Aikon Posted September 20, 2004 Posted September 20, 2004 I have a 2.8 Northwood CPU, I want to set the FSB to 250 and the divider to 320. I can only get up to 3.3 Ghz anything more and windows refuses to load. My CPU core voltage is 1.55 and the DIMM is 2.6, I have the lock set at 33/66/100. Geil Golden Dragon PC3200 1GB 420 watts PSU Lanparty 875B revision B 2.8 Northwood 120 GB Maxtor Diamond Plus x2 What can be the problem, I used to be able to do 3.6 with my 8KNXP, I thought the Lanparty is the best OC?

Angry_Games Posted September 20, 2004 Posted September 20, 2004 it is the best overclocker...but that doesn't mean you are just going to get it to overclock by the force of your willpower google up some tips on overclocking...theres so many factors involved in overclocking that it would take me pages to put them all out there to you. try some juice to your AGP (which also controls vdd voltage) and vdimm. turn off System Bandwidth and set timings up a little looser etc http://www.angrygames.com/I875B.htm Share this post Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Aikon Posted September 20, 2004 Posted September 20, 2004 i'll try 1.6, but sometimes in 3.3 i get into windows then it locks, and sometimes it barely goes in, it gives me that safe mode, safe mode with networking crap Share this post Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Angry_Games Posted September 20, 2004 Posted September 20, 2004 P4 chips dont need a lot of voltage, they arent anything like AMD's cpu's. ive easily killed overclocks from too much cpu voltage (cuz im sometimes thickheaded thinking they are just like AMD cpus).

Aikon Posted September 20, 2004 Posted September 20, 2004 ok, i get into bios with 3.50 ghz and the ram at 320 mode, succesful memory test but when windows loads gives me the safe mode, safe mode with networking and last good configuration screen. I usually solve this problem by choosing start windows normally. But when i do this at 3.50ghz it locks at the screen and at 3.3 boots into windows Share this post Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Angry_Games Posted September 21, 2004 Posted September 21, 2004 you'll just have to tweak around with it until you find the settings it really likes not all boards, even ones off the same production batch, are created (nor perform) equal...tho usually within a range Share this post Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
