HeadOfMax Posted September 6, 2005 Posted September 6, 2005 I got 2.4. when I go 2.45 it works. when I go to 2.5, superpi dies very quickly. I think I need voltage. what do you think? Share this post Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
rok Posted September 6, 2005 Posted September 6, 2005 hmm, Your FSB is 240 but your ram freq is 218? I assume you are not running a 1:1 ratio? Your ram timings seem awful loose for that OC? 1. My question would be have you done in testing and are you stable here? 2. Did you break in your cpu? Share this post Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
fenixco Posted September 6, 2005 Posted September 6, 2005 Definately up the volts, just watch your temps. I was hitting 2.5g stable at 1.5v. Here is my 3200 venice OC'd http://www.dfi-street.com/forum/showthread.php?t=22586 EDIT: you don't show what you are using for CPU cooling.

smolt Posted September 6, 2005 Posted September 6, 2005 fenixco how come your bios screen shows 2501? Share this post Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
fenixco Posted September 6, 2005 Posted September 6, 2005 I used 1/1 for memtesting. I was testing the memory @ 250mhz, not the CPU. The CPU at 250 ruled it out of the test (stability) Share this post Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
smolt Posted September 6, 2005 Posted September 6, 2005 ah yes i do see that Share this post Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Acarrera Posted September 6, 2005 Posted September 6, 2005 HeadOfMax, Lose the PSU as fast as you can and get a recommended one. You must have PSU stability before you start OCing. 24 pin, all 4 board power slots connected, etc. http://www.dfi-street.com/forum/showthread.php?t=10854 Make sure you have adequate cooling. What you think is "ok", probably is not when you increase voltages and fsb. You need to apply more voltage. Read ThunDa's OC guide and check the database to get a feel for cpu and chipset settings.

HeadOfMax Posted September 7, 2005 Posted September 7, 2005 First off, I am on stock air cooling. secondly, I have had this cpu up and running for one and one half month, and I play doom3 alot. Is that a long enough of a break in period? The ram that I have is garbage. Garbage Ram The highest I have seen my temps as of yet are 35C load and usually 26-29 idle. All four power connections are connected, and it is a 24 pin PSU. I definately need a PSU though. and ram. I am taking donations for new ram and psu Share this post Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Thasp Posted September 7, 2005 Posted September 7, 2005 I wasn't able to go above 2.3 GHz stable with prime95 torture test unless I upped the voltage. Going to 2.5GHz with no voltage change is almost impossible. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
