How many hours of prime do I have to run to be "accepted" into the 2.5gig on air club for men?

I'm feeling a little un-worthy lately and could use the ego boost :p

A little help for a n00b please.
I have:

2100+ 0306 AIUHB DUT3
a7n8x deluxe
buffalo/winbond bh-5 2x256 meg dual channel
thermalright slk800
ystech variable fan
case with top and side fan (found part cut out of case and replaced with a fan)
antec 430 truepower


And what is a good starting point (what multi and what fsb? and what vcore, etc)?

Also when do I know when to up vcore and vdimm?

start at 10 x 200 = 2000 @ default or 1.6 volts

what i do is up my mult by .5 increasing my speed by 100 mhz at a time

so 10.5 x 200 = 2100 @ .... then this is where you see if it boots or not

if your comp boots, good.. if not, then you'll have to clear your cmos and increase your vcore by... .025 to .05

get into windows then run a program called prime95... let it run for about 10 tests.. if it passes, then up your mult again by .5

most likely you will have to increase your vcore again by .05 to .0725

keep doing this until you reach the speed you want...

my target is always 2.4 ghz 12 x 200 then i run prime95 for about.. 6 hours or so.. if it passes then i consider it stable enough

then i up my fsb and lower my mult...

so now i am running 11.5 x 210 = 2420 @ 1.8 volts...

just keep playing around.. there's really no system .. everyone has their own method... that is just mine...

thanx shim, a few questions: how much does increasing the vcore affect the life of the CPU? and can u give some hints on what the settings on the RAM should be?

no one really knows :)

haven't heard of anyone talk about a tbred dying yet so... no way to tell :)

my last tbird i had lasted 2 years and was still going strong... and i was giving it 1.85 volts...

hmm... hopefully long enough... most people here seem to upgrade every few months anyway so...

i don't think it matters too much how long it'll last to some people :)

but hopefully at least a year right?

how about vdimm? went to go up on vdimm? also for my buffalo/winbond bh-5 -- what timings to use? i know i should test with memtest86 but i want for sure timings to use.

2100+ 0306 AIUHB DUT3
a7n8x deluxe
buffalo/winbond bh-5 2x256 meg dual channel
thermalright slk800
ystech variable fan
case with top and side fan (found part cut out of case and replaced with a fan)
antec 430 truepower

How likely is it that I'll get 12x200 and what probably vcore and vdimm? i know i have to test things out for myself but I wouldn't mind some starting points.

doing 200 mhz shouldn't be a problem with the buffalo bh-5's

it should be able to do 200 @ at a vdimm close to what default is for the buffalo ram...

timing wise.. not sure... you can try 2-2-2-6 or 2-3-3-6... one of those two should work..

the likely hood of hitting 2400 with that chip.. i'm not quite sure... i'm more of a 1700+ guy rather than a 2100+ ... i stopped buying 2100+'s in january :)

Most of you know but for those of you that don't.If you can't boot after overclocking.Shut down your PC,hold the insert button on your keyboard.While holding it down power up your computer but keep holding down the insert key.Once you hear the beep you can let go and press delete to get in the bios.There is no need to rip open your PC to clear CMOS.It may not work on some mobo's,but most do.I have went through a few mobo's and it worked on all.

bah!

it takes the fun out of reaching your arm into your system get that little jumper to move it to clear the cmos!!!

where's the challenge in holding the insert button????

SHEESH... LAZY BUM!!!

:D :D :D

MUAHAHAHAHA!:)My tower is in a bad spot.Its tucked under the desk in its own space.I have to unplug all the wires on the back to pull out the tower.Pain in the arse.I'll stick to the insert button for now.:p

sorry

i usually don't set my vdimm higher than 2.7 volts (which in actuality is 2.8 volts)

it depends on your board...

but i'd set it no higher than 2.8 volts

lets say your ram can handle 2-3-3-6 @ 200 mhz

sometimes, if you increase your vdimm voltage up .1 volts you can run more agressive timings like 2-2-2-6 or 2-3-2-6 or 2-2-3-6

give it a try!

you can test stability by using memtest86

it's linked up on top

when you run it do..
c-2-3-1-2-0 spacebar

and all the errors will show up if it's too aggressive

Is it OK for me to just set my ram to 2.7 and leave it at that?
