Overclocking P4

[Darkserge]

I have ASUS P4P800SE motherboard.

I did play around CPU overclocking to from 1% to 5% in manual setting.

It goes like this in 5% overclocked.
Core Speed 3400MHz to 3570 MHz
Bus Speed 200MHz to 210MHz
Rated FSB 800MHz to 840.0 MHz
DRAM Frequency 200MHz to 210 MHz

but the problem when I go 6% overclocked CPU, DRAM Frequency going backward 210MHz to 140MHz. I am not too comfortable going farther... This is set as 10% overclocked

Core Speed 3400MHz to 3740 MHz
Bus Speed 200MHz to 220MHz
Rated FSB 800MHz to 881.0 MHz
DRAM Frequency 200MHz to 146 MHz

I found to set manual DRAM Frequency but it only set as 266, 320, 400, 500 or 533. I beleve my memory is at 210 max.

I doing in math...I need to reach around 50% cpu overclocked to get my memory speed back to 200

I hadnt try that yet because this is a huge jump...
I did in math.
Core Speed 3400MHz to 5100 MHz
Bus Speed 200MHz to 300MHz
Rated FSB 800MHz to 1200.0 MHz
DRAM Frequency 200MHz to 200 MHz

Do you think that will burn up CPU for good? In 5% overclocked is 32C by leaving XP on. In gaming, it climb up to 44C at the most. CPU coolen by 4500 RPM fan with heatsink.

That would not happen.

You can manually change the FSB to DRAM ratio in the BIOS, so you can have the memory running closer to the stock speed, while the processor is overclocked.

Also, I wouldn't use the 5%, 10%, etc overclocks. Just manually change the settings.

Sweet.

I set DDR Frequency manual to 266 which it run 140Mhz, then 320 which it run 168Mhz, then 400 which is now running 220Mhz.

Core Speed 3400MHz to 3740 MHz
Bus Speed 200MHz to 220MHz
Rated FSB 800MHz to 881.0 MHz
DRAM Frequency 200MHz to 220MHz
33C leaving in XP on, and 44C play WoW for one hour.
CPU Voltage is at 1.456 (auto).
But Video card climb from 45C to 49C by leave XP on,
and it also climb 61C to 64C in play WoW.

My computer is like an oven..... so I remove the case out.

Core Speed 3400MHz to 3909 MHz
Bus Speed 200MHz to 230MHz
Rated FSB 800MHz to 920.0 MHz
DRAM Frequency 200MHz to 230MHz
37C leaving in XP on, and 48C play WoW for one hour.
CPU Voltage is at 1.456 (auto).
Video card is 49C by leave XP on, and 57C in play WoW.
