My computer: FIC AU13, 400 watt ps, Athalon xp 2500+oc'd to 2ghz (11x182) 1.65vcore, 2 sticks of 256mb pc2700 ddr333 crucial ram running in dual channel-voltage set to 2.5-timings 8,4,4,3., BFG Assylum 5700 ultra non oc'd, Sb Audigy, Windows xp home sp1.
My computer is very stable at this speed. Temps are 38c and 29c @ load. Ran Prime95 for 11hrs and 3dMark2001 looping for 4hrs. Both ran w/o errors or warnings. Nascar Racing 2003 and Dues Ex 2 are the only 2 games I play at this time and both work fine. I upped fsb to 184 and ran Prime95 for 11hrs and 3dMark2001 for 4hrs, and both ran fine. I started Nascar Racing 2003 and for some reason the graphics have alot of artifacs and eventually it locks up. So I went and upped vcore and ramvoltage 10%(1.80vc and 2.7rv) to see if it would help. The game still has artifacs and still locks up! So then I went and upped fsb to 186 just to see what it would do. the results were even worse. So now ive backed the fsb down to 182 and it runs fine againe.
Has my computer reached its max oc or am I doing something wrong? It is a nforce2 mb and the pci and agp buses are suppose to be separate from the fsb. All of my drivers are current. Do I need to adjust the agp frequency, its set to auto now? Can someone please help me, I want to go way higher but be very stable!
