Yet more help with overclocking please!

Hey.

I've recently started to Overclock my PC and I've come across a few problems.

I've been told to lower the RAM to DDR200 which I've done. Then I increased the FSB by 10 each time. Rebooting after each time to see if it would boot properly and it did.....Well, up until 2.4GHz, it got to the Windows loading screen then just restarted each time it tried to load.

Any ideas what I can do to get a higher overclock?

Here's a CPU-Z Screenie so you can see what I've done so far.

Cheers.

Oh actually, that's the stock screenie! I forgot I re-set the CMOS just incase the overclock wasn't right!

you may have to increase the voltage a little bit to make it more stable generally bumping it up a bit makes it work, also make sure the htt is not going over 1000(5x) and lower it to 800(4x).

Yeah i found that HTT was my limit at one time. put it as low as you like because i ran sandra and some games benchmarks and i noticed no difference whatever speed it was at.

some reviews say the performance loss is about 1%. but that is between it running full 1000 and that of it at a lower value, but remember u will be overclocking so any loss will be made up elsewhere.
