m0 stability

[shortbus_]

im having problems getting my m0 stable above 280fsb.

does anyone have any tricks that i may have missed for someone who is new to pentium like myself?

i tried using clockgen, and i can get to 300fsb with it, but through normal methods cannot even boot at that speed. how does changing my agp/pci bus speed effect my overclock? currently i have it locked at 66/33.

ive seen a lot of people running at 300, and i was just curious as to how you got it stable at those speeds... would lower temps help me? currently on on stock cooling stable @ 280 w/1.6 vcore. 290 is stable for games, but crashes quickly in prime. ( about 5 minutes ).

specs in sig.

That's pretty darn good for stock cooling. I don't see what mobo you are using, maybe listing that will help people give you some suggestions. Personally, I think you need to improve cooling before attempting a higher overclock. Super high FSB requires good CPU cooling, good northbridge chip cooling, and good case ventilation.

i have an ic7... cant beleive i forgot to put that in my sig

sounds good. anyways i have a question about clockgen. i can boot up at 290 easily ( unstable with prime ) then turn it down to 280 with clockgen and its perfectly stable. but when i run something like sandra i get the score for whatever i boot on. seems weird to me :/

When you use clock gen first up your agp/pci just a little. maybe only 1-2 points then try it. Try 2-2-2-6 or 2-3-2-6 as well both are way more stable than 2-2-2-5.

i had it at 2-3-2-6, just needed to update sig

i think ive got it stable at 285 now. passed 8 and 10k prime tests.

Dude,

you need to crank your vdimm and run 5:4. The mushin will run at 225mhz for sure.
