Wired Posted December 26, 2004 Share Posted December 26, 2004 Have you ever OC'd that CPU before? If not you may be hitting its limit. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

jdracer47 Posted December 29, 2004 Share Posted December 29, 2004 Sorry dude, but 250 is pretty much out of the 3.0 range. I am currently running the same Ram with a 3.0C and have it clocked to 3.55. 3.6 is about max with stability. Either get a slower processor with more headroom or live with it. DDR 480 is still really good and if you look at DDR 466 latencies they are the same standard as the 500 (3-4-4-8). Different processors aren't always the solution either, I have tried 2 2.8s and neither could hit 250. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
jsteel44 Posted December 29, 2004 Share Posted December 29, 2004 Depends on luck, might get a screamer or a dud. I'm sure theres a few 3.0s that can hit 250 but sounds like yours won't, at least not without a vcore bump. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
mojorisin Posted December 29, 2004 Author Share Posted December 29, 2004 yeah no worries lads it's back to stock at the moment ,i replaced the thermal paste on the hs/cpu after reading an article on dev hardware forum had too much on there so it's runnin a bit cooler 38/39c idle bout 54 under load now was about 43 idle 58 runnin canopus pro coder but the weather has been unusually cool here last few days so see when it gets hot again also I've got a 2.6ghz c 800mhz fsb woodie in another pc so might try that in a cuppla weeks when that pc is not being used ....cheers doods ;): Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
