My O/C Results

[rootaxs]

I tried playing around with the board tonight through Fuzzy Logic and so far here's what i got (dang you guys tempting me with all this OC talk 😛 )

Multiplier at 11, FSB at:
133.3 = 1466mhz stable - 40deg idle
144.1 = 1586 stable - 42
154.6 = 1701 stable - 43
159.4 = 1754 stable - 44

All this at default voltage (1.73v). I jumped straight to 165 after that but i just get BSOD's and Kernel dumps. Ran MadOnion and SiSoft benchmarks after each bump in FSB to determine if it's stable. Didn't do Prime95 though.

What do you guys think?

thats nice

what motherboard do you have?
if its anything other than nforce2 you might want to go right to 166 to avoid pci bus problems

what cpu was it?
did you remember to relax ram timings? (bigger number=relaxed)

other than that keep pushing it

overclocking does get enticing 🙂

I've got an MSI KT3 Ultra2 and an XP1700+ Palomino (AGOIA). I tried pushing it several times beyond 164 and it would just become unstable and crash on me 🙁 Everything else was on default settings when i played around with it, in fact 163 was already somewhat shaky. Haven't done OC'ing for quite some time so i'll have to brush up on what's needed to get it over that theoretical hill. 😉

3dmark and sandra are terrible measures of stability alone that is....You should run prime95, and memtest86 to really see if you were stable...

Also as an ex MSI owner I can tell you I hated the fzzy logic program and totally recommend to all to avoid ocing in any windows based program....Do this in the bios...

I did Prime throughout this morning and got similar results w/ no errors, i just wanted to use FL so i wouldn't have to reboot everytime i changed something. After all it's just for fun, nothing permanent. 🙂

remember to bump the vcore a bit 🙂

dumb question, but do i bump it before i up the #'s for multiplier/fsb? at what increments?

thanks 🙂

no it doesnt matter when you bump it

i would bump with 0.05v at a time
max i would go is max the board allows if temperatures stay under my personal limit which i set according to idle temp and room temp

Thanks for the info. 🙂
