BSOD with FSB more than 212mhz???

JoeCooper · 5 Nov 2009 at 01:29

Hi, im trying to overclock my cpu (slightly). but i the limit seems to be 212mhz on the FSB. I set the voltage of the cpu to 1.4v (1.35v normaly), but this makes no difference.

Ive looked on google for help with overclocking the AMD Athlon II X2 250 cpu and they all manage to get the FSB to around 250mhz with no problems... what could be the problem?

Thanks

Joe

What do you mean by limit exactly?

Does it boot up beyond that? crash in Windows? Blue SCreen? what?

Need more info also what's ur multiplier remenber also to make sure ur ht is below 1000 so set it to x4 multiplier. Also make sure ur cpu fsb isn't linked to the rest of the system otherwise ull be overclocking everything.

Also just cause someone's elses chip will go that high doesn't mean anything as it's just luck of the draw if u get a good or a bad cpu (in terms of overclocking anyway).

HT link is now 2000 as standard!

i meant limit as in, blue screens and doesnt boot up. then in post says "Overclocking Failed..."

my multiplyer is 15. I think it is linked but my bios is a bit crap.
Some screens of it here: http://www.tomshardware.com/reviews/amd-785g-motherboard,2441-6.html

How can it Blue Screen if it doesn't boot up?

What BIOS you running?

What speed is your memory running?

SOmething isn't right there? 212MHz HT ref.Clock is rather low? :confused:

i was using the Turbo-V util that came with the MB. It blue-screens when i use that, ive also tried via bios and it doesnt boot at all.

Im not too familuar with overclocking. tried to read up on it as much as possible but just cant work this out.

maybe this will help?

Have you tried AMD Overdrive

give that a try and see how you get on, drop the multi on all the CPU cores and the HT link and try raising the HT ref.Clock :cool:

put the multiplyer to 13 and less. the HT Multi to x6. and still putting the HT ref.clock above 215 blue screens it.

What speed is this Patriot Viper 4GB Ram your using?

DDR3-1333 (PC3-10666)

DDR3-1600 (PC3-12800)

Lower the ram multiplier when you up the base clock, and add +0.1v to the northbridge.

1333 im using

DDR3-1333 has a stock base speed of 666MHz so it looks like your RAM is being overclocked more than it likes so either adjust the memory speed down or give it more volts!

what would be a good voltage for my DDR ram? 1.59 its at now
