Hi I have some problems with my PC.
My Configuration is :
Intel Pentium E2180 2.0 GHz ovrckled to 2.8GHz Vcore voltage 1.275 BIOS(cpuz load 1.200) m0stepping
MoBo: ASUS P5B P965/G965
DDR2 Patriot 800mhz 2x1gb 5 5 5 15
Ati RAdeon 3850 256MB

Overclocked the CPU multiplier x10 FSB 280 FSB:DRAM 2:3
DDR2 840mhz 5 5 5 15
I ran a bunch of test GO ORTHOS , Prime95, Super Pi. for more than 2 -3 hours works fine no errors. VCORE temp under heavy load max 64 C under win 38-40C. Strangely i get some restarts from time to time when i play NFS Pro street or even under win sometime. I was wondering if i get them from the overclocking. I ll appreciate some suggestions i really dont know what to do thanks

i only managed to do 2.71ghtz

even 0.01 more and windows did not even start
above 2.81 the temp went up already in the bios monitor 1celsius / 15 second
i just for the hell of it tried 3.00 = i was not even to go to bios, it froze about 4 seconds in to power on
how even on 2.71 temperature is identical then the stock 2.00 (38celsius)

use stock fan, stock voltage
mobo = ashrock 775dual-vsta

Make sure all the speed step stuff is off per OC guides.

timings at 55515
multi @ 2.0 (1:1)

9x350

DDR OverVoltage (+0.2)
(G)MCH (+0.1)

Vcore @ 1.45

Post and run small Prime.

I give you all my spect, and 3dmark test...
E2180 3.0Ghz 300*10 (1.26v+0.050 [1.30V show on OCC])
4GB DDR2 800Mhz running at same speed, OC or +V = Negative all standar (NO Dual Ch.)
FSB 1200Mhz - DDR Unliked at 800Mhz manual.

Fan Cooler Asus Triton 70 Multi Socket
35º iddle // 60º máx load (3.0Ghz/1.30V).
GF xfx 9800GT modo1: 600/1500/900 modo2(OC): 700/1750/1000

3Dmark test
E2180 at 2.0Ghz modo1: ~7550 SCORE
E2180 at 2.0Ghz modo1: ~8500 SCORE
E2180 at 3.0Ghz modo1: ~10800SCORE
E2180 at 3.0Ghz modo2:~11500SCORE

Max speed i could reach 3.0Ghz. Now I am trying to use forum to see if 320FSB o 333FSB can be done without over Voltaje and Windows starting problems, because i have the same -.- problem. But 3dmark is just a test i suppos all game will run the same with a 3.0Ghz vs 3.4Ghz. In my opinion 3Dmark take to much advantaje of 3.0Ghz procesors (marketing).
