Please help me with my Asus P4B533-E settings

Hi,

I got an Asus P4B533-E, P4 2.26, and Corsair XMS 3200 C2 512MB. I've tried overclocking it, but it seems to max out at 168 x17 = 2856. I really wanna hit 3.

CAS 2 (no change)
RAS to CAS 3 ->2
RAS precharge 3 -> 2
Active recharge 6 -> 5
CPU Vcore 1.575v
Ratio 4:3
FSB 168

Any thing I'm missing?

Thanks a lot!

Please don't cross post the same question either all over the forem either

If set the FSB for 1:1 then take the CPU up as high as it will go before it starts getting unstable or blus screens, then you have eliminated the memory as the reason it wont go higher. Maybe thats all the CPU has in her. Its still an alright O/C though. Although my 1.6a does almost 2700mhz hehe.

Space Goat, you're underclocking your RAM.
Instead of setting it at 4:3, leave it to 1:1. If you want 3:4, then you'll to do the DIP switch trick.

Also, why do you set your Vcore at only 1.575v? I do expect better figures if you raise it to around 1.625v.

To hit 3GHz, you'll need an FSB of 177MHz. 177*17=3009.
If you run 3:4 ratio, your RAM goes at 236MHz (472MHz DDR).

But I suggest you leave the ratio thingy at 1:1 and don't meddle with the DIP switch first. If your computer boots and runs stuff stable at 3GHz, then do the DIP switch trick to make the RAM run at 236MHz.
