Hello oc'ers.
I recently put together a rig consisting of a
Asus P5ND2 SLi nForce4 Motherboard
P4 3.4 Dual Core Cpu
2 Gig of Corsair DDR2 XMS2-6400C4 TwinX Memory
2 XFX GeForce 6800 XT Extreme Edition 256MB GDDR3 Graphic Cards in SLi (was on somewhat of a budget, but these cards clock in exactly as a 6800GT does without the extra vertex & pipelines)
520Watt Zalman Stealth PSU
a pair of WD Raptor Sata drives (10,000rpm)
Both cards, and CPU cooled by the Zalman Reserator1-Plus Fanless Water Cooling System with optional Reserator1 fan. the CPU idles at around 25oC and both cards around 49oC
im running Windows XP SP2 (100% legit copy) and all parts were supplied from Overclockers.co.uk.
now for the nightmare, CPU and GPUs REFUSE to overclock. full stop. i mean what the flying ****? I didnt get water cooling just because it looks good, someone please tell me where I went wrong as im deeply upset. ive been building and oc'ing machines for many years, yet this rig will crash and blue screen like **** mad if you raise the damn clocks in the slightest. i am one ****** off dude. please someone shed some light on this, I see people with 2.8 p4 dual cores on stock cooling reach 3.6-.3.9 why is the world giving me a bull**** hand?
i cant even use the rig anyway since all I play is battlefield and even when everything is at stock frequenices it will still crash due to the dual core chip or SLI mode etc.. feel like ive wasted a lot of time and money and now im using my standard Micro ATX Asus baord with a 3Ghz Dual core with golden sample 6800Ultra and a gig of Geil DDR2 which is 100% more stable than the thing i just built!!! WTF?!?!?!
Much appreciated anyone who can take the time to throw ideas at me, thanks again! Ell.
(oc'ing wise I use coolbits, RivaTuner, and the asus A.I overclock feauture, although ive tried it manually ofcourse, still no joy.)
Watch your language.
