Hey guys, been awhile since I posted....well ive been having a 254fsb wall for AWHILE now on my p4 2.4c ZL3, 4x512mb dual pc3200 corsair twinx ram, abit ic7-g Max 2, Ati radeon 9800 xt (with ati overclock setting turned on). I was running the following settings for the longest:

254fsb
Dram ratio: 5:4
AGP Ratio: Fixed
CPU voltage: 1.575
Ram voltage: 2.8
AGP voltage 1.55
GAT Settings: AAADD
CAS: 2.5-7-4-4

WELL, i finally broke down and bought some OCZ pc4000 DUAL Chan Gold 2gb (1gbx2) Ram. I am currently running the following which seems stable in windows and in games:

275fsb (3.3ghz)
Dram ratio: 5:4
AGP Ratio: Fixed
CPU voltage: 1.575
Ram voltage: 2.8
AGP voltage 1.55
GAT Settings: AAADD
CAS: 2.5-7-4-4

I want to REALLY hit 300fsb, I can get to 250fsb on 1:1 dram raio no problem. Any dieas on what I have to change? Please list your opinions on what all the above settings should be to hit my GOAL. FYI, on my Koolance system, the CPU, North Bridge, Video card, and hard drive all have water cooling blocks. I also have LOTS of fans in the case pulling and pushing air in. Any ideas? thanks!

300 is a tall order sometimes with these 2.4c's.

i would not go over 1.675v actual at all times. i can bench at 3.6, but its not prime stable, and i have to use more vcore than i like.

*edit* what are your temps like? and are you using the 5:4 devider?

As per my specs above, I have only used the 5:4 divider. What should my throw me your suggestions on what i should try, format it like this please so its easy for me and others to pick out:

254fsb
Dram ratio
AGP Ratio
CPU voltage
Ram voltage
AGP voltage
GAT Settings
CAS

EDIT: Currently my CPU is running under normal windows load and is at 48c/118f that ok? Thats with it running at 3.3ghz withthe 275fsb with 5:4 vidier and 1.575volts

that's running too warm for idle temps. i would check to see if your water block is seated properly.

i would leave all the settings alone, and work up your fsb a bit at a time, bumping up the vcore when needed, just stay under 1.675v.

53 full load is OK, but i think it should be running cooler on water, at that overclock. my 2.4c at 3.5 hits about the same while gaming, on air.
