try with only 4gb's of ram!

but why the hell did you put on C1? downclocking is un-cool...
and run at least 10 laps in burn test to check stability!
You have ram to unlinked right?

I told them to do that but these guy's are not reading the whole post, I said to turn it on and set a low multi so that it would remove their rn CPU as the OC block and once they knew what FSB their boards could reach to go back and turn off all the CPU stuff except for thermal control.
I tried the instant OC and got no where, I went back and did it the old school way and now I am sitting right where I want to be, I have no need for 4.0ghz. 3.6 is plenty and stablility? I just did an install of win7 with my OC engaged and have no issues with the OS.
My fellow overclockers if you can not achieve 4.0 you may just have a mother board or CPU that will not do it, cranking up the volts will only result in a shorter hardware life

Set CPU and RAM to 1600 and 800
HT 1.4
NB 1.4
SB Auto
vcore 1.33125 (if you have pencil modded, without pencil mod, would need like ~1.3625)

have RAM timings on Auto

disable C1 and Speedstep, but leave the rest on

That should get you 3.4Ghz stable. In order to go higher, you will really need to push the HT voltage way up, I am talking like 1.6 and higher, this board really likes high HT volts to be stable.

Ill go to 4gbs and give it a try. I read something about C1 on another site and i guess it confused me. Ill turn it back off

I did read the whole post it wasnt you who made me think I should turn on C1 but thanks for all your help so far




Yea I did the pencil mod. Ive been keeping cpuz vcore as 1.36 Ill try to up the HT but what about the NB? I heard they should be close in voltage?

go4life

yeah, I told him once before to.

old school is the way to go! but I still cant understand why you cant get more than 3.6ghz, its weird! Well at least its something

I tried 4 gigs disabled C1 and put HT to 1.6 the temps were very hot and it crashed in intelburn test pretty fast. I lowered my vcore 1 notch and dropped HT to 1.56 and am running 2 tests to see if it fails if it doesnt Ill run 10.

update - passed 2 of 2 Ill go for 10 now but Im a little worried about the temps it maxed at
77-78-75-76 which is way too hot for me. I think the max its supposed to go is like 71 Obviously Ill lower the voltage to lower temps when im sure its stable but is it ok to run 10 rounds while its this hot?

go4life

burn test can push the system quite hard, those temps should be ok under load in burn test.

but mate you have a HIGH ht!! lower it or kill your cpu fast.

I was told to push the HT. but again I passed 1 out of 10 even at these levels? Whats your suggested volts on what to stabilize? is it impossible to stabilize this speed or something?\

I just crashed at idle so i put HT back to 1.44

I ran intelburn 10 times and passed 6 out of 10 so I guess Im a bit more stable? lemme go recheck my stats and ill brb to post them. oh and my max temps were 69-65-65-65 idle temps are 44-40-37-35

vcore 1.38125
dram auto
HT 1.44
NB 1.44
SB auto
FSB 1727
mem 800
mult 8.5
All ram timings on auto

removed 4gb.

I failed but crashed 2 times in the last 5 mins on idle. Im running vcore 1.36 in cpuz

CrossStealth

Bump this post to the top.

Should I pull out 1 2gb stick of ram? I have a feeling its not my vcore making me unstable

xxicrimsonixx

try with only one stick at a time and run memtest to see what happens... maybe the ram is bad?
