When I first started Overclocking awhile ago I was able to get my cpu from stock of 3.06GHz to 3.55GHz. But, after I upgraded my video card from a FX5200 to a 7600GT my overclock dropped down to were it is now (3.41GHz). I thought it was just my not so good psu. But, today I got my Sunbeam NUUO 550, and I still can't get past 3.41GHz.....
I've tried setting a divider, upping my North bridge voltage, increasing my VDIMM voltage, and I've increased my Vcore voltage and still nothing. Does anyone have any suggestions on how I can get a higher overclock?

Are you locking your video bus speeds?

Wilson

Yes, my PCI-E, and PCI bus speeds are locked

Have you tried putting the old gfx card back in to see if you can get back the higher OC? What happens with the new card? Instability?

Wilson

Well, I don't have the old FX5200 because I killed it (didn't lock my pci bus speed :|). I have an X700 that I have used and I still cannot get past 3.41GHz even with the X700 in.....
