Hey all...
just got my hands on a barebones system .. had been held down by a Dell for years and thought it was time to move on.
anyways, i have managed to get 3903.0MHz off a stock 3200MHz Intel Pentium D 940 w/ 2 x Kingston 1024MB PC5400 DDR2 667MHz Memory @ 4-4-4-8 timings helping me reach 813MHz.
My mobo doesn't seem to allow for vCore alterations, so i'm sitting @ 1.27 Volts, and my RAM is sitting @ 1.95 V
i've attached a shot of my benchmark .. system is quite stable too.
really the only instability i'm experiencing right now while OC'd iswhen i view video, ie. youtube videos.
seems that after OC'ing my cpu and ram, my GPU went from the original 500MHz down to 35MHz .. quite a fall-off. i'm not a gamer, nor do i watch many videos online, so it's not a big deal. any thoughts on what happened there?
is a 5:3 / DRAM:FSB ratio good? i've read that a 3:2 ratio is considered one of the best .. even moreso than a 1:1.
i'm sure it's a pretty average overclock .. hoping to find a way to up the vCore.
