I have overclocked my northwood 2.8Ghz to 3401.1Mhz. I didn't change voltages, just fsb. I have
pc2700 (333mhz) memory so I figure it will be optimum at fsb 166 because it will be same speed as
memory. But I can only get to 162mhz, anything higher and windows won't boot. I guess I need to up
my voltages, right? I need some guidance here, how high should I go, what temp should I not go
over.
I am disappointed, I benchmarked hl2 using a tool and I get, drum roll please. . . . 2 fps more 52
instead of 50. I have a ati x800 xt pe so I figure my cpu is the bottleneck. I really want to
benchmark battlefield2, especially using bots, I think this is the game that will benefit most from
the higher clock. Anyone know how to do that?
Also, when I am overclocked, asus probe is acting funky, it won't detect fan rpms, and sometimes the
voltages spike crazy, like down to 6v from 12, I am certain that has to be asus probe though because
the voltage spikes only occured when I just started the program. I have a enermax 420watt psu.
Another question is the precise clock speed is different in bios, in my computer properties, and in
cpu-z. So I don't really know which is the correct one.
