Phenom || x2 550be oc tips

[RonQ]

Hey there! Looking for some tips on overlcocking my phenom a bit higher.

 

So far i have gotten to 3,7ghz stable with multiplier at 18,5, fsb at 200 and cpu voltage at 1,375. However im having trouble getting anything higher from that and here is where i could use some more tips.

I have tried with lower multiplier and higher fsb and the other way around. Also i have tried upping my cpu voltage all the way to 1,5 without any luck. I usually manage to get 5-15 minutes of occt and then my computer crashes.

 

Motherboard: Asus m4a77td

Processor: Phenom || x2 550be

Ram: DIMM1: A-Data 1 GB DDR3-1333 DDR3 SDRAM (8-8-8-22 @ 609 MHz) (7-7-7-20 @ 533 MHz) (6-6-6-17 @ 457 MHz)

DIMM2: A-Data 1 GB DDR3-1333 DDR3 SDRAM (8-8-8-22 @ 609 MHz) (7-7-7-20 @ 533 MHz) (6-6-6-17 @ 457 MHz)

DIMM3: Kingston 99U5403-002.A00LF 2 GB DDR3-1333 DDR3 SDRAM (8-8-8-22 @ 609 MHz) (7-7-7-20 @ 533 MHz) (6-6-6-17 @ 457 MHz)

Bios version 0313

 

Copied rams from everest.

 

Any tips to get higher would be appreciated.

 

Im also using Noctua NH-U12P

 

Hope i didnt forget anything that is worthwhile mentioning.
