hi guys

i'm new to ocing as such as this is my first non-oem pc and the other night i started having some ocing fun. I started with the 7900 .. nudging up the core and memory clocks and then decreasing them slightly when i had artifacting problems .. np's here.

now with the cpu i was going up slowly when a friend said to copy his settings as he was on an asus x38. he said to; cpu voltage - 1.35 CPU GTL (or something) - 1.54 and northbridge - 1.58.

I did this and nudged the fsb straight up to 445 to try and hit 4Ghz but it blue screened. I did however get it to 3.6Ghz without problem. my issue is the mobo was making a squealing noise only when oc'd .. when i took it off it was ok. is the nb voltage too high or something?

thanks
 
Some components do this even at their stock settings. My old P5B deluxe did it, my 8800 GTS 512 did it and my GTX 280 does it. It's anoying but nothing to worry about :)
