Just built this system. I've always just gone with Intel boards and didn't worry about overclocking. However, I'd just like to get this these 4 cores back up to 3.0 gigs where my old P4 had been with just one core. I've read a great deal, and most overclockers think this combination should easily get to 3000 by just upping the FSB to 333. I can only get it to 310 with no increase in voltages. Above 310, it simply will not post.
I've tried bumping my memory timing to 1.85 (from 1.8), and raising the MCH to 1.29v. It still will not get to 320 FSB. So, I tried bumping up the CPU voltage. With these settings, I've tried bumping my CPU voltage to 1.285, and the system will not post.
There are so many different voltage settings, I don't know the best order to bump them up--and by how much to raise them. Also, I understand some cpu's overclock better than others, so maybe I'm maxing out. Before I totally mess this up, I thought I'd better ask for help.
Thanks!
