help me out here

[odb]

so i plan on overclocking my cpu, and try 3.6ghz. now my ram will do 250 witout a problem, my question is, in order to set the board to 300 fsb, i should set the ram to ddr333 right? for 5:4, which would be 300fsb, 240mem.

 

 

i got a 2.4c m0, corsairtwinx 4000 2x256 (3-4-4-8 @ 2.9v), watercooled cpu, tdx block, mcp600 pump, chevette heatercore, 1/2"id tubing and a mcx159-p on the nb.

 

what steps or bios settings should i use for doing this?

[Angry_Games]

highest i hit was 301FSB 5:4 @ 3-4-4-8 on OCZ PC4400 2x512.

 

2.9v on vdimm

1.6v on AGP

maybe +100mv on cpu overclock (1.535, maybe as high as 1.55v cant remember)

 

i always preferred 1:1 overclocking best

1:1 :eek: oh, is there something else

 

 

 

non 1:1 is just pretending isnt it :nod:

well i tried 1:1 @ 250fsb, and it was no go, it wouldnt even post, it would before i got my 9800xt, i suspect its my psu, im gettin pretty low on the +12v, i got a antec neo power 480 coming soon.

 

 

what other bios settings should i look at to help me do it or be more stable.

3-8-4-4 i use that, more cuz thats what im sposed to use at 250fsb with my ram

 

im running about 244fsb on my 3.2 p4 northwood now which is 3.93 ghz i think

1.6 vcore, 2.8 vdimm (it works fine at 2.7)

locked to 33/66/100

although works fine @ 37/73/100 or whatever it is )

 

im running a 550w enermax psu so yes could very well be your prob

 

good luck
