Overclocking Question

My PC is in the sig.

I'm using Asus AI Suite to overclock. It was going well... got it to 2.51 and got my RAM clocked to where it's supposed to be. It was at DDR 533!

So anywhoo... I know my Processor will run 2.93ghz no problem because i've read several times it's the same chip as the X6800, but with an unclocked multiplier. But i'm slowly working my way up there.

With my CPU Ratio set at 9. I'm at 312 CPU Frequency. So my clock speed is 2.808. I'm almost there right? Well! I finally decided to set the frequency to 326 which will make my speeds 2.93. But then PC turns off during restart, COMPLETELY... then turns back on, TURNS BACK OFF, then back on? Then I got a msg saying Overclock failed. So I got back into my settings and put it back to 312. Got the Computer back on... runs good. 35 degree idle temp for the CPU. 1.296v at idle as well.

Do you have any idea why this is happening?

up the voltage.

EDIT: 1.232 Voltage at Idle with a temp of 32 degrees C. How is that? I'm at 3.00ghz right now. FSB is at 1335. When do things start becoming a bit in Voltage, FSB, and temp?

I want to overclock my memory to DDR2 1067 but I don't know where to start the voltage at on the RAM. It's on default Auto right now.

I also think i'm near the end for overclocking this thing. On my Asus AI Suite Program. The little gauge thingy for CPU speed is almost full and right now it's in the red. That's not bad, right? ;-?

You're not near the end :). You're maybe only half way there!

You don't want to go above 1.5V unless you have some sort of fancy cooling (ie, water). Other than that, and temperatures (shouldn't be above 70c load), you can keep going up!

Download Orthos, and test your processor with small FFTs each time to make sure your computer is stable. If it crashes, just put one notch more voltage into the processor. Take your time :)

I'd like to show you what i'm talking about though. I don't have a place to upload the picture though.

Right now... 3.00 is a very stable spot. Running WoW and a bunch of programs with no problems at all!
