I recently build up my custom pc (not a beginner, done a few times before). I read some great things about C2D system, so I buildt my own.(below the post are my specs) So my problem is that if I do overclocking I got random BOSDs. I only want to overclock my cpu, nothing else. I have tried fsb 1000,1066,1100 so far but no luck, after 8-9 hours of computer usage BOSD :ouch: (harware failure, irq not less or equal, etc). Without fsb overclock rock stable. :)
I have xp sp 2 professional, latest drivers from asus website, latest 608 bios for the mobo. No matter if I disable eist and speed step stil BOSD. I have unlinked the fsb from memory stil nothing good. :fou: I havent touched voltages :bounce: (memory timming set to 4-3-3-9 (stable, tested with memtest) from 5-5-5-18).
I even got a heatsink for the south bridge because it was real hot.

PC Specs:
Intel Core 2 Duo E4300 Allendale 1.8GHz LGA 775 800 fsb
ASUS P5N-E SLI LGA 775 NVIDIA nForce 650i SLI ATX Intel
DIMM 2*1Gb DDR2 PC-6400 800MHz KingMax DDR2 Mars
HDD WDIGITAL 250 GB 7200rpm 16Mb Serial-ATA II 300 WD2500KS

DVD+/-RW ASUS DRW-1814BLT-B Lightscribe - 8X18X8X16X - 48X32X48X Serial-ATA RETAIL Dual Layer BLACK
VC WinFast PX8500 GT GF 8500 GT 256Mb DDR2 PCI Express (128bit) TV-OUT DVI Dual Display, SLI 490/800
CASE DELUX MG760RB ATX 400W 5,25 X 4 500(H)x192(W)x494(D) RED-BLACK, USB + Audio (BMW)

My temps are:
CPU idle 44 C-load 52 C
North Bridge 47 C
HDD 47 C
GPU 50 C
*In Romania is hot like hell (30-35 c at this time of year)
And yes I have a pretty lame case... :pt1cable:
I use it for office work, coding, and light gaming (8500gt looool :ange: )

Any help is appreciated :D (sorry for my english)

I had to up my northbridge voltage a notch for an overclock, but that was with an e6600, when the fsb is already 1066. it's worth a shot, but with those high ambient temps, you might need an aftermarket northbridge cooler. I got one from thermalright, it's great. set memory timings to auto, link to the fsb and you should be good. if you can achieve stability, then try tightening up the memory timings.
