any 1 lol

You may wanter lower the volts on the vcore 1.5v on the 45mn cpu's without proper decent cooling will eventully kill the cpu. Ideally below 1.4v on air.

Now that being said, u may be able to bump up the fsb abit more then you are, as ur mobo is a P35 chipset, and on average they will hit 450+ some a lot more but not sure about urs. But you will have to up the North bridge volts abit as it will be running overspec. No more then 1.4/1.5 for the north bridge.

Also unless there is a reason you have lowered the multiplyer you can push that up abit, as the cpu has a 9.5 multi.

What's the problem? Is it too hot? Is it unstable? You haven't said exactly what you need help with

Ginger-Menace · 22 Jul 2010 at 21:52

sorry for being vauge, my system at the min is stable runing fine

temps r good as well
im basicly just wanting to overclock some more lol, ive tried lowering the vcore but it just bsod, havnt touched the north or south bride vols as i dnt really know what im doin lol its just pure luck that is stable now lol, before i have left the overclock as i said but uped the multi to 9 and got 3.8 but it failed on prime would uping the north bride help this?

Ginger-Menace · 22 Jul 2010 at 21:54

i should also add that im planing to build a new system at begining of the year

so not tht bothered about shortening the cpu life span lol

bifday2k · 22 Jul 2010 at 21:55

It may do yes, as the mobo is running 100+ over stock on the fsb, so try setting the north bridge to 1.4v. to see if that helps stability.

Ginger-Menace · 22 Jul 2010 at 21:55

thanks will try now, do the rest of the setting look ok lol

madindehead · 22 Jul 2010 at 21:56

What would be best, is to do a Google search on how to overclock your specific chip. As I own an i7, I can't really help you with overclocking your specific chip.

But for a start, lowering vcore on an overclock, will usually just make it unstable, depending on how high your overclock is, and what voltage it needs to make it stable

Like I say, every chip is different, so you need to find out how to overclock that specific chip, and then overclock your own chip from scratch. If you know what I mean

Ginger-Menace · 22 Jul 2010 at 22:06

thanks for the help! ive just uped the northbridge to 1.41 running at 3.8 just goin to do prime95 whats best to setting to use?

Ginger-Menace · 22 Jul 2010 at 22:14

ok just ran prime and it failed in the first 5 seconds lol somthings not rite lol any ideas?

madindehead · 22 Jul 2010 at 22:16

Like I said, go and Google for a guide on that CPU. I don't own your CPU, so I can't help totally. However, a guide on how to overclock your chip will help you learn

Go here that should help

Ginger-Menace · 22 Jul 2010 at 22:18

ok thanks didnt see your post lol falling asleep i will read and check back lol

Ginger-Menace · 23 Jul 2010 at 17:34

so i have done some messin and reading couldnt get it to 3.8 so put it back to 3.6 put nbridge to 1.4 its at 425 x 8.5 and vcore is 1.5 put the ram at 5-5-5-15 sdid prime and got this.

dnt know how to add image but prime did
worker 1 did 257 tests in 5 hours no errors and no warnings

worker 2 did 76 tests in 1 hour 37 mins 1 error 0 warnings
said fatal error rounding was 0.5 expected less than 0.4 hardware failure detected

whats thias mean? sorry if its noobish
