Hi there,

I'm having problems trying to overclock my computer (spec is in my sig)

I manged to get the computer booted and running at 400 FBS & 9 multi, without any volt increases - ran it in for a day with no problems what so ever. Anyway i wanted to push it some more so i upped the FBS to 420/430/440/450 - but have had no luck booting it. It just won't post.
I've upped the voltage across the NB (1.63v), CPU(1.6v), ram(2.1v) - but it just wont boot regardless.

Anyway i restored it back to 380 FSB - but soon after returning to it, it wouldnt post - so booted up at stock speeds no problems. Left it on for alittle bit and tried to boot 380FSB again - this time it posted but BSOD on windows boot.

Can anyone help me out - i can't seems to get past this problem.

At the time when i ran at 380 FSB (stock) volts my temp on prime are: 56c CPU, 62c NB, SB 50c.


Thank.
 
Its just cooled passively - i dont have any case fans (just waiting for my fans to arrive)
I cant fit the asus fan cooler on it because of my heatsink.
 
I really cant get my computer to any fast that stock. Its just unstable. I can't figure out why it is.

Can anyone help me out please
 
update computer can boot into windows completely fine at 415FSB but when i run orthos, i gets errors - can anyone push in the right direction to go into please.

Vcore: 1.28 (set to 1.30) - 41c idle vista 64 reading
SB: 1.10
FSBT: 1.33
DRAM: 2.24
NB 1.39 (set to 1.37)---- 56c temp idle vista 64 reading.

Multi: 9x
FSB strap : 333
PCIe: 100
Dram freq: 831
dram static read control: auto
Ai clock twister: auto
transaction booster: auto

c1e support: disabled
CPU TM function enabled
Vanderpool tech: disabled
Execute disable bit: disabled
Max CPUID : disabled
 
ok thanks guys for your input i'll go try it now and let you know how i get along.
I don't know why but i have a feeling that soon as my NB hits 70 vista crashes.
I'll be upping the NB to 1.47 / SB 1.07 like you've suggested and Dram to 2.2 flat.

If i change my FSB strap to 400, is it likely to make things more unstable?

Anyway i just noticed that my cpu is actually at 37c idle, and 45c load.
 
ok i tried doing what you suggested but no luck.
It seems that anything above 800 fsb on the ram makes it unstable.
 
how would i go about setting up the divider setting on the motherboard? I always though i had been using it?

Thanks again for everyones help
