HI!
First, It's my first post on this forum, So I want to say Hello to everybody.
Second, My english is not very good so i'll do my best to explain myself.
Now the Problem:
I Just Finished Build up my new rig (I suppose you can see the specs from my profile) I installed Windows with all the last driver without any problem. Everithing work fine, I can play games, record music etc. So I decide to Overclock to get the max performance from my hardware.So I go in the bios(1009) and start tunning things. Here are my Bios configuration.
Jump free config.
cpu fsb freq. 250
sb to nb freq. 200
PCI-E freq. 100
PEG link mode: disable
OverVoltage .... all 4 option at Disable
DDR Vcore: 2.8V
FID/VID manual
CPU requency multiplier 10x
CPU voltage 1.425 - 1.5 (tried both)
Memory settings:
Memclock Mode Limit
Memclock Value: 200
cas: 3
tras: 8
trp: 3
trcd: 3
(as specified by ocz for those stick of memory)
Chipset Configuration:
K8 to NB freq. 4x
K8 to NB linkwidth 16 up 16 down
SB to NB freq. 4x
SB to NB linkwidth 16 up 16 down
ok So now I test those settings. I've tested Memtest86 for about 2 hours and no error were reported after that i put my cpu to the test with prime95 for an other 2 hour with no problem and i was monitoring the temperature at the same time and it never go over 45 degree celcius for the CPU and 48 For the board. So I stop Prime95 (I wanted to try a GPU benchmark before stress test my CPU for 24 hour) and I sarted 3DMark05 and than the problem started. My pc froze instantly, ctrl-alt-del stop the process try with NFS Most Wanted the same thing append.
So i reboot and try to change some settings in the Bios but i never found nothing that fixe's the problem.
I noticed that my video card frequency at idle was stange... Usualy my clock speed at idle are 275Mhz clock,1000Mhz memory and Vcore set to 4 but when I overclock the idle specs are 405Mhz, 1012Mhz memory and the Vcore set to 6.
So my tought are that when I overclock my Fsb my PCI-E bus overclock to. Because everyting work fine exept for the 3D application. So I try to set PEG Link mode to auto,Normal and disable I also try to put 201 at Nb to Sb frequency and also 101 to PCI-E frequency ( I read that some motherboard have to be set like this to lock the PCI-E frequency) But it does'nt work.
Now i'm a bit confuse because I tried so much different things that I read about in other forum and web page. For now i'm running the PC at stock speed exept for the memory timming (2-3-2-6 at 400Mhz) and it works really great. But I would like to overclock the system to 2.5 GHZ and have my memory set at 500Mhz like it is suppose to be.
I'm open to all of your sugestion!
Ps: Sorry for the long Post!
