Old School 939 o/c help

Hi folks, I need views on how to overclock a 4000 939 single core chip please. I have 2gb of OCZ ddr500 working fine and able to o/c the previous 3500 no probs, but I have one major issue with this 4000 - I cannot increase the fsb at all; not even by 1fsb. I can however, run the memory at the full 250mhz bandwidth with the chip at stock multi. This gives a nice boost in benchies and real world performance, but am I missing any o/c fun? I don't think the chip is borked as it runs sweet unless I mess around with it. Mobo is an A8R32-MVP Del.

cheers
 
Cheers folks - HT is only selectable in Mhz (200/400/800/1ghz) and max voltage is 1.4 with some extra coming by the northbridge. I cannot get it past x4 multi at 250fsb and HT at 200mhz, with cpuz strangely reporting the mem speed to be 200 but 250 in bios....most strange. Its not the end of the world if I can't get it clocked but its just really weird how it won't post with even a minor change.

Any ideas?
 
Cheers Chap - will give it a go although the core voltage is the only thing I may have trouble with.

Sorted - 3ghz it is then :P Will try a few benchies but it looks rock solid. Cheers Andy

All stable at 3ghz with an afternoon up to now benching with no errors. Temps are pretty damn good too with it reporting 31 on idle and about 43 on load - well impressed :D

Cheers for the help and How to ;)
 
Sorry Dude - I've been away plus I've no way of posting them :( Suffice to say though, it does 33k in 3d2k1 with the 1950XT which strangely seems to be the bottleneck now...oh well, there's always an excuse to get an upgrade :D
