robin hood Posted January 1, 2007 Posted January 1, 2007 I have a problem with the overclocking. Whenever i try to put my fsb over 220, no matter what settings I get the raid array error. is there anyway to fix this? Its really annoying, and even at 220FSB i get BSOD's, and i have 1.55v+104%... what is causing this? Share this post Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
old_geekster Posted January 1, 2007 Posted January 1, 2007 Welcome to the "Street", robin! I would put my money on your PSU. The minimum requirement for DFI boards is 480W. I believe that this could even be too low for today's components. Read the list of recommended PSU's. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

gadugger Posted January 1, 2007 Posted January 1, 2007 I had a 3400 that maxed out at 2.6 It could be that you are pushing more than it wants. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
mothow Posted January 1, 2007 Posted January 1, 2007 On NF3 chipsets only the 3 and 4 ports have locked busesTtry putting your HD on these ports that should solve your problem.If your already using the 3 and 4 try 1 and 2..It really sounds like your using unlocked ports because 220 is about were most people start having trouble when overclocking with sata or sata raid arrays Share this post Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Maarek_Stele Posted January 1, 2007 Posted January 1, 2007 If that's an old CO clawhammer, most probably ~2.4 will be it's limit. Some newer CG can go near 2.6 or above, but sometimes with tons of voltage. Usually they max out at 1.7v, but I wouldn't do that on air 24/7, but up to 1.65v with proper cooling is safe for these .13 parts. Try lowering htt mult to 3x, relaxing max assynch latency and read preamble to something high as 9/7 for starters. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

gadugger Posted January 1, 2007 Posted January 1, 2007 i saw a CPUz screenie... i trust him too. That may have been a suicide shot. I can get this chip to boot at 3.2ghz but its not good for doin anything except for grabbin a quick screenie. I run 24/7 at 3ghz but this isn't a 3400. The 3400 that I passed on to a family member ran at I think it was 2640 and that was with the lid removed and under water. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
gadugger Posted January 1, 2007 Posted January 1, 2007 I was just lookin at the 754 overclock database and it looks as if the majority of 3400 were hittin about the same as my 3400. Thunda has one at 2.7 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
