Hello World.
Hope this is in the right spot.
I'm brand spanking new to OCing (I've had nothing but a Toshiba Laptop for the past 3 years) and am having a ton of fun finding out my system's limits.
My Build:
Cheap Radimax Case
AMD Athlon 64 X2 7750 Kuma 2.7GHz Socket AM2+ 95W Dual-Core
Kingston HyperX 2GB 240-Pin DDR2 SDRAM DDR2 1066 (X4)
JetWay JHA07-ULTRA-LF AM2+/AM2 AMD 790GX
OCZ Stealth Extreme 700w PS
Cheapo 2600 ATI GFX
Stock system is 200 x 13.5 for 2700 GHz. CPU
5-5-5-15 @ 2.25 volts @ 1066 for ram.
Because i've been running the ram at 1066 the system is not entirely stable. I know some of you will hate this, but it ran smooth for an hour, so I left it as 200 x 14 for 2800 Ghz. 5-5-5-18 @ 2.25 volts @ 1066 for the ram.
If I take the cpu up to 15x (3Ghz) with no changes it BSOD's after 3 seconds of orthos (on the dot). If I drop the ram to 800 or 667 it still fails after 3 seconds.
My MB can take 235 bus speed at max, any higher and it wont post, literally at 240 it wont post.
I need help, I want to run at 3.0Ghz, maybe 3.2Ghz. I haven't touched voltages yet but i've been hesitant to do so. I spent some times last night and i'm currently running this fine. It made my 1 hour of orthos initial test:
Btw stock HT link is 1800 and ram is currently at 900Mhz (doh!) 5-6-6-18 in ganged mode.
I know Orthos needs to run longer, I also know that running 8gig's of ram on has been known to increase instability. Ram runs very hot, would I been fine droping the voltage down to 2.0 (ish) and of course fixing the timings?
Any help would be greatly appreciated. Also feel free to point out all the things I am doing wrong!
Hope this is in the right spot.
