Hey all.
i'm new to this board since I only heard about it today!
I am experiencing some weird issues with my new rig.
I just upgraded from a p3 to a p4 2.4c 800fsb.
I installed an Asus P4P800 Deluxe mobo (400mhz), with 512mb DDR400 PC3200.
I dunno how many of you are familiar with tis particular mobo, but it allows for overclocking in a certain particular way. In the bios, under "jumperfree connection" (I beleive) it allows for the cpu to be set manually, or standard, or overclock 5%-30%.
I've read through the stickies both in this thread, and in the beginners threads, and I understand that it's more of a full system issue when overclocking.. not just the cpu.
I do however believe that with this chip, in looking at benchmarks with this board, and reading several reviews about it, that it should be capable of reaching higher speeds.
So far I've only been able to oc it to 2.53, which caused no instability with windows, but did with certain 3d games.
Every time I've tried to oc above 5% with this mobo, the system hangs.. sometimes right at post.
Are there any other ways that I could oc this machine outside of the bios? I got this board thinking that it was capable of ocing with this processor, but so far it's been very unstable. Just wonderin if I'm stuck at 2.4, or if I can really see what this chip can do.
Thanks!
