Hi all
Fairly new to overclocking (enjoying it so far ) and just wanted to post where i've got with it so far, and hoping some of you could guide me along.
Settings in CPU-Z:
BIOS settings (need any other info?):
CPU clock ratio: x18.5
CPU NorthBridge frequency: Auto
CPU Host Clock Control: Manual
CPU frequency: 200
HT Link Width: Auto
HT Link Freq: Auto
CPU Voltage Control +0.050v = 1.4000v
Right as far as i know, i havn't made any alterations to the RAM (still at 667Mhz and stock volts)
Im currently at 3.7Ghz, i ran memtest86+ for 8 hours, and it came back as passed. 20 cycles of intel burn at maximum, and 12 hours in prime95 (in place large FFTs)
Going by what i've read i think i can assume its some what stable as it is (correct me if im wrong!). I've only altered the clock ratio, and voltage control so everything else SHOULD be at stock settings. I get full load temps at 50(usually)-51/2oc, idles at about 34oc.
When i increase the clock ratio to 19 (loads Windows) and run intel burn, my whole screen goes blue mid test, not the "blue screen of death" blue, more like a solid blank light blue page, and it seems as though the processor is still working away at this point, but i have to power off and on to get into windows again. I had this problem originally when at 18.5, but i upped the volts +0.050v (to 1.4) and it seemed to have worked. However i don't think its a good idea to up the volts any more? so wondered if theres another way to tackle the problem, or if i've hit what i've read as 'the wall'
Any help/guidance will be much appretiated
thanks
