Help me overclock my 3200+ (2.2ghz) athlon 64bit

[Gomce]

I have ram capable of ddr500 (kingmax, overclocker's series)
Gigabyte Nforce3 250 gb
2.2ghz athlon 64bit socket 754
Watercooling (Coolermaster Aquagate)
-

- DVB satellite card
- SATA hard drive 80gb maxtor 8mb cache
- using the onboard sound and lan

-

Help me achieve the highest stable overclock please, what should I do?
Lower the HTT from 4x to 3x and up the FSB from 200 to 250?
What about the ram settings? Fast writes on/off? Enable 2t timing?

thanks!

Currently only stable is at 2.4 ghz, 11x220, HTT x 4 (880mhz x 2 = 1760mhz)

Set your ram @ 166, then try, 3x HT, 10x 260 or so ..you might need to up the voltage abit.


THe main thing is get that ram down some.

Why get the ram down? It's PC4000 - rated to run at 250mhz

 

[BentValve]

Because obviously your ram cannot keep up or your CPU is not a good OCer and that is not likely.

Hey man, you asked for help and I offered you a suggestion...you can try it or not. 🙂


Backing my ram down is what helped me OC well and it thinks its running at 1:1 , my benches prove it.

Try it, bench your PC and go from there.

 

[Gomce]

ok I'll do it, 🙂

Can you elaborate on that? I am new to OC'ing but I thought getting the FSB was the way to go with AMD since their multiplier is locked and that means RAM goes up.

he is telling him to run his memory at 166, which means a 4:5 divider.
