Ok I've increased voltage to fsb, northbridge and memory by 0.1 for each. I set the bios to 333 bus speed, multiplier at 2.0. I've booted in windows and typing this now. however, cpuz is reporting bus at 279.3 and memory at same so 558 effective. How could this be? Could bios bootstrap be the...

Thanks my friend I'll try it.

Final question - I have DDR2 800 memory. A good bus speed I can get is 275. However I am forced to set memory divider to 1:1/2.0. So my memory is running at 275 x 2 = 550. As you can see it's a far cry from its 800 speed. I've tried all sorts of divider settings but none work - sometimes it...

Thanks again Crashman. I think I understand lol :) cheers mate!

Thanks again crashman :) what do you advise me to do with what I have my friend? At the moment bus is running at 250, cpu clock at 3 ghz. Dram is running at freq of 333mhz with 3:4 ratios. Is this optimal? Or should I set cpu to approx 3.4 ghz and 280 mem freq?

thanks Crashman. So you're saying that fsb and ram should run 1 to 1 - matching each other for optimal performance? During various attempts, I set fsb to 333 with ratios 1:1 but it's funny cause CPUZ shows 287 fsb and memory at 287. It appears that bios shows 333 but cpuz shows 287. Can the...

thank you both for your response :) 4745454b, I've checked my 2GB of memory in bios, matches windows readings. I don't have access to a multiplier on that chipset, but I've tried fsb of 400, memory divider 1:1/2.0, loosened timings to 5-5-5-15 (didn't have access to 18 on my mobo), and I've...

Guys please - anyone?

Anyone? My ddr2 - 800 ram should easily handle cpu fsb of up to 400 (with 1:1, or 2.0 divider as gigabyte calls it). And I've had the cpu fsb up to 333 or so and no matter what dividers I set it 'reverts' my ram to 280mhz. As a result I've accepted a balanced approach: 250 cpu fsb, and 2.66...

Anyone please?

Hi all, Firstly many thanks for all the wonderful threads. I've learned a lot by reading your thoughts. Still I'm confused about something - I tried searching but couldn't find a specific answer. I'm overclocking my lowly E2220 from default 2.4 ghz to 3 ghz. This was done on a Gigabyte...
