ok is has been 30 mins. i raised it 100 first time and windows booted so i decided to do it more. at 4100 my computer wouldnt start :blink::blink::blink:

 

so i removed the battery for like 3 seconds and my computer still wouldnt start :O:O i removed it again for like 10 seconds and my computer started yay! i went to 4100 again and raised voltage to 1,47. i dont remember what was happening next but last time i raised it 300 to 5300 and my computer wouldnt start. i raised voltage to 1,62 and raised it to 5100. then i decided to be careful going 10 at a time.

 

so my max is 5130 megaherz and temperature went up from -80C to -10C.

 

is that good or not? this is my first time :)

A 1.5GHz overclock is pretty insane if you ask me! Especially since you just..... whacked it right up there.

 

Things holding you back could be RAM. You said you went right up to "300" and it wouldn't boot. Without playing with your RAM at all..... I don't think it's going to get to 300MHz FSB very easily. Have you got that on a divider? Maybe try different timings?

 

Also try lowering the CPU voltage until it gets unstable again :P Then bump it back up a notch. Just so you're not putting unneeded volts through it! Well, I do that anyway.

ya thats a good oc!

 

i got to 2.5ghz on my cpu from 1.83 but now my rams dying very very fast (and its not heat voltage or mhz) so i can only get 2.22 ghz out of it... i just need new ram.

 

Get better ram and you will get a better overclocker
