I just got a new 4200+ and doesn't oc worth a damn

[avi85]

I just got a new 4200+ and when I tried setting htt to 220 it bluescreened on me before it hit windows and at 215 one of the cores had an error in superpi so basically I'm not gonna oc this chip cause if at stock vcore it can't reach htt 215 then it's not worth oc'ing

BEWARE OF THIS STEPPING!!!!!!

Did you remember to reduce the HTT multi?

htt multi was lowered to 4x, ram divider was 166 (5:6)

Got the same stepping as you. Stable up to 2.6 now. But it bitched and moaned just to get that high. One core like to fail SuperPi early.

what's your vCore at?

1.52 for 2.6Ghz, HTT at 3X

how far were you able to go at stock vCore?

Both a friend and I have similar 4200+'s that are mediocre overclockers. One chip is 0612 and the other is 0613 and neither would hit 2.6Ghz even with 1.50-1.52v.

Mine is currently running at 2.58Ghz, and it takes 1.52v to get there. With a voltage of 1.40, I can run at 2.48Ghz, and while I haven't tried overclocking on just the stock voltage of 1.35, my guess is the chip could run 2.4Ghz on the stock Vcore.

With the exception of a couple chips, it seems my entire overclocking experience going back to the Celeron 366@550 days consists of mediocre chips one after the other.

Stock vcore got me to 2.42.

that's better than my chip, I failed superpi at 2365 and gave up

Try placing a memory divider on your memory so it runs less than 1:1 with the HTT. Then try running dual superpi at 215HTT.
