Quest for 4ghz continues

[barnz0432]

Ok after doing some testing I had my cpu set at 10% oc and it passed prime95 fine. I wanted more power so I tried it at 20% and it boots fine but prime 95 didn't last a whole minute !! I just tested at 3.6 on prime95 with ram set at 400 and timings set to auto and fsb to 225 multi at 16x. It lasted for 38 min!!!

Would it help to set the multi down a bit and try for higher fsb?

Also with my card I hit optimum freq and its at 465 and 1175!
I am still deciding to try to go higher.....

Any advice on how to get my 3.2e to sqeeze out a little more??



STILL on HL2 I cant get it to run smooth no matter what I do !!!!
I downloaded it from Steam is that part of my troubles?


HELP would be great!!
or just tell my what you think

Thanks

Maybe you need to reformat you computer...yours should run HL2 fine.

did you try upping the voltage?
and prior to having your ultra, did you have an ati card?

up voltage, cool mosfets, cross fingers, watch temps. the rules of pressie OCing :attn:

Tried bumping the volts to 1.55 and the fsb to 238 now im at 3.8ghz! I ran prime 95 it only went to 7min im getting a little better.....

Whats the best thing to do keep messing with the volts??

Whats up barnz! dang there is something definately wrong here :shrug: but thats what we are here for!! OOO I THINK THE LIGHT JUST TURNED ON!!!!! set ram timings to 3-4-4-8-8 in your bios, vcore to 1.4, FSB at 240, and watch your baby POSTT and BOOTT!!!

the cool thing is our systems are almost identical... except your mobo is better, and your proc is .2 Gigz faster... Check out my sig - I was able to hit 4gigz the other day, this is what I did.. VCore - 1.4; DDR 266; mem timings 3-4-4-8-8; 270*15.. i think thats it, any questions PM me!!

dont worry about ur multiplier.. if youre getting blue screen you can start tweakin at your ram voltage, vcore voltage, fsb........... any1else with ideas???

[barnz0432]

What are your ram volts set at??

Also do you run half-life 2?

if so what settings and does it ever slow down.

I downloaded mine off steam and I can't get it to run smooth at all no matter what settings I try default or even lower !!!

i havent played hl2 on my new rig. i have not messed with ram voltage either.. nfsu underground looks bad ass though

[itchy5]

set your ratio at 4:3 or 5:4 i think you forgot to fix your ram ratio, ddr400 doesnt work for OCing unless its Winbond, TCCD or BH5 :attn: i doubt your ram is any...
