Help with OC'ing a Winchester 90nm

Hi

I just got my computer.

AMD 64 90nm winchester 3200+ (2.0ghz)

Corsair PC3200XLPRO 2 gb ( 2 x 512 )

ASUS A8n SLI Deluxe

2 x MSI Geforce 6800 GT PCIe (in SLI configuration)

Thermaltake K8 Silent Boost

In order to fully harness the SLI I need to OC to about 2.6ghz. I tried to OC it by raising the HTT to 260mhz and OC'ing the RAM to 520mhz, but I couldnt OC the RAM so I can't OC the Processor.

I really need some help, because I've already had a couple of problems with this rig. I was just surfing the internet when I checked the ASUS AI Booster and it said CPU temp. 105 Celsius. SHIT! Then I checked the fan controller and it said 42 degrees, but then I looked at the case window and the fan had stopped. OMG I panicked and tried to shut it down, but the Computer crashed when I clicked the "start" button.

I don't know what the hell went wrong. I took the fan out and placed it on my old rig to see how worked. It worked fine, but after a coupla mins it simply stopped. strange. Also instead of connecting it back to the fan control I connected it to the ASUS motherboard. I started up the computer and I was staring at the fan. It didn't turn on! I switched the power off and sweared for a coupla mins and I tried again with another fan power source. it didn't work again. Then I plugged into the VGA fan power cable on the fan controller and since it has been working on full rpm without any problems. Strange though.

Anyway, can you give me an idiots guideon doing the OC.

Thanks,
Gung

 
Two things first make sure that your fan is going to stay working. second read this post http://forums.anandtech.com/me...1072&enterthread=y Also Most of us start O/Cing slow don't just jump to what you want. This is supposed to be a hobby I have too many spread sheets of what my componets max out at, what the benchmarks for those speeds are, what voltages I'm running, and what temps my system is at. I would think that you can reach 2.6 at HTT 4 FBS 260 X 10 you have the same memory as I do 260 @ 1:1 is hard without switch to 2T? I haven't tried mine above 250Mhz 1T 2.5-3-3-7(I know that that is stable for me who knows for you) Test things out everyones chips are different.
 
Erm I really don't know that much about timings and stuff, except that they sould be as low as possible.

I've also read the guide twice already.
 
if you set your timings too tight the ram may fail any overclock

what has been recommend is start off trying to overclock one component first to determine its limit

eg the cpu..set the memory to 133 with cas 2.5 or 3/4/4/10...then tinker just with the cpu, fsb and htt..see what the cpu maxes out at, then go back and see where the memory will max

also Duvie suggested elsewhere to set the cpu voltage to 1.5v with 3.3% since the board undervolts
set agp to 1.6v and vdimm to 2.7v..as starting points

you may also want to use just one videocard at a time...also make sure the agp/pci is locked at 67mhz(in spec)

also this mobo may not be able to run a 260 fsb.....Neo2 plat can reach very high fsb but i have not seem many people report yet there o/c on this mobo

also this is a key there are guarantees with o/cing..it is always your YMMV
