Hi guys,
Need an opinion from all you seasoned overclockers regarding my overclock of the x4 620.. My rig details are:
Athlon II x4 620 @ 2.6 Ghz
Gigabyte MA785GM-US2H
2 x 2 GB Kingston DDR2 Ram @ 800 Mhz
Onboard Radeon HD4200 @ 500 Mhz
80GB HDD Seagate 7200rpm SATA
I have been able to oc the processor to 3.58 ghz stable by increasing the fsb to 276.. i have kept ram at 1:1 and reduced the HT and NB to 7X to keep it around 2000 Mhz. The processor seems to be raring to go beyond 280 as well; however; increasing the fsb beyond 280 reboots the system. I tried reducing the cpu multiplier to 10X as well so as to check if my processor is the bottle-neck; but still the system reboots at anything beyond 280.. My question is whether 280 is the limit that my motherboard can take; or am i missing something.. do i need to make any other changes to see the max that the motherboard can go to.. also please note that AAC is disabled and EC is on normal mode.. I have also overclocked the radeon 4200 to 980 Mhz stable..
Any suggestions guys??
