I never OC any cpus b4. I want to try to overclock my 2.4C on MSI 865PE-Neo2LS. I also have a pair of Kingston Hyper-X PC3500(DDR434) CL2.0 256MB.

I wonder how I should do it. Also, I read from Tom's that 865PE from MSI can enable PAT by choosing Ultra Turbo in the Performence in the Bios Menu. However, whenever I enable Ultra Turbo Mode, my computer can't even POST. Can someone please help me on this?
 
When I increase the FSB on MSI 865PE-Neo2LS, the AGP bus an the PCI bus clock increase as well... Is there anyway I can increase FSB and have the AGP/PCI fixed at 66.6/33.3??
 
Yes you can lock AGP/PCI frequency at 66/33, first update your bios to the latest version, then just go through it see if you can find it. The reason it won't boot when you turn on turbo mode is probably because your memory doesn't support it. I've never used that mobo so i'm not that useful. When I was using PC3200 Kingston Value memory, computer won't boot into cmos when Turbo's enable on my mobo. Eversince I got my OCZ 3700 gold dual channel that problems seems to disappeared.

I got it didn't u read it on my other post? it did 275mhz at 2.85Vdimm. Timing was at 3-4-4-8, stable in Sandra and Prime95.

My bios version is 1.4 and I believe it is the latest version.

I have no idea what is wrong with my setting though. My ram clock is set by default, and I'm only running my ram at DDR400! I will be very disappointed at Kingston Technology if their DDR434 ram can't handle the Turbo Mode when running at DDR400.
 
Most memory can't, so you should've bought Corsair or OCZ.

I'm not sure about that PC4200, right now i'm running pretty low only 3300mhz but Syncronized FSB. So in actual games I actually get better performance.

yeah but i like the idea of syncronized FSB.

Syncronized gets best performance in actual games for me, i'm not sure why though. But I'm not complaining.

I've got that board and yes you can get to 3 gigs. You need to lock the AGP/PCI timer. Up the FSB to 250 which will give you 3GHz and up the voltage a couple notches as well. At this point you can save the settings, load up windows, play some games for an hour or so. IF it crashes, go back into the bios, go into memory settings and change it from Auto to 400 (I think that’s PC3200) or what ever speed you ram is. Mines 333 (PC2700), so I've locked it at that speed, the advantage is that is gives you more stability, but you don't get the same performance as you would do if you ran it in sink with the FSB.
Bear in mind I'm not using a Stock HSF, I'm using a Zalman ALu-CU flower heatsink and 92MM fan set on quite.
 
The CNPS6000 ALCU on quite is about the same as the Intel Stock.

it depends on how high you have the fan set. Mines is always on quite (yes even on an overclocked 2.4Ghz @ 3Ghz), and yes its the same temp as a stock HSF, without the noise.
 
Hey why don't you try to saw up a 92mm Tornado fan and attach it to your heatsink see how it works. I'm sure it'll be quiet:)

92mm is quiet running at 1v.

mine's at 3.3G 1:1 :)
