I just got my OCZ gold pc3700 today and when I try to OC my fsb up to 250 or change the fsb:ram ratio to 5:4 the system will hang on hyperthreading enabled. Ive got the cpu at 1.525v and ram at 2.7v @ 2.5-7-3-3. Ive had the system higher with corsair pc3200, but thought I would be able to get higher on OCZ gold, but I cant seem to get by 3Ghz.
I'm still unable to get by the hyperthreading message even with it disabled. Anything around 250FSB will cause it to just sit there at the message wether it is enabled or disabled. It just started this when I put the new ram in, I thought it would help me get faster fsb, but now I can't even get as high as I could with Corsair PC3200.
I ran memtest86 on each stick and it had no errors, but I only let it go through one pass; should I have it go through more to see if there is something wrong with the memory?
I changed the timings to the rated 2-7-3-3 and the voltage to 2.8v, even the fsb:dram ratio to 5:4 and 3:2 and that wouldn't help it either.
Even with GAT settings at: auto, normal, auto, disable, disable the CPU will still just sit at the Hyperthreading message once I get to 255FSB @ 5:4 with cas2.5-8-4-4@ 2.8v, Ive had my vcore as high as 1.7v and it will still lock up at 255FSB.
An earlier try with 3:2 and all GAT on default and ram at cas2-7-3-3 @ 2.8v default vcore; allowed me to get up to 270FSB and would then lock up on hyperthreading.
I also have tried a 5:4 cas2.5-7-3-3 earlied with 2.8v and stock cpu voltage with GAT on defaults and was able to get up to 250FSB and then it would lock up on hyperthreading.
I am starting to think I have a bad P4 and that 3Ghz is as high as I will be able to go I'm not sure what the package date is though I dont have the box anymore; but I purchased it from Googlegear on 7/1/2003.
Should I just try 5:4 with cas3-8-4-4 @ 2.8v with and continue to increase my vcore; or will it hurt the cpu to go over 1.7v?
