Hello,
Got the lovely, Ac Freezer pro today

Well, stuck it on, getting nice temps, so I went on overclocking...I put the number which was Orignally at 200 to "222" which = 2ghz

Then I put it to 244 = 2.2ghz

When I had it at 2.2ghz, ran Prime 95 got an error. After 1-2mins.

So I have left it at 2.0ghz which no problems at all..

Couple of screenies at 2ghz

What is wrong with the memory or something at 2.2ghz if I did, would I have to drop it to 166mhz... (DDR 333) Its at DDR 400 now.. :D

Question : How can I improve this? Rnning 36 degrees underload.

drop the memory to 133, drop the HTT from 1000 to 600, go from there. currently running my venice at 2.5Ghz on air :) same board as you so once you get to 274fsb it will crap out on you due to a software fsb lock embedded in the bios.
 
The problem is, I have the asrock 939 dual...

Where is the HTT found in the bios?

Also running ram at 133 drops the performance hugely does it not :rolleyes:
 
nope, because as you clock your ram speeds will also go up, all your doing is giving yourself headroom. my rams currently at 174, no noticlable difference in performance compared to 200 due to the good timings i have gotten. as for HTT speeds, its in the bios somewhere, it will be set by default to "auto" which you will have to change.

go see here for my setup...

Will do a copy :D


Also you said your "something" is at 174 what is that "something" :P

As I will drop the ram to 133mhz, as you said, then the htt to 600 as you said, then can I edit the number which is currently at "222" to whatever :)
 
my ram frequencys, i dropped them to 133, but as you increase the fsb speed you increase the ram frequency which is why my rams currently at 174 up from 133.
 
Ok will do an exact copy of your ram timings, but will those timings be ok for me? I have 1gb crucial 2x512mb, I jsut noticed ou got a 2gb... good job same board as me :D


Is your voltage at auto? ;)


P.s.

Thanks for your help
 
voltage it at 1.4 my rams a mix of crucial and twinmos sets. the twinmos was cheaper but far better than my crucial, but the crucial i am running accpets the timings i am using. just try booting 1 setting change at a time.
 
Shall I go in bios now and do the following in one go :

Freq - 133mhz
Cas : 2.5
Cas : 3
Ras precharge: 3
Cycle time = 5
Bank clycle : 11
dram idle time ' 16
Htt = 600 instead of 1000

I was planning on doing that in one go... then start with the cpu clocking later.

Edit : 1.40 or 1.450v
 
Freq - 133mhz
Cas : 2.5

those first, boot, then alter the others, basically you just keep lowering them till it refuses to boot lol. it will take 1 to 2 boots to come back online. oh and make sure you update your bios otherwise hdd 32bit transferes will be dissabled by default (a mistake on there part)

edit: my cpu works fine at stock voltage at these speeds,
 
Erm, im sorry dont understand the lastsentance, do you have an IM to talk with ... Im very greatful..Or just explain in simple stages, what to do.. from now on thanks dude :rolleyes: ;)

Edit : Bios is 1.20

you need to update your bios before you go overclocking. v 1.60 is out. basically the 1.2 bios sucks and turns off 32 bit transfere mode for your IDE lines by default, this cripples your disk access times. i would add you to msm, but im off out for 20 minutes, be back shortly.
 
OK, when I update bios, shall I jsut do the windows one?

Is that ok?

Do i just run it like an ormal program, then it restarts my pc?
