EdwardElric Posted May 9, 2007 Posted May 9, 2007 i read all the the guides and tried 2 OC my pc but after OCing it my pc reboots when it reaches the boot screen so can anyone temme whats wrong????In my 1st attempt i took my 3200+ Winchester to 2423Mhz bt it wsnt stable then i tried to run it @ 2328Mhz bt tht also didnt work so i tried 2295Mhz and that also didnt work so i tried 2280Mhz and it was also not stable...currently am running my pc 2.1Ghz but i dont think that u can call this an OC....i'm using the stock HSF and this was my 1st attempt to OC........

Verran Posted May 9, 2007 Posted May 9, 2007 You're doing it exactly the opposite of how you should be doing it. You shouldn't just pick a speed, set it there, and hope for the best. You need to start small. You're at 2.1 right now, and that's good. Yeah, it's not an amazing OC, but it's a start. Now, run some stability tests. If you read the "Essential Software" thread, you'll know all about this. Start with a few runs of SuperPi 1M. Then do 4M and 8M. If those pass, try running the OCCT 30 minute test. If that passes, you're in pretty good shape, and you can probably go a bit higher. At some point, you'll have one of these tests fail. Then, it's time to increase the cpu voltage a bit and try again. The problem is, you're just picking a speed, setting it, and then watching it fail. You're just shooting in the dark. Overclocking is a process. You need to test your chip to find what it's capable of. You can't just plug in the final settings right off the bat. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
EdwardElric Posted May 9, 2007 Posted May 9, 2007 i wasnt picking a speed and setting them...i just tried few diff combinations and got those speeds....will run those stability tests and post back...and ya thanx for replying...btw i tried these combinations:- Memclock Index Value:180Mhz Cas Latency:2.5 FSB Frequency:255,245,240 HT Frequency:3x CPU Ratio:x9.5,x9 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Verran Posted May 9, 2007 Posted May 9, 2007 i wasnt picking a speed and setting them...i just tried few diff combinations and got those speeds.... Right, but that's not really any better. My point is that you shouldn't just jump right to 2.5ghz from 2. You should start at 2, go to 2.05, then 2.1, then 2.15, etc, etc. You can't just expect to plug in your final settings and be done. It takes a lot more testing than that. The trick is to slowly push it upwards. You'll basically end up with something like this (the numbers are made up for example): 2.00 | 1.40v: tests pass 2.05 | 1.40v: tests pass 2.10 | 1.40v: tests pass 2.15 | 1.40v: tests fail 2.15 | 1.45v: tests pass 2.20 | 1.45v: tests pass 2.25 | 1.45v: tests fail 2.25 | 1.50v: tests pass 2.30 | 1.50v: tests pass etc, etc. You can continue to do this until one of three things happen: 1) You don't want to increase the voltage any higher (for your chip, around 1.6v probably) 2) Upping the voltage doesn't help anymore (means you're probably at the chip's limit) 3) Your temperatures are too high (you either need to get better cooling or stop) Also, the trick is to keep the memory on a divider while you do this, so you can just test the cpu. Then, once you find the top for the cpu, you can zero in on the memory. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
