Hello All,
My system:
-P4C 2.8 (have the stepping around here somewhere if interested)..HT Enabled
-Abit Max 3
-1 GB corsair pc-3700
-465W Enermax PSU
-SLK-900U + Smart fan 2 @ full speed
-34 GB raptor
-etc
-I have begun overclocking this cpu and now i find myself @ 14x 230 @ 1.55V (1.488 to 1.504 Actual- Chip is a 1.525V variant)
-Ram is set to 230 Mhz @ default settings ( By SPD 3-4-4-7..eek), 2.65V (up from 2.6V for stability)
Stability Testing:
-1 INstance SOB (seventeen or BUST) ...Distributed Computing Client that is much like Prime. Errors out very soon if problem is present
-2 Instances of Seti@home
-Chessbrain (another Distributed Project) running periodically in the background that takes the cycles away from SEti and SOB
-1 Instance of Prime 95
-SuperPi to 32Million digits
This Trio of Programs all take any available cycles and tax the system 100% so i believe if it can pass all these over extended period of time the pc is Stable (i.e. with the programs all also fighting for cycles from one another)
Now my Problem:
- I want More but the Ram is the limiting Factor. It cannot go much further than 233 Mhz and i do not want to increase the memory past 2.7V
-The processor is running @ 38-40C after hours of 100% cpu usage (diode underneath CPU + case temp is only 18C..yes its a cold room
)
- I believe the processor can go further but the ram is limiting, should i Enable a divider and clock the Ram lower but up the FSB?
-If YES, what should be the proper ration i should use? & also, how high must the fsb/CPU clock to overcome the memory deficiency (i.e. the memory running lower than before).
-Finally, what is the safe voltage for a P4C 2.8Ghz CPU? (And remember Abit Undervolts)
Thank you Everyone!!!!
