How to get board to 200mhx FSB????

[murdoK]

I have a gigabyte SINXP1394 board with 3.06 HT, 2x 512 Samsung pc2700 in DC, ATI 8500, and SB audigy.

What voltages or settings should i try to get my board up to 200 mhz bus? and yes i am very sure that my cpu will support it. it is a production sample.

my bus now ist at 155 or 160, i dont remember, and cpu at about 3.1X.

for cooling i have the volcano 7+ running at high speed (its loud, but cold ) many case fans in a lian-li aluminim pc-60.

any help would be apreciated.

is my ram waht is holding me back? its only samsung generic.....

If you have a 3.06, then you should be at 166 mhz (I believe, I'm an AMD guy, not Intel). There should be a setting in your bios to change the voltages, fsb, and multiplier. I suggest you turn down your multiplier and then crank up the fsb, so you don't overheat your cpu right off the bat. Take it slow until you find the fastest stable speed. Most likely you will have to ease up on your memory timings as well to be able to get to 200mhz.

when you say "ease up on memory timings" waht do you mean? mke them higher? i certianly cant OC that ram....

200 MHZ FSB? Not a chance on air cooling!

Intel processors have locked multipliers. Yours is locked at 23x. To get to 200 Mhz FSB you would need to overclock to 4600 Mhz (23 x 200)

Now if you want to invest in liquid nitrogen cooling...

<b>99% is great, unless you are talking about system stability</b>

Yeah, just make them a bit higher. Instead of CL 2.0, make it 2.5, instead of a RAS-CAS of 2, make it 3. That's easing up/relaxing timings. And you can always try oc'ing your ram. There's no harm in trying.

HEY! You read my sig! 😛

Water cooling is for the weak. Get liquid nitrogen.

Hey, never once did I mention liquid nitrogen! Though, that isn't a bad alternative to get a 200mhz fsb 😛

It usually can't be done, as most of the time the chipset will crap out at around 166MHz.

my multiplier isnt locked. its at 21x now.. i think 21 or 22 is the max... is nto a retail chip so... but i guess i cant get that high on air cooling.. had bus at 160 for a couple days.. then it started rebooting.. so now its been stable at 150 for like 2 weeks....

Same old story.......

1. Get a good cooler
2. Relax memory timings (thats means... raise the numbers)
3. Raise the core voltage (to be done in steps of say 0.25 V)
4. Monitor the temperature
5. And also system behaviour
6. If needed increase the AGP/PCI divider so that AGP/PCI busses arent overclocked (actually a lot of modern board lock the AGP/PCI busses at 66/33 MHz so thats no problem, but check that out)

7. If there are problems still, ask the people around on THG.

Overclocking is a trial and error venture of sorts, with a high risk of component damage (and financial losses) and loss of warranties.

So you have to slowly work your way up, if the system fails change a parameter i.e. core voltage (check the temperature each time you raise the voltage) or FSB (check for stability with each increment) or multiplier (you might need to reduce the multiplier to get better FSBs, actually that makes a better system due to better memory bandwidth)

Change ONLY ONE PARAMETER AT A TIME

Hope you get it this time.
