well, i found my old 4400+ today, and some OCing fun with it.....

this is done with stock cooling and voltages....

going for 2.6Ghz tommorow.....
 
yea thats cool... you'll have to test it with prime95 before you know for sure its fully stable.
read oc101 too its a sticky in the cpu's and overclocking section
 
yeah well, i can't be bothered....

i just have a good go playing BF2 at full settings online for a while....
 
well, its all gone a bit shi**y.....

i started it up earlier at 2.45GHz, and then had a go with 2.5 (228 x 11 @ 1.375v) and i couldn't get it too boot....

so now back at stock.....

for now.....!!
 
If it aint booting, the problem is ur memory. Put it on a divider so it runs at/below 200MHz.
If it doesnt boot after doing this, increase the chipset voltage.
If it boots, but is unstable, increase the CPU voltage.

When im overclocking, its very handy to have a little calculator in your hand to work out stuff.
 
Have you tired upping chipset voltage and/or core voltage? Im just wondering why it's not booting, as it should be able to overclock to at least 2.6.

Thats a point, what are your idle temps at 2.45GHz? Something could be overheating.

my memory IS on a divider.....

its running at DDR-333 as opposed to 400 or what ever

ddr333 divider will make it run at ddr400 if the fsb goes past 240, remember that
you may have to use a lower hypertransport multiplier. should be set at 5, lower it to 4
 
In my opinion, a safe overclock would be one that is your highest (stable) overclock WITHOUT increasing any of the voltages.

Obviously, to find its absolute highest clock, you're going to need to give the voltages a big kick.
 
well, to aid me in my OCing adventures, im in the process of investing some £350 in a brand new Custom Phase Change....

prepare for Owange you pesants !!!!

It's voltages (and currents), not core frequency, that damages components. An increase in temperature is caused by increasing voltage, rather than frequency (effect from increasing frequency is TINY).
 
Id say it should be able to reach 2.75ghz on stock cooling, maybe higher on some better cooling. Thats what iv heard though, but mine only goes to 2.6ghz on stock cooling.
