Ok i have tried to read as much as i could about over clocking before i finaly decided to post here. OC is the only thing i never really got into until recently after reading so much about it.
My current rig is set up as follows
XP 2500+ Barton ( stock 1.83 currently 2.0 )
1 gig ( 2X512 mg ) PC 3200 kingston CL3 ram
Asus A7V8X-X mobo
Gainward Geforce 4 Ti 4800 Se 128 mgs ( FX 5900 Ultra 256 mg on its way )
Soundblaster Audigy Gamer
30 gig Maxtor HD 7200 rpm (upgrading this shortly)
WinXP Corperate Edition
Ok now the problem im having currently is this. I can not seem to get my computer to run over 2.0 ghz ( live speed check is more or less 1997 mhz )
Even though in the bios i switch the memmeroy settings from 166/33 to 177/35 it still only shows in windows as 2.0ghz and with wcpuid as 1999.77 with a a 166.65 system clock speed. The multiple is set at 12x so with the current bios settings i should be running at 2124 mhz.
I havent up my vcore yet to test other settings because i havent gotten away from my stock heatsink and fan yet. But if i try a multiple higher then 12 at any clock speed it doesnt wanna boot.
So my question is since i have seen so many people clock these 2500+ up to 2.5 ghz is what are the best settings with the mobo i have to get that type of speed out of this processor. And what would be a good current speed with the stock heat sink and fan?
The case has 7 fans total keeping it cool i have made sure it is evenly coming in and out.
Any suggestions?
