So I had a bit of a drama a couple of weeks back with my PSU going and taking out my mobo. So I got a replacement mobo and PSU. Now before all this I had my E2180 running at 3ghz. Now for the life of me I cannot get my PC to boot or if it does boot I get a BSOD as soon as windows loads. My Ram is

Corsair 2GB (2x1GB) DDR2 800MHz/PC2-6400 XMS2 Memory Kit Non-ECC Unbuffered CL5 1.9V

GA-P35C-DS3R previously GA-P35-DS3R

BeQuiet 530w

Does anyone have the settings I need to get this bloddy thing back to 3ghz before I through it out the window.
 
No mate

GA-P35C-DS3R previously had a GA-P35-DS3R

BeQuiet Pure Power L7 530W previously had aOCZ Stealth XStream 600W
 
Something that cought me out when i accidentally reset my bios last week was I forgot to reduce my RAM multiplier (n00b mistake I know), so I could bring my CPU back up to it's old overclock, If it is the RAM's fault then try lowering it's mutliplier. There is nothing else you can try really to be honest short of it being a power supply issue
 
The ram is fine. Had it in another machine. Better not be the PSU or I will go balistic.
 
I have tried a few different settings. Think on my previous mobo I had

10x Multiplier
300 FSB (also tried 333 with a 9x multiplier)
Timing ( had this to auto then to 5-5-5-12 as per my Ram specs)
DDR2/DDR3 over voltage +0.1
Locked PCI-E Freq to 100
C.I.A.2 Disabled
FSB +0.1
MCH +0.1
Think my CPU had 1.35v going through it
 
333x9 would be the best way to go
Make sure your ram divider is set so the frequency is no more than 800
set your timings to 5-5-5-18

Nothing should need over volting apart from your CPU 1.325 ~ 1.350
 
Tried that and it doesnt work. Seems weird sometimes when I change settings then go to exit & save after pressing Y when I hit enter it seems to freeze. Also even though CPUz is telling me that the CPU is running at 2ghz if I go into my bios the settings are there that should take it to 3gz i.e 10x multiplier at 300mhz FSB. Usually on my old mobo after a failed OC it would revert back to the standard settings where the CPU Host Clock Control would be set back to Disabled?
 
I take it that every thing runs ok at stock.
What are the temps like. ie has the cooler been mounted evenly?
are you running the latest bios revision ?
 
Looks like you're going to have to start from the beginning again.
Just push up the fsb 10 MHz at a time till it fails a stability test. push the core voltage a little....test......raise fsb a little till it fails....etc etc etc

Use some thing like IBT on standard 5 runs for quick test.
When you're happy or reached what you think is max you can achieve, run IBT on maximum with 25 runs to check for good stability.


good luck :)

surely if it's a different board the overclock potential with the same voltages will be different? im sure not each and every board holds the same voltages in the same way when put under stress...so you'd probably need to tweak it a bit
 
Thats true mate. But I dont imagine it would be that far off. Any way still no luck I cant even get the bloody E2180 above 2ghz?
 
Still no luck at all. I cannot get this thing to OC at all no matter what my settings are???
 
Well Im back with this bloody board. I just bought an E8400 from the bay and I still cannot get this board to OC at all. Im starting to think it may be my ram although it OC'd fine on my previous board. Im considering getting DDR3 PC3-10666 can some on tell me if this ram will work in my board

GA-P35C-DS3R

Cheers
