3200 64 90nm overclock

i think its time for me to start overclocking this bad boy to break the 20k barrier

my ram is currently at 200mhz in dual channel.

timings are

2.5 4 4 8

my fsb is stock at 201 fsb

voltage is stock and it varies from around 1.422 and around there

if i pushed my fsb to 220 and left my ram completely alone

whats the worst that will happen?

any tips?

i dont want to lower my ram to 166mhz because that would make it slow and sucky.

at 200mhz my ram gets almost 5000 in benchmakrs tests

Yeah, don't jump to 220 right away.

First run everything at stock, but leave nothing on Auto. Make sure you can run Prime at that. Then start pushing the HTT (FSB in the bios), and keep testing with prime.

What week do you have?

i just put it up to 203 so its running at 2030 right now.

how do i find out what week?

too late now, i already had it in for a while. dont feel like taking it out but i recieved it in the middle of december so i guess its pretty new.

brand new stock at newegg to. just restocked that day

btw increasing my fsb to 203 raised my score in 3dmark by 10 points

203FSB... you dare devil!... LOL - try ease your mem timings and take her up some.

Thats why I recommend pushing the ram first. Make a log, then at whatever FSB you are at, you can set the ram accordingly.
