Hi all.

I have a amd64 3200 cpu with retail hsf on a dfi expert mobo with a gig of corsair ram.

I have been out of the loop quite a while and this motherboard is a bit more complicated than what i am used to dealing with!

So how do i go about overclocking my chip on this board?

:o
 
I have read the sticky many times! I just need some help with this mobo in particular because its rather complicated.
 
For a start, my old motherboard had a HTT section so i made sure it stayed at about 1000. But i cant see a setting on this motherboard.

Also there is two places to chage cpu voltage, and i dont know whats the difference!
 
Ok i upped the fsb from 200 to 210, 220, 230,240 and it was stable as a rock, although i did up the voltage to 1.425v and use a memory devider.

But as soon as i got to 250 i cant get it to boot. It just restarts every 3/4 seconds after you turn it on. I dont even get a picture on the screen before it reboots, and it just keeps doing it till i turn the pc off and reset the bios.

I have tried upping the voltage of the ram, cpu and northbridge but it hasnt helped.

I know this chip can to 2700mhz as i have done it on my old board. So whats going wrong?
 
No but it worked fine up to 2400mzh? Ive just been playing again and i cant even get it to 2100 mhz now! Same problem as what i was getting at 250fsb.

What the hells wrong with this thing! :(
 
I have tried reducing it to 4 and its still giving me the same problem, and thats trying to get 210fsb working, somthing that was working fine before with HTT set to auto!
