SpDFrek Posted February 18, 2005 Share Posted February 18, 2005 For overclocking that board I would suggest reading the Toms Hardware article on that board. With the DDR 400 memory that you have, your OC will be limited to what the CPU's can do. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
rep Posted February 18, 2005 Author Share Posted February 18, 2005 Okay, this morning this is what I've done so far. the cpu External Frequency (mhz) is at 133 I have moved from the above to 150 mhz to give me 2.849 from 2.533 I then moved it up to 155 mhz to give me 2.944 then I tried 160 mhz to give me 3.040 but it started to act unstable. So I then tried 157 mhz to give me 2.983 but that was still acting unstable. So I'm at 156 mhz to give me 2.964. VCore is at 1.600 Isn't there anything else I should change to boost this up even more. From that website that was noted to me prior I see similiar setup pushing over the 3 mark with no problems. Any more thoughts on how to get more power (juice)!!! Thanks. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
rep Posted February 18, 2005 Author Share Posted February 18, 2005 Okay here is what I have on the bios advanced screen CPU Speed [manual] CPU Frequency Multiple [19x] CPU External Frequency (mhz) [156] AGP/PCI Frequency Setting [auto] CPU Vcore Setting [manual] CPU Vcore [1.600v] AGP Voltage [1.5v] DDR Voltage [2.5v] CPU Level 1 Cache [enabled] CPU Level 2 Cache [enabled] Bios update [enabled] PS/2 mouse function Control [auto] USB Legacy Support [auto] OS/2 Onboard Memory >64M [disabled] I just tried this with a vcore of 1.7 and the system would not boot. What about this CPU Frequency Multiple? Can this field change? Does that help any? What was meant by HSF? I'm not up on all of the short name terms. Increase Memory Timings? How.

rep Posted February 19, 2005 Author Share Posted February 19, 2005 I have another machine doing the following: Okay here is what I have on the bios advanced screen CPU Speed [manual] CPU Frequency Multiple [19x] CPU External Frequency (mhz) [159] AGP/PCI Frequency Setting [manual] AGP/PCI Setting [66/33] CPU Vcore Setting [manual] CPU Vcore [1.600v] AGP Voltage [1.5v] DDR Voltage [2.5v] CPU Level 1 Cache [enabled] CPU Level 2 Cache [enabled] Bios update [enabled] PS/2 mouse function Control [auto] USB Legacy Support [auto] OS/2 Onboard Memory >64M [disabled] This above setup has the Intel P4-2.53 unit running at 3.020 mhz. It is running at about 62 degrees fahrenheit. But my other system which is 99% identical to this machine is only running at 2.864 mhz at about 64 degrees fahrenheit. What else should I do at this point. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
