G'day from Australia everyone.
Ok, so I'm trying to boost up my new system, so far having limited success. Heres my hardware;
P4 3ghz C
Abit IC7-G with BIOS revision 1.14
1gig of Corsair XMS TWINX PC3200LL
Ati 9700 Pro
Audgy 2
SATA RAID 0
550watt psu, aluminium case, Intel HSF
So far Im running;
FSB 215.4 MHz / BUS 861.5 MHz / CPU 3230.6 MHz with 1.575v into the CPU, Dual Channell DDR 2.7v, memory 2-3-3-6 in Street Racer chipset mode
Temps under max load are system 28c, cpu 61c, PWM 49c this is with two sessions of prime95 for a few hours.
Ive orded an all copper Zalman with the 92mm fan and some artic silver which should arrive shortly. This should help with the CPU cooling a bit.
Memory timings og 2-3-2-6 are unstable at these FSB speeds, so Im using 2-3-3-6. Now if I ditch Street Racer mode and go for Turbo, I can get another 1mhz up on the FSB. Ive settled back to the 215fsb on Street Racer mode as that gives a better score in the sisoft memory benchmark.
I tried dumping the memory down to 3-4-4-8 and running 230 FSB - failed post. 225 FSb failed post. 220 FSB failed post. Gave up, went back to 2-3-3-6 on 215 FSB.
Putting 1.65v into the CPU seems to make no real difference.
Im not one of these people who can live with a flakey overclocked system. I have to be able to run Prime95 in dual mode for hours, same with 3dmark03 in loop mode for hours.
Im running AGP 3x, fast writes and side band addressing enabled.
Im only prepared to do air cooling. Is this all that I am going to be able to get?
I feel a bit stumped with what to do now, and I would appreciate experienced people offering help. Thanks.
