GA-E7AUM overclock FSB question

ok i'll try elsewhere

Hi

Do you have your mem voltage & timing set to manufactures specs? I have an ASUS board but see if your bios has similar features which can be disabled for overclocking. Also, make sure your multiplier is properly set. Obtaining stability may also require raising your NB, SB, and other voltages. Have you tried Linked/Synced mode, not as good as being unlinked but might be a good place to start.

I'll be honest with you, overclocking is kind of a personal thing between you and your board........Trial and error only you can resolve.

Also see what MaDMagik posted:

Spread Spectrum Control: All Disabled
CPU Internal Thermal Control: Disabled
Limit CPUID MaxVal=Disabled
Enhanced C1(C1E)=Disabled
CPU C State Capability=Disabled
Execute Disable Bit=Disabled
Virtualization Technology=Disabled
CPU Multiplier=?
Enhanced Intel SpeedStep Technology=Disabled

Yeah, everything is set to factory spec except I disabled most or all of the other stuff you listed......

basically, everytime I go into bios and unlink the fsb and memory, then raise the fsb freq even by a little tiny bit...i get a blue screen.

honestly though, I just experimented with lowering the ram freq( to minimum value 400Mhz), and doing so allowed me to raise the fsb by 15Mhz (to 815 Mhz) with no blue screen.

On another level, when you said that overclocking is a personal thing, I think I catch your drift on that comment, because there are many many variables.....
I will consult a local know it all I think

See, you already learned something important. Very few are able to run the ram at rated max with an OC, sometimes underclocking is necessary to maintain stability, good job!

thx for your comments and help.
