I have a friend with the Asus K8V Deluxe and the AMD 64 3200+. I have been helping him overclock and I need some help with it. First of all his system is:
Asus K8V Deluxe
AMD 64 3200+ cooled w/ thermaltake venus 7+
geforce fx 5600
2x512 Infineon pc3200 (ddr400)
Since the multipliers are locked and i am not looking into soldering the chip we started out with FSB overclocking. I need a few suggestions though. We reached about 210 ok but over that it is unstable and i am unsure why. His temps are fine 40-50c after benchmarking but I just cant seem to keep stability beyond that. We did similar before but upped the VCore voltage for more stability but his stock PSU blew. I am not sure that the extra voltage was helping stability
What I was wondering was what are the limitations here?
1) Is there a pci/ agp lock on this mobo? (I searched site and have a feeling there isn't)
2) Where is the cpu / mem ratio? (Bios Verson = 1.005 beta)
3) What are all the voltages (Vdimm, Vlink etc.) cause the only one I am familiar with is VCore. I especially need to know which one is the memory.
4) Is the ram being overclocked the issue (I ask this because he has 2 sticks and he let someone else borrow one. Then his system would not boot with 210 fsb. put it back in and it booted. took it back out wouldn't boot [interesting discovery])
any help on this would be great!
I appreciate it alot and ocforums.com RULES!!!!!
