Help Overclocking Venice 3800+

[RoyArnon]

Hi, I'm pretty new to overclocking. I bought computer about a year ago, meant to over clock, started a bit with no luck, and gave up. Now, I've decided to try again (because I just bought a new nVidia 7900 GTO ), but with no luck.

I've tried following the overclocking guide in the sticky in this forum, but no luck - I can't even boot to windows with anything. I mean, I would at least expect it to get to windows at 210 instead of 200, but nope.

So, I've decided I need some help from the experts . My system is as follows:

 

LANPARTY NF4 Ultra-D with 704-bta2 bios
AMD 64 3800+ Venice
2GB OCZ Platinum Rev 2 3200 (4x512mb)
ATI Radeon X800XL (for now, the 7900 GTO will arrive soon)
Audigy 2 ZS PCI
Maxtor 6Y160P0 160GB ATA133
Seagate ST3300831A 250GB ATA100

 

My mem settings are as recommended in this thread:

with the exception of CPC, which is set to disable because I am using all 4 slots.

 

As I said, I can't get to even 210 following the guide. I've tried lowering the ram according to the settings recommended in a different OCZ thread:

http://www.bleedinedge.com/forum/showpost....074&postcount=7

and then lower the DRAM to 100, and then follow the guide, but still no go.

 

Any tips on how to even start?

change ur timings to 2t. 1t does not work actually i'm surprised that it booted up at 1t command 4 sticks needs to run at 2t

I used to have the same CPU, and just two sticks of the same memory. I was able to run it at 270 x 10, 1T - without a problem. That memory is super fast, but with 4 sticks, you will have to run it at 2T.

As I wrote in my post, I have changed the timings to 2T:

That is 2T. Anything else I can do?
