hi all,
still attempting a safe, modest overclock with my e4300 on a ds3 with geil ultra 1gb. sorted the ram timings out last night thanks to somebody on the forum and managed to a get a clock speed of 2.16GHz. problem is it runs fine on small fft priority 4 on orthos but as soon as i try 5 it lasts about 7 seconds before orthos starts freezing. is this a stable overlock? what could possibly have been done wrong. i followed the guide in the motherboard section on overclocking a DS3 exactly. i dont know why the hell it said to raise vcore up to 1.45 though. since i wasnt going to go anywhere near 3ghz i left iy stock and just set cpu overvoltage control to +0.1V. anyone have any thoughts on this? much appreciated
oh yeah another thing. i did some rubbish overclock the other day when i didnt know what i was doing and the system didnt even manage to get to boot screen. kept dying before it could even boot. a friend of mine said thats the motherboard not liking your settings and it reset itself back to stock which it did. i was wondering whether i can use this as an insurance policy in that if i screw up somewhere and potentially could damage my system, the motherboard will sort it all out for me?
