P4 3.0E on ASUS P4P800 Deluxe OC HELP!!!
First post!
Been a fan of this forum for a while now, and I've been browsing through the site looking for answers for the longest time. Recently I upgraded from a 2.4C to a 3.0E and I ran into a bunch of problems with overheating and weird memory errors. My old 2.4C ran extremely stable at 3.0GHz for the longest time, but now I can't even overclock the 3.0E to more than 3.09GHz without it crashing or giving me a blank screen upon startup. I have tried tweaking with the memory settings, but have had difficulty understanding how the bottleneck of the 1:1 ratio occurs, and how a 5:4 ratio would be better. Also, after the upgrade, Counter-Strike Source is getting an average of 60FPS running 1680x1050. Used to be around 80-90FPS using the 2.4. Not sure what's going on, but any help would be great!
Here is my current hardware configuration:
ASUS Sonata Case 380W Power Supply
ASUS P4P800 Deluxe (BIOS 1019)
P4 3.0E 800 FSB 1MB HT (@ 3.0Ghz)
Thermalright XP-120 @ 120mm Panaflo L1A (Facing upward)
Corsair XMS PC3200 512x2 (TWINX1024-3200C2PT) (2-3-3-6)
BFG Geforce 6800 GT OC 256MB (Running Standard Shipped OC)
Audigy 2 Platinum
Maxtor ATA133 200GBx2
I have a total of 3 120mm fans,one for intake, one for exhaust, and one for the CPU.
Artic Silver 5 has been applied correctly on the CPU chip and heatsink.

For those who have the same hardware as me, these are my current rock solid settings. Anything else will shake it up or make it unstable, so feel free to message me if you try it yourself and find there's little modifications that give a little more ooomph.
Enjoy and happy overclocking!
