New To Oc, Need Advice, Help

[scothern]

Okay, Let me say hi first of all. My name is Shawn and I hail form Ohio. Please don't flame as i know I'm a noob.

 

Here is my system....

 

Athlon 64 +3200 (venice core) - CPu

Abit Fatal1ty An8 Sli - Mother board

GeFroce 6200 PciE (64 Mb on board 256MB MAx) - Video

OCZ Platinum Rev. 2 1Gb (2x 512mb) RAM

 

My system runs curretnly at 2Ghz, all set to auto. I know this processor can clock up to 3Ghz and the ram is suposibly very nice and should be able to clock pretty high. How do I crank this puppy up? I want t learn what changes to make where and why but I cannot figure out a good place with the info that explains it as it pertains to my board. I know my shared type video card is a big roadblock but it will have to be that way for a little while till I can afford a new one. Any ideas and suggestiosn would help.

 

Oh yeah 400W PSU, thermal take Bigwate SE liquid cooling, UATA 100 2GB Hard Drive (x2).

 

Thanks in advance.

Welcome, I'm not one to talk to about overclocking but you'll definately see me more in the political forum. Oh, and don't touch the llamas...they hurt.

go into your bios and change the HTT to 4x's and up your FSB in encrements of 5 until it doesn't boot, then come back and ask for more help. I thought I was the only overclocker from Ohio.

3.0ghz is a little optimistic from a 3200+ venice... not impossible (for some cpu's) but certainly not a common oc for a 3200...

 

unfortunately, your motherboard isn't a very good overclocking board... it may well be the root of your oc problems...

i wouldent worry about flaming because OCC is a friendly place (to some extent) unlike many other forums. welcome!

Okay, I had the system up to 2.8Ghz but icannot seem to get it stable. As for not being a good overclocking board, its supposed to be designed for that. What would make it not good for overclocking?

 

What I did was peg out the cpu voltage to 1.75

HT voltage to 1.35

DRAM to 2.9

 

I set the memory to 2-2-2-5 timing at DDR 266 speed.

 

I turned the muliplier down from x10 to x8.5, and I turned the HT Clock speed up to 375

 

the machine booted but windows wouldnt load.

Your doing it wrong. Don't worry about the memory for now. Set your Rig on a divider. Let's try and see what your CPU can do before you OC your memory. Doing two things at once is very difficult to pin-point the problem(s) (if any)....
