I found the problem, it was my cpu... It must have had a sensitive memory controller. I got myslef an FX-57 and my overclocking experience has changed dramatically. The first thing i tried was to take it past the 230fsb which was max on with my 3800 until it crashed... To my amazement it...

I had a little go again today and here's what i managed. I lowered the HT to 3x as mentioned, mem to 100mhz and cpu multiplier to 5x and managed to get the fsb up to 340 until it wouldn't boot (thats from the bios) i was well happy with that. Then i thought i'd have a go at the memory, so...

I'll try that then. I had a little play around earlier and thought i was getting somewhere.. Here's what i tried. 11x multiplier / 230fsb / 2531mhz / 1.55vcore / 200ddr 3.3.3.8 1T / 2.8v (which went to 230mhz) prime torture test for 2 hours no errors 45c, but when i went to reboot it...

Hi mate When you said put the HTT to 3, do you mean the FSB to 300? or the HT Frequency to 3x? I tried the FSB to 300 with all the other settings you mentioned (which should have took it back to 2400mhz on a 8x multi right ?), but it wouldn't boot with a screen at all, so had to reset the...

Cheers mate. I'll try that later on, it's 1.30am here... I'll give you an update of how i get on :)

Hi guys, I've recently decided to dabble in overclocking, but things don't seem to be going that well or are they ?? I've read as much as i can, but i think it's time for advice. I have the sata drives in port 3 and 4. I'm only on air cooling (A64 freezer pro + AS5), and the highest...

Sorted :) My board didn't like the 1.9 bios for some reason, so i used the 1B bios, i acheived the flash like this as the recovery disk or winflash wouldn't work. I had to create a bootable floppy, renamed my bios files to to bios.bin and awdflash.exe and copied them to the floppy. Then...

I upgraded my bios to 1.9 and now when booting it says unknown flash type and when in windows my PC Alert program starts beeping with the 12v section flashing red reading 2.5v. I tried my bios recovery disk that it promted me to make before the flash and also tried the flash utility but it...

Remember: 99% of the time it's red pin facing power. :) I remember that now you've mentioned it, i was stressing out that much when i had a blank screen that i couldn't think straight lol :D

I needed to upgrade my video card because Oblivion was killing my X800XTPE at high res etc :(, so the best option was to change to PCI-E. I did alot of research and the MSI gets decent reviews on all the sites i checked.. I'm finally up and running and playing Oblivion at over 30fps with...

After reading about 10 reviews on the MSI (all good) i thought it would be a good option (plus its in stock at my store)... What Asus are you talking about?? Thanks

Hi, After starting Oblivion and finding what a killer it is on the hardware i am doing a pci-e overhaul, i've chosen MSI K8N Neo4 Platinum and a X1900XTX, now will my 3800+(Newcastle) power things along nicely or am i going to be badly bottlenecked? If i should upgrade the cpu which one to...
