please help, PII 940 OC
Hi all, i've been trying to overclock my Phenom II 940 for the last week or so and have it running @ 3.5GHz using multi only but have hit a bit of a wall
i think the problem is i'm using a nvidia chipset and most other's are using amd chipsets and i'm not sure if voltage setting on amd boards are the same as nvidia and have no idea what stock volts are and max safe volts
@ 3.5GHz temps are about 50-53'c full load so temps are below the max 63'c but can't seam to get any higher, idle temps are about 33-36'c
i'm a little rusty when it comes to overclocking, the last time i had a really good overclock was an old athlon axia 1GHz @ 1.4GHz, i have overclocked most of my systems but nothing extreem 300-400 mhz tops (or 200MHz on my last system x2 6000)
i have had it running @ 3.6 & 3.7GHz but crashed on occt test , i'll post pic's of the bios screens when i find my card reader if it helps
any help would be much apprecated
