P4T533 2.4 @ 2.8 tip for O/C further

[XharKhan]

Hello, i am currently running a 2.4 (133fsb-533) intel cpu @t 2.808 ghz , i just want to know if there is no real risk is i push it further (2.9 or 3.0!). It's been a week now that i am at 2.8 and its just fine!

Here are my spec :

Asus P4t533 (Intel 850-e chipset)
Intel P4 2.4Ghz (533) @ 2.808 ghz ( 156 mhz external clock) supported voltage : 1.5v
512 MB(2x256) 1066mhz 32 bit rambus
Ati radeon 7500
Vantex stealh 520W Power supply
SB audigy 2
Maxtor 40 GB 2mb cache
13gb WDC
Combo dvd-CDrw
DVD writer (optorite)
Chenming Case (dragon)

I want to know if i must upgrade my voltage and know the risk of it for this particular processor. For the power supply tho there is noting to fear, it's very stable ( but the 12 volt tend to fluctuate from time to time)

For temperatures :

Idle :
MB : 28*
Cpu : 30*

Full load :
MB : 30*
CPU : 46* (47 high peaks)


My goal is 3.0Ghz btw when i check asus probe it's sais that the maximum O/C is 3.4Ghz ...

So, if there any risk or anything else i need to know , reply please !

I don't think you'll be able to push it much further, since rambus memory hates overclocking. You could try upping the dimm voltage and the CPU voltage, can you go to 1.6Vcore?

speaking of rambus memory, in my bios i have this freacky feature called turbo mode (Specialy for memory, not cpu) and i want to know if this is safe and would be stable under overclocking. In the mean time i will try to check all the voltages option in my Bios.

Back with more specific details and diagnostics...

Unfortunatly, no option for rdram config (voltage) , but there is still this turbo mode left (and im getting more and more curious about it)

For the VCORE voltage, i can go from 1.525 to 1.725(in bounce of 0.025)

i checked my vcore live from the bios and it fluctuate from 1.53 to 1.60 (is it normal to do this since i am in auto mode ? (1.525)

I've got the cpu/memory ratio from 3x to 4X that i can modify (now it's auto and i don,t know witch one it is set, maybe 4x)

AGP/PCI Frequency setting ,those 2 are on auto mode

And when i rebooted i saw 468 Mhz rdram clock (how does it work if i have 1066 mhz modules???) i don't see the logical numbers in this settings.

For the memory, you know where i can get programs for SAFE tweaking and stuff like that?

Thanks for answering my question

BTW this forum is cool, i'll stay here for i while i think

I would like some feedback about upping Vcore and dimm voltage, i know there is some risk but slightly upgrading it could be ok or it's not advised?

About dimm voltage, i was searching for some programs and didn,t fgind any. Is it only in the bios that i can modify that or i absolutely need a program in order to do so?
