first proper attempt at oc'ing

Hi

I thought I would have a go at oc'ing even though I know my mobo is not ideal for it.

E4300
G.Skill 2GB DDR2 NQ PC2-6400 (2x1GB) CAS5 Dual Channel Kit
Asrock Conroe 945G-DVI mobo

I used these settings:-
Dram Freq=266 (DDRII533)
Cpu Freq=244Mhz
Pcie Freq=122Mhz

apart from dram freq the rest of the memory settings are set to auto

Do you think I can do anything to get any more speed out of it or is my mobo going to limit me to this? If i increase the Cpu freq anymore it won't boot up win xp.

if i increase cpu freq by 1 to 245 my pc doesn't even detect my hard drive anymore it works again once i put it back down to 244

Look for an option in the bios along the lines of 'pci clock synchronization' and make sure it's set to 33.33Mhz. Also, I reckon you have the Pci-e frequency set too high at 122Mhz, try setting it to its default 100Mhz.

[Edit]

Try setting the ram to 200/400 in order to run it inline (1:1) with the processor. Once you've done this then up the processor to 245fsb which will also take the ram up to 245/490Mhz. If you now find you can boot at the 245 stage then keep upping the the processor until you find its sweet spot.

Goodluck.

Thanks. I tried reducing the pcie to 100 but it wouldn't boot then. i will try lowering the memory speed to 200 and see how it goes then
