Hello,

I've got a P4 2.8c on an Asus P4P800 Deluxe with 1024MB (512 x 2) of Winbond PC3200. I've got an Innovatek water cooling system, and I'm really happy with the temps (30c for the CPU and 35c for the case).

I'm not doing too well on the overclocking. I've got the system clock up to 225MHz which gets me 900MHz bus speed and puts me at 3.15GHz. I'm sure it can go faster than that, especially with some expert help.

The RAM is running at 320MHz and the timings are 2-2-2-6, which I'm happy with, but I'd like to be running at 400MHz, since it is PC3200.

Can anyone give me some advice on overclocking a bit more? Realistically, I'd like to be around 3.4GHz or so. Other important factors I should probably mention are the core voltage, which is 1.55V and the AGP/PCI frequency, which is running at 66/33.

I'm not sure where to go from here. Any advice would be greatly appreciated.

Thanks!

up the core Voltage slowly in increments testing at each step. IMO more then 1.75 is bad.

lets see.. if i were u id take out 1 stick of ram. loosen up the timings and find out what the cpu can do.. then put back in the ram. run it with loose timings at 5/4 ratio and start workin the fsb up in increments .that way u know how fast your cpu can go and it justs a matter of tweaking the memory once it fails.. otherwise you introduce too many variable which are hard to eliminate when you are trying for a good balance between the fsb ,memory and cpu... have fun flapperhead

Yes, deffinatly lossen up the settings. Perhaps an updates BIOS? What kind of voltage lines are you looking at?
