Im having a lot of trouble trying to overclock my A64 3000+ Winchester core on an A8N-E motherboard. The ram im using is a gb of corsair twinx PC3200.
Basically, as soon as I take the FSB over about 224MHz my computer either freezes or wont boot. Ive followed all the instructions I could find, and lowered the HTT multi to 3x, as well as lowering the ram divider to half, and the CPU multi to 5x. Ive locked the PCI clock in the bios as well.
Then when I try to overclock the FSB with the intention of finding the HTT limit, it never lets me past around 220MHz, when I have read of people easily gaining high 200s and 300s off this board and chip. Ive been using clockgen, as well as doing it in the bios to see if that made a difference but i just get the same results. Im using a new Zalman flower fan, and the temps on the cpu or mboard havent exceeded 40 even under load, so I cant see it being a heat problem.
Does anyone have any suggestions? Sorry if the answers obvious or already been answered but my search yielded no results.
Cheers James
