Well,
In my quest to get my 4300 running faster, I still can't get the board to go past 1333.
I thought my cpu might be the problem so I dropped the multiplier to 7x and increased fsb to 1500 with no luck. Then I tried 1400, no luck. Then back to 1333 and it worked fine. I then went...
I did try jumping straight to 1400, 1500, and even 1600 but no luck. My NBVcore is at 1.56 but I have pretty good cooling around the northbridge but none blowing directly on it. However, if it was a heat issue I would expect to be able to at least POST at 1500, then perhaps be unstable once...
I don't know that I'd go that far. I've not been able to get any stability past 3.0 GHZ with a FSB of 1333 on my 4300. You can see my sytem speks in my sig, but my system isn't exactly power hungry yet I can't get past 1333. Anything past that and I get random reboots, and failure to post. I...
Well,
Just for fun last night I decided to turn my vcore to auto, so now my settings are:
Memory unlinked 800mhz (DDR)
vcore - auto (measured 1.36 in speedfan)
memory voltage - 1.92
nb voltage - 1.56
FSB - 1200 (QDR)
CPU frequency - 2.7GHz
Vid card 7600GT at 560/750 (stock)
Orthos...
Thanks for the tips!
Does the northbridge report it's temp? I don't currently have a fan blowing directly on it. I have an Ultra 120 heatsink with a 120mm fan blowing through it, and a front case fan blowing over my 2 HDD's and somewhat on the NB.

I don't think I have a G version, I purchased mine a few months ago before the price drop.
Have you tried unlinking your memory and setting it to 800MHz. That helped me at least get started OC'ing.
AMelbye,
Yeah, I'm a bit stumped as to why I can't go any higher. The power supply seems to be putting out plenty of voltage for the core. I wonder though what you meant when you said:
I thought that vcore was cpu voltage? If that's not the case, I might need to check to see what the...
After the last bios, I'm a bit leery to try 0602, especially when 0402 is working fine for me.
I did manage to get my overclock up to 1200MHz cpu and 800MHz memory. I did have to increase my northbridge voltage to the next step above 1.393 though. At 1.393 I couldn't get above 1050MHz. I...
That was core temp, not processor temp. I honestly don't know what the processor temp actually is. But yeah, core 1 and core 2 were registering 54C under 100% load and 44C at idle.
I need to see if I have a spare motherboard fan connector to use with the hsf. Right now I'm using 2 of them...
Thanks, that makes a lot of sense!
I ran orthos at a FSB of 1000 and it ran stable for an hour or so before I turned it off. CPU temps got up to 54C. Is that reasonable? I'm using a Thermalright 120 with no fan on it. I do however have a case fan set to blow in on the back of the case...
Amelbye,
I did as suggested and left the memory in unlinked and set it to 800mhz. Increased the CPU FSB to 1000 and no problems so far. However, just to confirm I wasn't loosing my mind, I pulled up CPU-Z and this is what it showed for cpu and memory speeds:
CPU:
core speed 2250MHz...
AMelbye,
Thanks for the reply. I might be misunderstanding, but I thought that a FSB of (Quad data rate) 800mhz in 1:1 mode means that my memory is actually running at 400mhz (since it is DDR). Perhaps I'm mistaken? I thought that my memory is rated to FSB of 1600mhz (800mhz DDR). I am...
Hey all,
I just registered because of this thread!
I recently built a system with the following components:
