Aren't we up to 169.XX something now?

My 8800 had 157.XX drivers with it, and both seem to be very similar in performance and stability terms.

Ok, update. I uninstalled my display drivers, ran OCCT, same again, locked up. So I rebooted, hit the BIOS and put my mem back to 667mhz (I was at 720) and now occt is well into 10 minutes and it hasnt locked up. Ill reinstall my gfx drivers and let you know what happens then

Tooks!! ive fixed it!! Dropped my mem back to 667 and it stable! also running cod4 with no issues! although I havent put my xfi back in yet (to be honest the on board sounds exactly the same.. cant beleive I just said that)What speed is your mem running at?
I wonder whats the highest I can go, weird how I could sit in windows no problem at 720 but under load it locked up, ill maybe try 710 next see what happens
 
Nice one! :)

Sounds like you're getting somewhere, and getting to know your way around the bios too!

My memory is at 800mhz, and with my FSB at 400, I guess I can believe that to be true, as the divider is probably at 2. I'm only running 2GB with two sticks though.

Yeah im glad I found out what it was, my pc was nearly in bits again ;)
Ok ive got the memory at 700 now, so far so good in OCCT, touch wood!

Right, so now for the OC, so you think ill get away with just nudging the fsb and cpu vcore? Shall I leave all the others on auto?
Do you know of any decent temp monitoring for Vista64, I dont think TAT runs under it!?
Also, when I run OCCT, I notice in speedfan that even when my cpu temps hi 40degs, the fan speed doesnt go above 1430, but ive got it on auto.. any ideas why it doesnt go higher, or does the cpu need to get hotter :S
Thanks again for your help Tooks
 
Its not my day Tooks, I tried a little OC with noy joy. I hit 366 x 7 and left the cpu vcore @ 1.325.. it wouldnt post. I had to clear and set back to default 333 and default vcore (which claims its 1.35 but cpuz says its actually 1.312)
Any ideas whats stopping me?

update: Ive now tried 366 @ 1.325, 366 @ 1.35 and 400 with both of the previous and @ 1.45
It just doesnt want me to OC :( Is there something im missing (btw all of which are unlinked with the memory at 700mhz)

update: I HAVE OVERCLOCKED... to a massive 2.4ghz! haha, 345 x 7 @ 1.312. Memory at 710Mhz.
Anyone any suggestions what I try next? bearing in mind the above attempts failed

update: Ok, strangley enough, 375 @ 1.35 has now posted!

Can someone please explain the fsb:dram ratio? CPUZ now reports 16:15.. is this bad? Is the idea to get 1:1?
Cheers
