Asus board and 805D - no OC possible!

[davew666]

I'm a total newbie at overclocking. I have an 805D, on an Asus P5LD2-VM mobo. I have 2GB of DDR2 5400 RAM. Everything works perfectly when it is not overclocked. But as soon as I change the FSB by any amount, then when I restart the screen stays off, and there is no activity from the HDD. I have to reset the mobo to get it to boot again. I can't even get it to work by using the preset overclocking parameters. Help please!

PSU: Enermax 460W
GPU: Radeon X1600
Cooler: Zalman CSP9000 (or something like that, it's big, round and copper)

update:

I've done a bit more work. I managed to up the FSB by 1mhz at a time, until I got to 150. When I tried 151 I had the same problem - no booting at all. So I reset the mobo RAM and tried 150 again, except that didn't work either this time...Very frustrating

I have the board. You MUST lock the PCI clock syncronization at a fixed rate, i.e. 33 1/3. Then you must increase the PCI Express acordingly 117/118 is the maximum I can get.

The best overclock I have gotten and have seen with the board is somethng over 3.5 . If you get over 3.6 please inform. HTH.

If your board is revision 2 and you flash it to the 0901 BIOS, you are Conroe ready! Shazaam! 8)

I did this and managed to get to 3.2, but no more

Of course you have to increase the FSB too. I went on the ASUS forum for this board. Apparently, no one can clock past a little over 3.5. That's been my experience. If yours is rev. 2 it can run core 2 duo.

I have the 805 D Smithfield too. Just to let you know. No one on the ASUS forums has clocked the CPU/MB combination past 3.5+. This has been my experience to a tee.

are you sure you have the same board - on the ASUS forums I see that people can't get the FSB over 160, which is where I am stuck too

Ha! I have had it for months! I can get the FSB to 177!

The board throws up the great wall at 3.6. Where did you get to?
