hi all, been experimenting with my new phII x3 and have come as far as an uneducated person like me can....i think.

managed to oc my system to 3.5 now and just installed my V.8. cooler master
have gone max on volts with temp not even hitting 30*
still as soon as i fiddle with something anything it hangs

you can see system down under and i really am NEW to this so any insights would be great i just know im doing something wrong. Ive followed all the guides on this site and this is where im up to i know it can preform better just need a little guidance as to how

any help is greatly appreciated.......

You're going to get slammed for using pII instead of PhII..

Max on volts...? Maximum recommended for the CPU or did you max out your motherboard?

 

[morphus1]

cpu is at 1.5v p.s thanks for the heads up
ok i got 3.6 now 200 x 18 same volts
(was 250 x 14)
scratch that i got 3.750 now

with a 220 17 combo

still same volts and only a 2 min orthos
P.s in task manager preformance tab i got red line now never had them b4?
bottomed out

at 3.75 so im back to 3.3)

since you've got a pretty good cooler. try hitting 3.8ghz-4ghz. i suggest you take out that extra kingston ram first. then time your ram manually. add little increments to your northbridge volts and to your ram.

try settings like 212x18, 224x17, 236x16, 248x15.

with those settings, try aiming your ht speed as close to 2000mhz.

here's a good guide:

share us some screenies.

good luck!

This stupid **** needs to stop. Nobody posting in an AMD forum is using an outdated INTEL Pentium TWO.

To the OP: Are you hitting max safe processor volts, or max on your motherboard?
Also, what is your load temp? 30c load or idle?
What are you 'fiddling' with?

I'm not mad at you, I'm mad at the Intel junkies/fanboys coming in here and telling us our acronyms and buzzwords are wrong because of some outdated processor.
You don't see all the ATi guys going to the nVidia forums and saying the 9800 is a rip off of the older 9800 from ATi do you?

Haha your so right...

even at the hardware news section

 

[morphus1]

is it possible i broke my cpu and now it unstable?
plus went for a complete reinstall os and everything now cant validate xp no cd key,
it was on the side of a dell i destroyed.
ps how could i tell if my cpu was broke? i.e not functioning properly?

 

[gerikoh]

not really i think, if it did broke, it shouldnt work, lol

 

[nemesis82]

first take off that extra kingston ram... win xp32 home can only see 3.25/3.5/3.75 GB of ram... optimal oc for 720BE is 3.6 with 1.5vcore... 3.7 is stable with 1.525~1.575 but it will be hot always and always add +~10c with your actual temp just to make sure... Good luck

 

[morphus1]

Wow thanks guys, first of all it was because i was seeing red lines in the preformance tab in task manager that i thought it might be broke. and the overclock, just brought vista home premium (32)

because i lost the cd key for an xp home reinstall, take out the ram ok the 2 kingstons and the most stable oc im gonna get is 3.6? bummer

what if i went and got me a x4? will there be much difference i was kinda hoping for a 4ghz amd with a 4870x2 ati

but ill stop spending money if i cant hit atleast 3.8

 

[gerikoh]

it should hit 3.8. with that v8, you can go as high as 1.55v and just oc that simply by just increasing the multiplier.
