Have you tried lowering the multiplier to x6 to see if it will go over 425mhz?

bluebird14 · 3 Feb 2008 at 22:11

yep

even tried lowering mem timings to the lowest the bios wuld let me. ive tried everything i can think of.

425mhz is probably your chips FSB wall then. Not nice, but it happens.

What speed is your memory running at?

ive tried various mem speeds and still nothing. i personally think its my board tht just wont go any further.

Same boat as me the MSI gear doesn't seem to overclock as well as other brands

i was even thinking of getting a new board but it dosnt really seem like a cost worthy thing to do, especially since i was fine back when it was only at 2.6GHz. But as a like a challenge im gunna keep trying.

Im having a go at overclocking my mem then goin back to the cpu and see how it is then.
