BF2 causes reboots at 220+ FSB

apocc · 19 Feb 2006 at 21:28

Got my FSB up to 220, running around 2.6GHZ, HTT is at 800MHZ, giving the memory all the voltage this mobo lets me, during gaming the CPU levels at 40c max i guess, but for some reason the PC eventually just reboots after a few minutes of playing BF2, have i reached my limit? or has this memory had enough of running at 220 lol

could well be the memory, knock the memory divider down a notch (166).

Extra cooling on the graphics card stopped reboots in bf2 for me, just the extra heat that pumps out raises ambient temp in the case and has a knock on effect

Have you checked the PWMIC and Chipset temps? Thats what made my oclock unstable when I played intensive CPU/GPU games.

You think the corsair xms could handle 220, consider loosening the timings?

Battlefield 2 is a very good stability tester i think, sometimes your system will be stable for hours on prime 95 etc but when you try to play this you will find it crashes.
As people have said try and lower your divider.

I have issues with BF2 as well. I have ran memtest on my RAM for 12 hrs+ with no issues (220Mhz 2, 3, 3, 6 1T) CPU at 2400 Mhz

My temps under load are <45'c but i can gaurentee that BF2 will always crash.

BF2 does Not like clocking simple as that.
People have a hard enouth job getting it running at default let alone after a clock.

I had seen various post on other forums to that effect. Im pretty sure my system has some more in at but good old BF2 is stopping me!

BF2 likes clocking here though, 50% overclock on the CPU, 125mhz on my XLs core and 200Mhz on the XLs memory.

BF2 works fine for me. saying that, I did experience problems when clocking my old X2.

Am i doing something wrong then !?!?!

read my edit

Slinwagh · 25 May 2006 at 18:10

So its possibly a dual core issue then.......

trojan698 · 25 May 2006 at 18:59

maybe

sablabra · 25 May 2006 at 19:26

No problems with my x2 [email protected] here, so I'm guessing you're doing something wrong!

Zefan · 25 May 2006 at 19:30

In my experience BF2 breaks I overclock considerably, whatever the heat.

daftVader · 25 May 2006 at 19:40

BF2 is stable for me with FX60 oc'd to 3ghz. Crossfire oc'd to 690/800.

id look into the memory

EDIT just seen his specs also maybe ure psu isnt up to the job a generic 600 watt with that gfx card i think it will be getting owned the power supply id try get a performance one in and see if that does the job
