hi all..............i just picked up a new 2.8 c (not new stepping sorry)
and im currently running it at 3.3 stable..............i was hoping to maybe get 3.4-3.5 but it seems i cant get it...................im hoping that i have some setting wrong or someting so maybe u can help me out.
i guess all u need 2 know is my mobo and memory
my rig is and IS7.........corsair 3500.........
my timing are very loose and im running 5/4 ratio so my ram is running 190ish
my temp are in the 40's constant


any advice would be greatly appricated................have a nice holiday guys!!
 
Three things that I'll mention and maybe you already done these: 1) update your BIOS, 2) set the PCI/AGP to "fix" (33/66), and 3) disable the last 2 GAT settings.
 
Let me show you my setting see if it helps.

CPU: Intel Pentium 4 2.8C @3.64G (1.75v), FSB=260
MB: Abit IC7-G
RAM: Kingston HyperX PC3500 512MB x 2 (BH5) @ 2-2-2-6 (2.8v), 5:4, GAT: A/A/A/A/A

i have latest bios and i have it fixed............this will be n00bish but what are the last gat settings???

thanks for ur help
 
your RAM running 190? its pc3500 it should do a lot more :/

if batboy's advice didnt work, did you try upping vCore?
 
well at 3.4 not %100 stable...............crashed in unreal 2003 and savage.................dunno maybe proc just sucks............any other suggestions would be helpful..............by the way my vcore is 1.575................should i up it
 
Nick, what is your stepping? I have an SL6WT that I haven't been able to get above 230FSB. From what I've heard 3.4-3.5 is probably as good as you can hope for on air.

I have a 2.4c M0 that I have so far been quite successfull with, so probably haven't given enough time to the 2.8 yet. Maybe some burn-in time will help?
Anyway, I would try upping the Vcore. Keep going until you get to 1.7 or are stable.
 
i have sl6wt stepping.............i guess i could up my vcore a lil more or just be happy with 3.3 heheheheh



thanks
