    i would get the 3000+ and the MSI K8N Neo2 if you're limited to using an AGP video card. You really cant tell what kind of an OC you will get with a 3000+,3200+, or 3500+. Just get the 3000+. as for the 10x multiplier it may help if you want to run 1:1 and your memory isn't all that...

    nice the 298x9 2682 is the setting i would leave it at. It should be the fastest. Remember max bandwith doesnt mean a whole lot if you cant use it. the 298x9 should be the best setting. as for the VGA stuff, i started having problems retaining my video settings after 295x9. windows...

    running prime95 for 5 minutes is usually enough if you are just trying to find out if its stable or not. once you get to your max. run Prime95 overnight. make sure you watch the temps. do a google search on prime95 and download it for free. another quick test is superPI, use the 1M...

    go make sure your LDT(HT) is set to 3x and set your memory divider to 166. crashing most likely means that you arent at a stable OC. You should not have reboots unless you are unstable. I don't have reboots. As for voltage. I only raise it after I find I can get no more out of it at...

    Okay i looked up your board on MSI. in order to run Dual channel you need to use DIMM1/2 or DIMM3/4 or DIMM1/2/3/4. like i said originally. The difference I saw was that the 2 dimms closest to the processor are Purple and the two furthest away are Green Green = Ch. A Purple = Ch. B...

    cool. Let me know if you squeeze any more out of it. =D Oh and try to run dual channel if you can, there is no reason why you shouldnt be. I don't exactly know how much it helps but its never a bad thing to run it if you can. use 1 and 3

    Okay, here goes. On your system 250MHz = HTT (FSB) 9x = CPU multiplier 9 x 250MHz = 2250MHz Your CPUs clock speed When you set your HTT to 800 MHz you are telling your system that you want a 4x HT multiplier. 4x200=800 The highest you can set that is 1000MHz or 5x200. You...

    which AMD 64 would be the one to go for best price to performance ratio?

    so it will do 285x9 with a 166 divider? stable? that is 2565Mhz. Nothing wrong with using a divider. I used the 166 divider to get to 290x9. Couldn't have gotten there without it. Even with OCZ plat. Don't be afraid of the volts either. I use 1.60v and get the same heat +1C i did with...

    umkay, wow so yours is actually accurate. kick ass. you still have a bit O' volts to play with if you want to take that route but I believe your memory is going to end up being a limiting factor. besides at 2646MHz 294x9 you are already haulin ballz

    Up 5% means your VID (Vcore) is up 5% what its set to. The default is i think is 1.50 though CPU-Z and MSI corecenter will read around 1.40v. I have my VID set to 1.525v I think with +10%. CPU-z and MSI corecenter say that is 1.60v. If I had to guess I would say that you are probably around...

    Got to 315mhz 1:1 1T today on a 3500+...

    if you go too much higher at your current multi, your gonna have to change HT to 2x, lol. Good luck. let us know Yeah your probably right, your CPUs memory controller may be a hold up if you take that HTT up too much more.

    which AMD 64 would be the one to go for best price to performance ratio?

    Markfw900, Have you tested everything to isolate your OCing problem? Perhaps the CPUs in your systems are not the culprits. It is completely possible. There are alot of variables that come into play. It could be that you have just had bad luck, twice. If it were me I would have to test...

    I cant believe your ram is running 288! You probably already are not at 1:1. Use a divider 166 or 133 and try to do 285X9. Its obvious that your not having any problems with HTT if you can do 288. 285x9 will have greater performance. The reason why 288X8.5 was better for you was because of...

    DDR2 PC4200 256 MB

    If you want to overclock, do yourself a favor a DO NOT get 4x anything when it comes to RAM. Try to use only 2 dimms, 2x512 or something. Too many stability problems when all 4 banks filled.

    Overclocking and CPU life

    Here is the deal, even if your 3000+ does burn out in 2 years, you will probably be able to buy a new one at that point for around 40-50.00. Even in a year probably 100.00 or less. I say 1 year worth of stock FX-55 speeds for 1/5 the cost is worth it. without elevating voltages 2500MHz is...

    Winchester 3000+ OC results

    it actually doesnt say anything about a ratio. Under the cell menu, under the Dram configuration, you can set it to either 200 1:1, 166 5:6, 133 and 100. Your ram is probably your limiting factor though you mave have reached your systems peak. You should definately try setting your divider...

    If that approach was totally true then why do they sell so many of the top end processors. They have been marking the top 2 or 3 processors up for years.

    which AMD 64 would be the one to go for best price to performance ratio?

    For a Mobo I would get something with a Nforce4 chipset for best scalability and futureproofing. DFI NF4 Lan Party Ultra or SLI if you got the cash. MSI is good too. With the Nforce4 you will get PCIe 16x/1x and potentially SLI if you get one of the higher end boards. PCIe medium range video...
