Hi guys,
I'm realtively new to overclocking. I've always found it fascinating, but at the same time intimidating, So I've been reading up on it as much as possible for quite a while now.
The other day I had an opprtunity to grab a P4 northwood on an msi pm8m-v mobo. I tried experimenting with the bios a little bit, and have it running stable @ 2.479Ghz from 2.40Ghz. and I know thats not much, but when I try to push my CPU/AGP/PCI frequency past 137/68/34Mhz, I start to get BSOD's. I am running stable at 137/68/34 though.
My Bios contains all of these options that look like they may be of interest:
IN CELL MENU:
>Adjust CPU/AGP/PCI frequency
-default
-133/63/33Mhz
-137/68/34
-140/70/35
-142/71/35
-146/73/36
-153/76/38
>Memory Voltage
-2.5V
-2.6
-2.7
-2.8
>AGP Voltage
-1.5V
-1.6
-1.7
-1.8
>Auto-Disable DIMM/PCI clock
-enable/disable
>Spread Spectrum
-enable/disable
IN HW MONITOR:
> Chassis Intrusion
-enable/disable
>CPU SMART Fan Temperature
-enable/disable
IN DRAM CLOCK/DRIVE CONTROL:
>DRAM Clock
-By SPD
-100Mhz
-133
-166
-200
>DRAM Timing
-Manual
-Auto by SPD
-Turbo
-Ultra
>DRAM Command Rate
-1T
-2T
I'm wondering where I should be making changes to try and get a higher stable OC. I'm really interested in this and would like to learn how to OC on this PC before trying it on my more expensive PC. Remember this is my first time so take it easy on me, I promise to listen and be patient, as long as someone gives me good advice to help me learn
