Are these bios settings ok?

Like i told you already. When you change the fsb it will change the Dram Frequency because they are linked. You increase the fsb then have to go back and change the dram frequency or it will crash. This is because the ram is trying to run at a speed higher than it's rated speed. Do this and save the bios changes and it should boot.

so shall i run it below 800 and something mhz?
 
hey i done it its booted into windows just going to stress test with orthos..

i put the dram frequency to something like 750.. here are some print screens of cpuz..

thats with no voltage adjustments or anything..

I've been telling you that for a couple if days. ;) When you raise the fsb you have to change the Dram Frequency as well as they are linked. It does'nt matter if it's lower at the moment we can do some tweaking later on. After all, you are'nt going to stop at 370 are you? When you get to 400 you can set the ram back to 800 again. Anyway, run Orthos for a good few hours, 8 is recommended for proper stability, but if you are going for more (you know it makes sense) a couple of hours will do before going on to the next step.

How are your temps? Can't remember what cooler you are using now?

im using the artic cooler pro 7 and temps are around 30-37..

yes i want to go further..

how many hours shall i run orthos for my 370fsb overclock?

once i have done that you can tell me the next step :D
p.s you got msn??

8 Hours with no failure is widely accepted as being stable. Temps are very low so there should be a lot more to come. What are we aiming for? 4Ghz? Easily do-able with your rig. Next step should be 3.6Ghz i reckon. 9x400. We will probably need to increase the vcore for that but not have to touch hardly anything else. Lets make sure you are stable at what you have got at the moment first.

Not got msn or any other instant message thing. Email is in my trust though. I also check this forum several times a day.

Ok its on 370FSB.. ill leave it overnight.. so it will be more than 12 hours.. il post back with the result..

Shall i close all programes and disconnect net etc.. then run orthos over night?
Click to expand...

I just leave Prime or Orthos running along with something to keep an eye on temps (not that you have a problem with yours yet) and shut everything else down. My big pc (in siggy) is'nt connected to the net anyway as it's a pure gaming/overclocking rig with the bare minimum of windows and other services running.
 
so what shall i run or not run?? my temps are around 31-41 for the cpu.. for the mobo around 24

also so far ive bin running it all day normally on 370 FSB..

give me detailed instructions please..

Sorry logged off last night after my last post. Realtemp is the best way to monitor cpu temps on the Wolfdales. There's a thread on it in the CPU forum. Presuming you ran all night with no problems do you want to go further?

If so get Realtemp downloaded, installed (don't forget the driver and calibration, it's all in the thread how to do it). We will then have an idea of actual temps.

Increase fsb to 400 and change the Dram Frequency accordingly (you should see an option for 800 again now) save and try to reboot. It's a bit of a longshot as it may not boot properly. If it does'nt then you need to increase the vcore. Try 1.375v first and then if that still does'nt work increase to 1.4v. It won't show that much in cpu-z due to the appalling vdroop on this board. It should now boot and run Orthos. Run Orthos and keep an eye on temps with Realtemp. Run it for 8 hours as this is quite a big jump now. This should see you stable at 3.6Ghz.

Thankyou :D

StillUndisputed soz i havent been able to be on msn or anything... although it looks like pastymuncher has your back... had a catastrophic hardware failure lol and my PC is down.... currently waiting on an RMA that could see me out of it for a week or two :rolleyes: Still good to see your getting on ok with the OC! I'm using a mates rig that i just fixed for him, lucky really as no net connection would almost certainly kill me! lol almost ironic... not long upgraded to C2D and within a week maybe two im sat here on a X2 939 and the glorious nVidia 6600 :eek: Oh just so you know, my OC had nothing to do with it, just a random death of a new component *sigh*

RealTemp is by far the most accurate of the two programs, although no programs are exactly accurate supposedly so far.... we will have to work with what we have, CoreTemp is not a million miles away according to the general consensus but like i say RealTemp has it atm

Anyway just a post so you dont think i abandoned you willingly :)

hey pasty and foehammer i put the FSB to 400 and didnt adjust no vcore voltage and i booted into windows:D

temps are around 40ish..

il run orthos for couple of hours

That's good. I was hoping that would happen as i have seen E8400's hitting 4Ghz with only 1.3v vcore. If it does'nt run Orthos or fails after a couple of hours then try increasing vcore a notch. I replied to your email by the way.
