I recently got a Tornado 12, and can now continue overclocking. These are my current settings:
vCore 1.8
vDIMM 3.0
Chipset voltage 1.8
... which is running at 200 FSB now. I have the DDR DRAM Clock ratio set at "By SPD". Should I run my RAM at a different speed? I have Kingston HyperX PC3000 512MB RAM. You can see all my specs in my sig. I have gotten a top temperature of 3.8 so far... and when the thermal paste settles in it should go down, right?
Also, about the 3dmark03 scores, I actually get a lower score with these current settings at 200 FSB. What is causing this, is this considered "instability?" Suggestions? And also, for some reason it was not detecting the right CPU speed... it said anywhere between 1.6 and 1.9 GHz.
Also, whenever I benchmark with 3dmark03, I close everything in systray and disable auto-protect on my Norton AV 2004. Sometimes, I notice it has become enabled when 3dmark03 finishes. Would Norton alter my score this much? Is there some recommended way to benchmark, with every program but the required ones closed or something?
Thanks for any help.
