I've been trying to get my rig overclocked to 2.5 & stable on air. And I seem to have hit the wall. On my current settings listed below, it runs 2.5 great. I checked for mem errors with memtest, no errors after 30 min. I ran Burn in on Sandra, using the cpu arithmetic & cpu mulit media benchmarks for 10 runs. Temps started @ 24 mobo/43 cpu, ended @ 25 mobo/44.5 cpu. Ran great. I ran PCMark 2002 benchmark. Got cpu/7379, mem/4726, hdd/1307. All without any overheating or any other problems. But when I run Prime 95...it stops the test in less than a min. On the vcore voltage, I know that it should be higher...like say around 1.9v, but when I start raising the voltage much higher than 1.8v, it crashes & freezes up. I tried seeing what the max fsb is, by dropping the multiplier down to X5, the best I could get was 219 fsb. Any sugestions on what to try to get this thing a little more stable @ 2.5? Thanks! Here's my rig:
1700+ Tbred B DLT3C 0319
NF7-S rev2.0 BIOS 1.8
SLK 900-U w/Artic Silver Cemetric
Smart Fan II on hs @ max rpm's
WD Raptor 36gig SATA
GeForce 4 Ti 4200 64mb X8
512 Corsair XMS PC 2700 mem timings: 8-4-4-3.0
Lite On cd burner 52x24x52
6 case fans
Antec True480 psu
Here's my settings in BIOS:
218 fsb / X11.5 multiplier / 1.8v vcore / 2.9v DDR SDRAM voltage / 1.6v Chipset voltage / 1.5 AGP voltage / CPU Interface Disabled (I tryed both disabled & enabled...couldn,t tell any difference)
