potseeker Posted February 24, 2007 Posted February 24, 2007 I'm getting the itch to push my overclock higher but I don't want to just throw more volts at the cpu (1.67v@2952MHz) it seem to me thats already high for the overclock but temps are all good and system is stable cpu can reach 47c during prime a few less when gaming and idle temps less than 30c. Memtest 8hr no errors but I believe some tweaking of secondary settings might yield a higher clock I'm posting my bios settings any help greatly appreciated.

wizurd of awwz Posted February 24, 2007 Posted February 24, 2007 that's some serious watercooling lol Share this post Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Syngensmyth Posted February 24, 2007 Posted February 24, 2007 Water bill aside, have you tried to search similar setup in the OCDB I found someone with similar to my setup and it helped me. I noticed your LDT is 4 and Ram is 1:1. Just made me think there may be other options. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
potseeker Posted February 24, 2007 Posted February 24, 2007 If I understand correctly with FSB set at 246 and LDT set at 4 keeps my HTT under 2000...the ram will run 264 MHz but I will have to raise or lower my clock to utilize that speeds...correct??.. new at this overclocking fun.

Coors Posted February 24, 2007 Posted February 24, 2007 Yes, at your current speeds you would want to keep a LDT of 4. You will probably never even need to lower it to three with a x12 multi. Have you tried just increasing the FSB by 4 mhz and see if it will run orthos? Edit: Or even just increasing it by 1 mhz at a time to see how far you can get.

Syngensmyth Posted February 24, 2007 Posted February 24, 2007 True but I should have been great with 4 and the ocdb I found had 3 with not 1:1 and looser timing. I'm not smart enough to know why, I just followed it and it worked. If I were smarter, I may have thought that with 3 and 9/10 I had more latitude with multiple and FSB but now I'm getting beyond myself. You have a great OC by the way. Are you stable? You are so close to that magic 3 gig I can see why you want it (just for fun). Share this post Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
potseeker Posted February 25, 2007 Posted February 25, 2007 I've not tried Orthos but I know just 1 MHz increase FSB and Prime will fail after 3-4 hours..my last increase in volts from 1.65 to 1.67 allowed 2MHz more FSB and know change in temps... so increases in voltage so far have allowed small gains...

Coors Posted February 25, 2007 Posted February 25, 2007 Orthos and prime are basically the same thing. But if it fails after 3-4 hours I would think that it failed because of not enough voltage. I really doubt it is your timings stopping you from going further. And increasing the voltage any more would be a decision you would have to make seeing as how you voltage is already kinda high. Even with good temps too much voltage can kill a cpu. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
potseeker Posted February 25, 2007 Posted February 25, 2007 Just what I want to avoid killing it with to high of voltage thats why I decided to post this first... I thought I had read in other threads that working the memory controller to hard could limit a overclock... Share this post Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Peanut2001 Posted February 25, 2007 Posted February 25, 2007 Sounds like you have hit your cpu's wall since the last voltage increase only yielded a 2 Mhz bump. Nice setup btw. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
