Hi all, i was wanting to set my e4500 to 400fsb with a 6x mutiplier (400x6 = 2.4Ghz) from standard 200fsb with an 11x multi (200x11 = 2.2Ghz) I have 2Gb of 800Mhz ram and a Gigabyte p35-ds3p rev 2.1, on the box it says "1600fsb with OC!" so i thought it would be easy...

I'm assuming this is a processor problem as everything else is set to standard speeds. Is it my processor? or something that I'm doing wrong?
 
try bumping the northbridge voltage a little bit, maybe .025V increments.

so what exactly is the problem though? it won't post when you set that speed?

but check out my signature, that is what you should be shooting for at least.

reset all your system settings, set teh FSB to 266, or 1066, depending on which format it gives you, and dont touch anything else. your stock intel cooler will do just fine, no voltages will need to be changed, and youwill save your northbridge some major heat

With my old ram (667mhz) when i set it to 3.0ghz (333x9) i had to set my voltage to around 1.48 (alot...) I have a CNPS 9700LED cooler, so much better than stock :P

When i set it to 400x6 it keeps restarting before the bios and won't let me back into it after its tried to reboot about 3-8 times. I also have 4 120mm case fans (2 intake 2 exhaust).

Also, i'm not aiming for a high clock rate, i'm aiming for a high FSB with low multiplier... i will settle for 2.4ghz as long as its at 400fsb mainly for the 1:1 ram:fsb

I would try upping my northbridge voltage if i knew where to find it...

Click to expand...

a 1:2 ratio and low FSB with a 2.93 GHZ clock is alot better then what your shooting for, trust me i went through it with my e4500.

but do not lower the multiplier, if you do you wasted your money, because that is what you payed out the A** for.

so 266X11 and leave it lol

the ratio is not going to affect you as much as you would think, trust me on that
 
I couldn't go for 266x11 (makes my ram slower - just upgraded - defeats purpose of upgrading) so i went for 333x9 and got it stable at 1.488V, i know thats alot of voltage but my chip isn't the best for overclocking... oh well, ran orthos for 10 hours and it was stable, ty for the info though :)
