Hey All,
I have been toying with overclocking on and off for a approx 2 months and have picked up lots of useful information from this forum (thanks all). I now have a some questions and would really appreciate it someone could shed some light on any of this.
As always, thanks in advance for any help given.
I have:
Abit AW9D max mobo and e6600 CPU
2 x 1GB Dominator PC6400 RAM (Currently @ 4-4-4-12)
8800 GTX
Corsair HX 620W PSU
I apologise up front if I get anything wrong here, I am still fairly new to all of this.
I have had moderate success with overclocking and managed to achieve an overclock of 3.33GHz stable or at least I thought so (ran orthos dual for about 8+ hours) This was running a vCore of 1.475v, mch 1.65v, RAM at 2.1v (and above timings) and a divider of 1:1 so the ram was slightly down on its rated spec. Periodically I would get a blue screen and the system would restart, not sure why? Can anyone help with this and other questions?
1) Is there anything obviously wrong with the setup in any way, any ideas what may cause this seeing how it ran orthos for 8+ hours?, let me know if you need any more info?
2) Is there a problem (performance or other) with running a lower multiplier, I tried x8 and was then able to achieve 400MHz FSB, CPU at 3.2GHz and by using a 1:1 divider, the RAM was running at it's rated 800MHz spec? Not sure how stable this is yet as only just configured as such.
3) Does anyone have any links to overclocking guides that give max safe voltages/settings for my particular mobo etc, i.e. is mch 1.65v or vCore 1.475 too high for an air cooled system? I am using an Artic pro 7
As before, any help is much appreciated.
Cheers,
Kribby.
