hi i just got home from my m8s house after spending large amount of time trying to overclock his comp, thank god i didn't blow nothing up lol.


well i started off with 2.13GHz CPU and ram was working at 800MHz.

first problem i like to ask is should i run the Ram Linked or Unlinked, unlinked i can enter the ram speed which would be much esyier but linked will have a ratio. now which option should i choose and what are avatanges from the other option?

well ignoring that for then i managed to overclock the CPU to 2.64GHz with 1.375v(windows apps said 1.35 =/ which one should i belive?) and Ram was linked with ratio set to Sync or something which i dono what it is but if any other ratio will go over 800Mhz and wont boot due to its quad pumped. any higher FSB the computer will suddenly restart at random times which i guess its due to FSb not being stable correct me if i was wrong.

well walking back home i was thinking anbout what his components can do and i fought:
his FSB is Quad pumped and scince high FSB is the problem i will lower it to 100Mhz and quadpumed makes that 400 and DDR will make that 800 using it to its fullest potential. then the CPU went up to 2.64Ghz so to get that back up i can increase multiplier from 8 to 27 giving 2.7Ghz, but i was thinking there must be a side affect to increasing multiplyier so high so i came on to ask what is the side effect. :D
 
keep the ram at the lowest setting you can whilst overclocking the cpu, that way you know its only cpu dependant if there are any problems.

read the sticky guide to overclocking, its got all you need to know there
 
The Multiplier is locked upwards, You can only lower it to 6

Which Heatsink are you using? Which RAM are you using?

I take it your using a 680i MB?

You are better running Linked and Sync Mode(which it actually 1:1) as what's the point in running the RAM faster when the system doesn't use it?

The Cpu has a FSB of 266 x 4 your ram at 1:1 will run at 266 x 2

All the marketing crap confuses the fact that this is still 1:1

need the other info :)

so what i have have 100Mhz and a multiplier say 60 with out needing any more voltage or it blowing up?
 
i meant run the ram at the lowest MHz, if its 800 ram, run it at about 667.

start by overclocking the cpu, and leave the ram till last

whattt the hell lol on sync is 1:1 but if i set the ratio not to sync but to 1:1 it runs at 266 x 4 not same as sync. and the mutiplyier what effect does it have when i make its giagantic? do it need more voltage or will it simply blow up, the multiplyier can go up to 60 on his which i thought was so strange

why not just leave it unlinked then i can set it to 800Mhz so it will run at max no matter how much i can overclock it to. or is there an advantage to keeping it linked with a ratio?
 
Try and apply a higher Multiplier, I bet it won't change anything as the CPU is hard locked.

running the ram at 533Mhz x 2 while the CPU FSB is 266Mhz x 4 is not running 1:1 is it.
