overclocking on new mobo

nexolus · 12-12-2007, 05:35 PM

k so I was overclocking and going by temps on everest, but i was getting like 10C for my cpu which i knew was wrong. well my mobo is the new x38 so i opened the AI suite and it's around 30C which sounds better. here is a pic of speedfan, let me know if i should keep going:

I'm running prime95 right now with my Zalman 9700 fan going at 2/3 speed and it isn't going over 42. I tried putting the bus at 265 and it crapped out, should i up the voltage?

Did you overcloced your voltage? If not then do so.

in the bios at VCORE it says [auto] so i checked it and it says it was at 1.312 so i put it at 1.337 (lol leet) and it still didn't work. should i be putting it at 1.337 or just putting .025 as the increase? should i try it on 1.350

in the manual it says it goes by increments of .00625 so i guess i'll try that...

Yep, try it. But don't overdo it. Try it step by step. But, if you see that the CPU is at is limit, then stop.

well i put the vcore at 1.4 with 270 bus. it posted and everything, but the windows loading screen never came up. what does this mean?

nexolus · 12-13-2007, 10:32 PM

and in bios i set the DRAM frequency to 818MHz and under CPUz it's showing 409MHz. This is because it is DDR2, so effectively it's 818, correct?

Yes that is correct. Double Data Rate 2, X2 the frequency. So you are running at 818mhz.
