Hey all,
First time posting so a big hello to all.
Now first off I know this combo is old school. I am more of a console fan these days and only use the computer for the odd MMO, browsing and some COD4, but I want more speed out of it to run crysis 2 and some other games that I'd like to try on the PC.
So Ill start. The motherboard is a gigabyte P35-DS3L. It has been great, no problems. A while ago one of my mates overclocked it, not by much but it did bump the smoothness up a bit but it reset itself soon after, since then I have not touched the FSB settings until last week when I was weighing up spending $1300 bucks on a new gamer system or just try to pump out as much as I can out of the old 775 chip.
Booted to bios and set the FSB multi to 9 and FSB to 333, rebooted. Nothing, tried 240 and it worked, rebooted and tried 270 and it worked. This is with dram 2:1, 540 on 270mhz FSB. I set the dram multi to 2.0 and FSB 333mhz but still nothing so I stopped and left it at 270.
Now I wouldn't have thought this changed it but it did, went and bought another 2GB of ram and a new HD5670 to boost the system more as I was happy with the clock. Now I can't overclock at all! I shorted the cmos, reset it, tried setting volts to auto, manual, tried everything but nothing works. Soon as the FSB clock is enabled it just goes back to safe settings (boots reboots).
Does anyone have any idea how to get it to overclock? What should my voltage settings be if I am running 333mhz FSB? I know the dram should be 667mhz. What about dram volts etc?
Any help is appreciated.
System specs:
Gigabyte P35-DS3L
2GB DDR2 800mhz Kingston
2GB DDR2 800mhz PNY
Intel E2160 1.8ghz
ATi Sapphire Radeon HD5670 DDR3 1GB
