Help Overclocking PII X2 550BE

[demonstag]

I am currently stuck at 3.6 OC, my stats are

Bus Speed 200 X 18 = 3617
VCC:1.45
Temp Core Idle:29C Load:39-40C
Temp CPU Idle:38C Load: 48-49C
Ram: DDR2 800 - Stock volts and timings(1.8v - 6-5-5-18)
HT: 1000 - max on this Mobo
NB Frequency: 2200 - max on this board
Cooling: Corsair H50 Single fan

My question is if I get a higher HT & NB Frequency will this provide a faster OC?

Many Thanks

Probably not going to be noticable - have you tried upping the timings? Also check the rated frequency of the RAM. What's it running at?

 

[demonstag]

The RAM is running at stock voltage and the timings are Auto. Do you have any suggestions on RAM timings as I have never changed any of them before.

HT wont make a great deal of difference, but NB should. The stock should be 2000mhz,and i can get mine to 2500mhz (although most hit 2600-2800 and ive seen a few 3000 ones floating around).

The current mobo will not boot if I increase the NB frequency above 2200 I think this has something to do with the HT being limited to 1000. I maybe wrong!
