i overclocked my pc lastnight not by much only 200mhz and windows was now unstable randomly restarting, longest it was on for was 5min.

i havent got a heat issue as the cpu was only up by 1-2c for a total of 37c ish.

other temps:

cpu 37c
heat sink 27.5c
case 21c
hdd 38c
psu 30.5

i put my DRAM Frequncy upto 215 which = 3001mhz

Spec.

p4 2.8e
2x 256mb pc3200 ddr400 twinmos (2.5, 6, 3, 3)
asus p4s800d
ati 9800pro 128mb 256bit
creative audigy 2 platinum
hyper 6 cooling


infomation from cpuz

core speed: 2800.9
multiplier: 14
fsb: 200.1
bus speed: 800.3
voltage: 1.432

If u do things right.... People won't be sure you've done anything at all......
 
loosen your RAM timings / increase the voltage to the RAM / CPU

Ditto, try 2.5,3,3,7 for timings. Your timings look wierd for a P4 platform.

Abit IS7 - 2.8C @ 3.4 - Mushkin PC4000 (2 X 512) - Sapphire 9800Pro - TT 420 watt Pure Power
Samsung 120gb ATA-100 - Maxtor 40gb ATA - 100
Sony DRU-510A - THAT'S MORE LIKE IT!

ok will lower ram timings, about the ram voltage i dont know what to set it to, at the moment its set to auto. i dont think i can change my cpu voltage as the option is blacked out and it skips past it when i go to highlight it (configure system frequency/voltage) is this the right option?

up it to 2.7. If you need even more, you can do 2.8 "safely".

Look at my previous post. Just don't expect much out of a CO Scottie. They are definitely not the clockers the DO stepping CPU's are.

C0 Prescott will still overclock to the 3.7-3.8Ghz range, if you cool it enough.

just tried 2.5 3 3 7 @ 3ghz crashed while loading, had ram voltage @ 2.75

as for vcore i dont have that in my bios so dont think i can change it

any ideas what i should try?

i cant see why a 200mhz increase is making my system unstable heat @ 3ghz is not going over 40c idle

just found this out bout my mobo:

Vcore can be only increased by 0.1V above the nominal value – this may be enough just for ordinary (non-extreme) overclocking as Pentium 4 processors are not very sensitive to the voltage they receive

Thanks to the SiS655FX chipset, the frequencies of the AGP and PCI buses are locked at their normal values, 66/33MHz.

Our overclocking attempts with the ASUS P4S800D were a bit of a disappointment. The Pentium 4 2.4C processor that we used with this mainboard can speed up to 3.6GHz at 300MHz FSB, but we couldn’t repeat this result on the ASUS mainboard even reducing the memory clock rate to the minimum. It’s hard to tell certainly what was the reason, but the mainboard would lose stability at 255MHz FSB. Moreover, from 240MHz FSB on, you have to use specific memory modules as the system wouldn’t start up with some modules, irrespective of the FSB/MEM divisor, timings and the rated frequency of the modules.

So ASUS P4S800D mainboard can only be used for moderate overclocking. The basic disadvantage of this mainboard is its limited abilities in controlling the Vcore and low stability at the FSB frequency over 240-250MHz



going to go try it see if the 0.1 helps

It's probably your memory. It's only rated at PC3200. Some PC3700 should get you to 3.2ghz without over-volting your CPU. See if you can borrow some faster sticks to try.

Abit IS7 - 2.8C @ 3.4 - Mushkin PC4000 (2 X 512) - Sapphire 9800Pro - TT 420 watt Pure Power

Your motherboard sux because VIA and Asus have an agreement to make it suck, SiS being VIA's main competitor. You'll notice that chipset issues aren't such a big deal, but the limitted vCore was purposely implemented to hold you back.

You can volt mod the board. Head over to extremeoverclocking forums, they could help you out on that, just take a photo of your motherboard, and they should be able to help u out.

i dont think im brave enough to do that :s so im thinking that i should get a new mobo at some point, which brings me to this question.

when a 64bit p4 mobo comes out will it be backward compatible with my 2.8e or will they use a different socket? if they are not i will wait till mid-year next year and buy a new system.

Most likely it's gonna be on 775.
