Sorry about the bad title

running P4 prescott 2.8 @ 3.1 on hyper4 HSF and just on windows it is running at 50C, upped voltage a smidge and FSB is on 222.5 multiplier on 14.. runs stable enough but prime 95 on tortchure died on first one, think it is cos cheapo ram

and recommendations?

Alex_T · 23 Apr 2006 at 11:37

well did get to 3.2 but well, photoshop wouldnt open due to hardware failure

oops think it is time for new ram as CPU temp was only on 54C

put the memory on a divider

Alex_T · 23 Apr 2006 at 12:21

this is it at 3.1

and memory

Mikey1280 · 23 Apr 2006 at 12:56

just put the mem on a divider and keep going

Alex_T · 23 Apr 2006 at 13:36

what down too??

mc_bob · 23 Apr 2006 at 13:52

166 to start with, then 133 if you run into problems again.

put it down to 5:4 running stable, wont prime 95 it cos that just dies even on normal

mem on a divider will dent performance

iraiguana · 23 Apr 2006 at 17:32

u still need to put the memory on a divider, it will slow it down yes as that is the point. if it is unstable at 1:1 timings then should make it stable with lower settings.

m3csl2004 · 23 Apr 2006 at 17:33

or buy better ram

i would clock up on a divider, see how far you get - than buy some decent ram if you can afford

Alex_T · 23 Apr 2006 at 18:44

well i got to 3.4 on 5:4 n died again when i restarted it wouldnt boot, so think i need new ram n e way.. any recommendations?

-Mike- · 23 Apr 2006 at 18:58

What about trying it with 2x512 instead of the 4 you have? I don't know anything about p4 overclocking but normally 2 sticks is better than 4 for overclocking iirc?

Cyber-Mav · 23 Apr 2006 at 19:04

P4 needs memory bandwidth otherwise its performance suffers big time.

well i do a lot of video stuff on the pc and photoediting so really need the 2gb...... what do u all recommend as replacemend for my current ram then?

Just try what its failing on, with two sticks and see if it works?

p4 is less fussy about how many sticks you use, allough it does have some effects

you could buy something like some gskill hz or some ocz? should be good for ~250

1st'ly get shot of 1gb of ram, you'll see a change

2nd set all you timgings to the bigegst number possibly thus giving slack

3rd what voltgae you got as it's not shown in cpuz oddly

4th set max safe volt for you ram

5th maybe add some volts to the agp, i have 1.7 max in bios on my agp as this increase the chipset (nb) satbailty

Set the ram 1:1, go all the way back to stock and take everything off spd to manual, up the fsb, max saf volt i'd say 1.5, i had my p4e on air to 4g at 1.525 and my mobo is volt modded so it probs came out 1.6 no idea what the abit is like

Run super pi 1m per oc'ing till it crash then adjust things such as volts, ram divder and ram volt

I'd love to get that cpu in my system add go in at 275mhz giving me 3.8ghz the speed would be mental due to the fsb, if i could get it to 285 i'd be happy at 4ghz and 285mhz fsb

can your board do 285 fsb?

Alex_T · 23 Apr 2006 at 22:09

cool cool.... my mobo does go up to 412fsb

will drop down to a gig n give it a go tomorrow
