hi all,

need a bit of advice on the overclocking front, i had a little play around last night and only got the chip to 2.4

My Spec:

abit - ip35-e
e2180 with tuniq 120 cooler
ocz 6400 ram
500w psu
160 sata drive, ide dvd rom and ide dvd writer
ati radeon x300

I was originally using a 300w psu so i didnt want to try any overclocking:

Old psu voltages:

New Psu voltages:

Do they look ok? When people mention the vcore voltage, what are they putting it up to?

Any advice on getting the chip near 3ghz ? :)

Ta all

sorry i meant voltage and i dont like cpuid too much, i used crystal cpuid last night. I'm using speedfan as well to monitor the temps
 
Well either speedfan or coretemp are telling me porkies

speedfan: core 0 and core 1 18c
coretemp: core 0 33c and core1 32c

Now my room is brass monkeys, what do you all think?
 
I've just had another go, i cant get the chip to go over 240 fsb.

I've got the cpu core voltage at 1.325 and the cpu vtt voltage = 1.200

What needs to change or have i just got a duff clocking chip?
 
yes that's what ive been doing, i changed the external clock to 235*10 with default voltages and it booted ok, put it to 241*10 and it wont boot into xp. I've tried upping the cpu core voltage, but i dont know how high to go
 
jesus, i thought i'd popped something, I put the fsb upto 300 and the multiplier down to 9, vcore to 1.4 and it wouldnt boot. Long error beeps, wouldnt boot after clearning the cmos either.

I've just had to take the monkey to bits because of the tuniq tower, and remove the cpu

I think i might just stick to 2.3, i assume my chip is duff for overclocking
 
i think it might be the memory holding it back, i'll change the memory tonight to 1:1. The pci frequency was definately 100.

I'm still a bit unsure on the memory side and frequency/ratio part
 
Pegasus1, would i need to change the ratio on the memory at all?

It's at default at the moment, when i tried 300*9 last night, it wouldnt boot at all :(
 
Thanks pegasus, i'll stick the memory to 1:1 tonight and gradually push it up and see what happens. I'll report back in this post
 
Well ive just managed to have a quick go of overclocking again, i set the memory to 1:1 and started moving it up. I'm at 2.5 (250*10 seems stable), but it wont let me go to 2.6, even with a bit of a voltage increase.

Another thing, if it wont boot sometimes it wont let me clear the cmos, so i have to take the tuniq cooler off, remove the chip etc to get it to boot. Any other way's around this?

i'm getting bored taking the machine to bits all the time lol

Edit: Is itnormal under orthos? One core seems to be doing a lot more than the other

I know how to clear the cmos pegasus, what i'm saying that once i've shorted the cmos with the jumper is still wont boot up.
