Help with OC AMD Athlon ii x2 250!!

[brianx96]

Hey, I know its not the best cpu but one, I'm learning how to overclock so why use a high top cpu to overclock and mess that up and two its what I got for now and I want to see if I can.

Ok so this may be a little long. This is my settings so far.
CPU Freq. 231.0
CPU Freq. Multi. x15.0 3000MHZ
CPU/NB Freq. 4.00x
HT Over Voltage 1.22
CPU Over Voltage 1.40
VDDNB Over Voltage Auto
Load Line 58.05%
Mem Clock value 400MHZ
Mem Over Voltage 1.545
Chipset Over Voltage 1.23

Ok so long story short ive been playing with the values as seen above. After they are entered it restarts the computer I go into prime 95 and a couple of monitoring programs and run the test. Ran it for like an hour. It did fine. Temps fine, never crasher or anything like that. So I go back into the BIOS and I just get a black screen. Restart the pc and overclock fail comes up. SO my question is what values so I increase/ decrease so my overclock stops failing?

Specs-
CPU- AMD Athlon ii x2 250
MB- ASUS M4N68T M V2
PSU- EVGA 600W
Ram- 8gb Corsair Vengence 1600mhz
GPU- GTX 960 SSC 4GB

What about RAM ? Raising CPU Freq. raises RAM frequency too. MC in that processor is 1333 MHz although it can go higher to 1600 but not much more.

I have an older bios so I don't have a uefi I think its called so I have no idea how to oc ram with this mb

 

[CountMike]

Not to OC it but to lower it because it is probably making problems like that. Brake manual out, should be as simple as to set memory on manual and lower it's multiplier. Non eed for UEFI for that.

Set ram to the lowest divider, keep pushing the ref clock up until you hit around 3.8ghz, put voltage to 1.48 for CPU.

My 270 used to hit 4.0 - 4.1 GHz at 1.5v but under Phenom II x6 cooler. It's 62W processor to start with and can OC like crazy.

 

[brianx96]

is 1.5v a safe voltage for the cpu?or is that kind of pushing it

 

[brianx96]

so I got it all the way up to 3.7ghz and it started up fine. I benched it with prime 95 for about an 1hr. Temps on core was about 31C and the socket was 41C. Everything seemed stable. Now I restarted my computer and it said overclock failed so I'm back at square 1. Why does it pass all the tests and boot up the first time. Then when I go to restart it. It says it failed.

 

[brianx96]

oh also I'm at 1.5V

 

[MushBrain]

1.5 is fine so long as temps are in check.

I don't know that MB but when you enter BIOS is there any warning in red about some settings Not being right or something along those lines ?

No, no warning messages, except for when I restart my PC. Now even if I do the slightest of OC it says that. How come I cant OC my cpu even the slightest bit? am I doing something wrong ?
