hey guys im at 3.2 stable but freeze at bios screen wenever i try for 3.3 had the vcore at 1.4 and upped the northbridge voltage a couple notchs... Same issue!! Plz help! Pc info in specs

 

[coolwhip]

prolly fsb hole
if you cant get into bios reset cmos
than just up the fsb like 5 more than what your normally put in for 3.3

 

[kingklick92]

so wen it freezes at that xfx screen before bios u think its an fsb whole? Ya ive had to bios jump a few times.. If i can play crysis fer hours @ 3.2 i shood be able to hit 3.4 correct? Also, shood i loosen timings? Ty u so much!

What speed is your RAM at?

 

[kingklick92]

1066 ddr3.. I should hav my memory n cpu unlinked correct?

Try running it at 1:1 so I think that's linked. Try it.

 

[kingklick92]

Can my ram handle that much oc? Do i jus up the ram voltage? Ty guys

well work on your cpu first
up the fsb by increments of 5 or 10
run prime95, or i use orthos, whatever you like better, for like twenty minutes.
If its stable for them twenty minutes.
If its not stable up the vcore a notch and try again.
Once you get to a speed you like run orthos or prime for 8 hours to be 100% stable

ya run memory unlinked

any more questions post back

ty ima test er wen i get home. I understand every cpu is diff, but wat is a good starting point for vcore

 

[x2s3w4]

DDR3 defaults to 1.5v. If your RAM needs more then you must set it manually. Mine needs 1.8v

 

[coolwhip]

you mean wht votls to start ocing with.
your vid.
If you dont know what tht is its the volts tht your processors uses to run at stock speeds.
The lower the better because tht gives more room for oc. since you cant go above a certain number of volts.
dont go over 1.3625 volts on your board (intel specs)

you want to keep vcore as low as possible because like i said before more room for better clocks, and it keeps your temps down

wil i need to bring up my fsb voltage? Or northbridge?

 

[Wahkee]

q8200 is the worst quad core chip on the market (as far as intel goes). I doubt you'll even get 3ghz stable.

 

[kingklick92]

LOL wahke.... im @ 3.2 bro.... trying to get above that stabily and cant cant do it

ya eventually youll need northbridge
don't raise fsb volts because theyre known to kill 45 nm chips
and its never even given me any stability.
It would help you get stable if you had like a 65 nm chip though.
