Overclock Problems

Sinque · 24 Dec 2006 at 22:39

I've only today just upgraded my case to a 3dAurora and installed a Scythe CPU cooler. Everything works fine and windows boots perfectly. I've only overclocked the CPU to 220(From 200) with a multiplier of 11x. The temps whilst running Prime95 are maxing out at 33c, no problems there. But whenever I run a game, the FPS has halved and it crashed out after a few minutes.

Anyone have any clues? :confused:

Also what is the 'Core: xxC' temperature measuring in Speedfan?

Could be needing more power. Details?

maybe its caused a problem with your ram ?? the cpu fsb increase results in a memory fsb increase aswell.

I ain't really got a clue what all the stuff means

I just know if I change that number I get more. Ask me what you need and i'll scurry as fast as I can to find the answers :rolleyes:

Okay, here we go.

PSU details : Akasa - 460Watt
RAM details : http://www.overclockers.co.uk/showproduct.php?prodid=MY-046-GL - Stock
volts for cpu - Says Auto in Bios but in CPU-Z it seems to stay around the 1.5v mark.
volts for ram - Will go looking in bios for this now.
mobo type - Asus K8N4-E
volts on mobo - Volts on mobo... Will this be in the bios? :rolleyes:

Edit: Just come out of bios and wrote down everything that involves voltage!

Vcore Volt - 1.48
3.3 Volt - 3.34
5v - 5.02-5.05
12v - 11.84
DDR Volt - This was set as Auto.

I really should have asked what GFX card you used shouldn't I!

Volts look fine so that's one thing out of the equation.

GeForce 6800 GS, at stock

Edit: Each time I run Prime95 on the Torture Test 'Blend' I get this

Edit: My Core temp in speedfan just hits the 50C stage practically instantly then slowly raises and finally shuts the PC down. What is this Core temp?
