hi i have a e4300,tuniq tower,GIGABYTE ds4,2x 1gb geil ddr6400, 7800gtx and hyper type r 580w psu

every time i try to over clock even by 10% my sytem will hang and i have to reboot

if i overclock in bios my pc just cycles 3 times then boots with previous settings.

im using easytune 5, is there a better way to overclock?

hope u guys can help

ben

when i over clock in bios i get two beeps when rebooting and then it reboots with out overclocking HELP

Stop, turn it off and relax for a bit :)

Then read up on overclocking with an intel machine. Learn what each number means, do a few calculations so you know what happens when you change things. Look around in the bios and work out what each thing does. Then start changing things.

Use the bios, not easytune. Use cpu-z in windows.

i have read up on it, i do know what each thing is, the fastest i can get it to boot is 225*9 = 2025 and ihave vcore at 1.45v
 
mate, i had EXACTLY the same problem. but i read up did some careful math and managed to get mine to 2.7GHz with my RAM at 400MHz which is stock anyway.

read the guide for overclocking in the overclocking forum and in the motherboard forum for the ds3. the only thing i dont know why the hell he set vcore to 1.45. thats WAY WAY overkill. i have mine set to 1.325 vcore and 0.1 over voltage on fsb and it runs just fine.

follow those guides and you will be fine. make sure you set the system memory multiplier correctly as that is what screwed me up and caused mine to cycle.
 
RIGHT IM @ 3.2GHZ NOW BEEN RUNNING ORTHOS 4 45MINS SO FAR OK APART FROM I HAD TO DISCONECT USB FOR SYSTEM TO BOOT
336X8
1.41 VCORE
NORTH BRIDGE +0.2
CPU TEMP AT LOAD 100% 42-43C

thought i would decrease voltage to 1.35v
300x9 = 2700
north bridge + 0.2
ram @ 798

in cpuz my multiplier and core speed keep changing x6 - x9
is this normal?
 
EasyTune is terrible. Was fiddling about on it todays new rig and it just plain sucks. Put it up 10% and totally hung the system. Nice.
 
First put the memory on its lowest divider so it's running at a ridculously slow speed. You know this can't cause any problems.
Then play with the cpu speed. Keep it on it's maximum multiplier (9?) and raise the fsb, testing with orthos until it's unstable.
Then play with the dividers until you get a good mem speed.

Max cpu speed first. Ie. give it say 1.35 or 1.4 volts and raise the speed until it's unstable.

Easy as pi... to 1 million digits in 20 seconds.

Clocking
1. Make sure that you have the latest chipset drivers and flash the board to the most recent bios version
2. On the main bios screen press Ctrl+F1 to open the advanced options within the menus
3. In the Advanced Bios Features Menu, Disable all of the following: CPU Enhanced Halt (C1E), CPU Thermal Monitor 2(TM2), CPU EIST Function
4. In the PC Health Status menu, set the FAN Speed Control Method to "Legacy" & FAN Speed Control Mode to "PWM" to maintain highest speed
5. Go into the MB Intelligent Tweaker (MIT) menu at the bottom of the page, set the System voltage control to "Manual"
6. These boards have a default VDIMM of 1.8v, set the VDIMM to co-ordinate with your ram. The Geil I have is specced as 2.1v so I have mine set to +0.3v
7. Set the MCH Voltage to +0.1v
8. Set the FSB Voltage to +0.1v
9. Set the VCORE to 1.45v - Please be aware that this will increase temps!
10. Set the CPU Host Clock Control to "Enable"
11. Set the System Memory Multiplier to "2x"
12. You're set to go, just increase the System bus Frequency to Overclock
13. I would reccommend that you use Intels TAT to monitor temps

im running 1.36v on core, 320x9 on a ds3. think iv got +0.2 on the northbridge aswell, ****** 70C at load! Im at 48-50 while not at load like. Rooms fairly warm at the moment, Think ill reseat the heatsink tommorow though. Im glad im getting a good clock out of it like, even if its @ 70c load!

7. Set the MCH Voltage to +0.1v+0.2v is that to much?

is 1.45v to much
 
how long should i run orthos for? it ran for 6 hours till it stoped last night @ 3ghz vcore 1.4v im upping vcore to 1.45v now

this was 380x8
would it be better then to decrease to say 336 and increase multiplier as stated above to x9

thanx ben

ps thanx for all the replys your helping me a lot! ive learnt **** loads on here

leave cpu multiplier @ the highest it can go. Thats why certain cpus cost more - they have a higher multiplier!
the 4300 is attractive because a lower fsb is needed due to a higher multiplier

I would do this just so you can stress the chip without stressing the mobo so much. Once you've found a good clock speed for the cpu you might find that the same clock with a lower multi and higher fsb is faster.
