64 is cooling the CPU and power is being provided by an FSP 500W PSU.
Ok overclocking.
In bios I did the usual.. locked the PCI-E frequency to 100, turned off cool n quiet etc... left the CPU voltage at a stock of 1.35V.
Straight in there with 240FSBx12 to give 2880MHz.. CPU-Z is saying my memory is running at 160MHz, so it's obiously not running the correct divider... and CPU-Z also reports my ram as DDR2 lol (version 1.36) says divider is CPU/18
Ran prime on it while i had breakfast and a shower... Came back, it was still running fine, and core temp was reading the CPU temp as 35/36C. It was idleing at 26/27C in windows... must be with all that air going through the case! Everest and speedfan are also both reporting similar temps, give or take a degree.
I'm away to try 245x12... see how far that gets me.
Oh the HTT is reporting as 960MHz in cpuz, i have it set to auto in bios.
It's also gone from doing a 39 second 1MB PI to 35sec... the memory must definately be letting it down, being value stuff.
Back soon (hopefully)
