a8n-sli deluxe OC 3200+ problems

[dougyfresh]

Man, I can't even get my s939 3200+ (90nm) to run at 2090 (2000 mhz stock) mhz without running incredibly unstable. I bought the cheaper processor because I planned on OC'ing. Heres what I've tried on my a8n-sli deluxe:

voltage : AUTO
FSB anywhere from 209-230 mhz, all unstable as heck.
MULTIPLYER: AUTO or 10x
that's all I tried to change. I figure I wouldn't have to play with a whole lot of settings, but jeeze. My memory is pc3200, so 200mhz x2 = 400 effective, by increasing the FSB (HT? explain? lol :/) does that try and increase my memory's speed too, aka, thats why it is flaking out? Oh well....if anyone else is experiencing a8n-sli OC'ing problems let me know, or if you see myself doing something wrong. . Let me know, thank you.

well increase voltages, all voltages, CPU/MEM/Chip, then go again. The board has no problem OCing, even with the first bios version it has no problem hitting 300. Just turn down the HT multiplier to 4 instead of 5.

What are some safe voltages for the 3200+, I don't want to risk anything

 

[scottchen]

stock or equivalent=1.5V
XP120 or equivalent and sh*t watercooling=1.65V
Watercooling using high end waterblocks such as DD RBX and has a 300G/hr pump and has a radiator big enough for 2 120mm fans=1.75V
Sub-zero systems such as Prometeia and Vaporchill=1.9V+

Isn't 1.5v the default anyways? If this the case...I can't really adjust that. Here's a question about the HT. What does changing the HT speed (4x, 5x) actually change? Maybe someone can give me a simple answer, because I know the board doesn't have a FSB, because it has been replaced by the HT, and that the CPU frequ. can be changed without having to deal with the FSB, since it's not there. Why do I need to adjust the HT speed?

 

[scottchen]

1.4V is default on winchesters.

 

[scottchen]

Just call it FSB, just increase the FSB or HT frequency, and decrease the HT multiplier to 3x or 4x, then configure ur ram properly, and off you go.

thanks everyone.
