nf7-s and 2500 Barton max question
Hello! I am using Hoots guide to o/c a computer, and have hit the wall at 2.3Ghz.
My only changes are the external clock is at 208. Any advice with a way to go faster? Total newbie here, so no volt mods are going to work! (me with a soldering iron is a bad thing!)
At 2.3Ghz, I seem to be stable, temps below 50 with a burn in using SiSandra.
any help would be greatly appreciated! (and thanks again Hoot for the post)
CPU Operating Speed: User Define
External Clock: 200
Multiplifier Factor: 11
AGP Frequency: 66
CPU FSB/DRAM Ratio: 6/6 or 5/5
CPU Interface: Enabled
Power Supply Controller: User Define
CPU Core Voltage: 1.65 or 1.675 to be safe
DDR SDRAM Voltage: 2.7 (gives 2.8 at the socket)
Chipset Voltage: 1.7
AGP Voltage: Default
Advanced Chipset Features
Memory Timings: Expert
Row Active... : 11
Ras to Cas... : 3
RAS Precharge... : 3
CAS Latency... : 2.5
System Bios Cacheable: Disable
Video Ram Cacheable: Disable
CPU Thermal Throttling: Disable
Enhance PCI: Enable
CPU Disconnect: Disable
AGP Transfer: What your card supports 2x, 4x, Auto if you dont know
AGP Fast Writes: If you card supports it then Enable.
Other good points:
If you don't use IR, then disable it.
If you don't use SATA, then disable it.
If you don't use the Parallel Port, then disable it.
If you dont use MIDI, then disable it.
If you dont use the embedded LAN card, then disable it.
If you don't use the embedded Audio, then disable it.
If that runs stable, then consider tightening up the memory timings slowly, say 2-3-3-11, if stable then 2-3-2-11, if stable then 2-2-2-11. If the original settings are not stable, you may have to use a little more Vcore to start off.
