CPU & GPU Battle!!!

[Flunders]

This is about overclocking CPU and Graphics card really. Anyway I can overclock my CPU (no graphics card overclock) fine and it runs prime stable, all games... etc. I overclock my graphics card (no cpu overclock) and it runs stable. However overclock them both at the same time using the stable settings I found before then the computer goes crazy! It crashes out on Prime, 3Dmark and everything! Whats happening?

AGP lock?

 

[Flunders]

Yes it's locked. And adding voltage to the AGP doesn't seem to help either.

Can you list the rest of your specs?

Power supply is too stressed out with both overclocks?

 

[Sunbird]

I think yuchai is onto something.

Ah, power supply! Of course!!! I only have a 320W which is shown below in my specs.

Right my specs are as follows:

Intel Prescott CPU 3.2GHz O/C'd to 3.75GHz // Thermalright XP-120 with 120mm FAN // Asus P4C800-E Deluxe Motherboard // Corsair 1024 TwinX 3200C2 Pro DDR // Crucial Radeon 9600XT 128mb O/C'd to 585/675 /w Zalman ZM80D-HP Silent VGA Heatpipe Cooler and Fan // 2x Maxtor DiamondMax Plus9 120GB 2MB Cache Raid 0 // CoolerMaster ATC-201 Praetorian case // Globalwin Super Silent 22dBA 320W ATX Power Supply

Damn I was going to OC my video card after I was done OCing the CPU. Guess I will have to install my TruePower 480. My Thermaltake runs fine now, but I know it won't handle both overclocks.

You know your TT won't handle both overclocks? What's its power rating? TT PSUs are nothing like TT's other products in that they actually work well. 🙂

I haven't had any problems with it yet. If I ever do, I have an Antec 480 TruePower waiting to take the reigns. I am having stability issues with my overclock that I posted about in another thread. I think its memory related though.
