Help with OCing a +3400 Clawhammer please

[2StepSteve]

Hi all

Im having a hard time OCing my +3400 Clawhammer. I am new to OCing CPUs so please if im going wrong somewhere would be grateful if you could point me in the right direction.

At the moment I can't even OC the HTT above 203mhz, as prime95 starts throwing back errors. It still does this even if i set the ram speed at 333mhz... im not sure what to try next.. im really gutted at this point as I thought id at least get 250mhz extra out of my cpu.

Sys specs are
+3400 Clawhammer 754
Abit NV8
2x 512 400mhz kingston ram
x1800xt

Thanks a lot for any tips

You need to o/c each part of your set-up , individually , to find out what is failing Prime.

It takes time.

Good Luck.
