need a little help

[Kraeoss]

hi guys,
just got some budget parts cpu/mb and i basically need a little help with overclocking in a gigabyte bios...

board is a p31-s3g
cpu is an e2200 dual core
memory is 2 gig stick of value crucial memory @ 5-5-5-15

got the chip up to 2.75 GHz but after that it kinda resets the settings.

so calling on the collective gigabyte bios owners plz help thx

What settings are you using? Be as specific as possible.

 

[Kraeoss]

core v = 1.4
vid = 1.35
multi = 11
fsb = 250
everything else on normal

well it may seem like i hit a wall here cant seem to get over 2.75 GHz @ 1.4v bios

What're you running your RAM at? Try to keep it as close to its stock speed as possible. Also, what's the RAM rated for?

 

[Kraeoss]

ddr2 800 @ 722

is it possible that i have to increase the vcore a little more ? 1.425v ?

Did you do all the overclocking in tandem? That's a no-no, and will take you longer to find a not-the-best configuration
Do all this, while recording your progress at EVERY step (there's not much worse than getting carried away, making a boatload of leaps, and having to reset cmos, leaving you with no clue what the settings were last at)
1)Set your cpu to the highest safe voltage you feel comfortable with + @ lowest multiplier, and keep the ram @ the closest speed =< stock speed (through dividers) while ramping up the board's fsb. You'll have found the fsb wall, instable zones of fsb for the board, and adequate voltages the mobo (alone) requires to reach those fsb settings.
2)Then, return the fsb to stock mhz, keeping the voltages the same for the mobo and putting the cpu multi to the highest while returning vcore to the stock levels (keep the memory in the same configuration as previously). Move the fsb up again, and whenever you hit no-posts, feezes, or instability, increase the vcore till it is rectified. If you hit a wall where increasing the vcore as high as you can doesn't help things, return it to the previous voltage, up the NB voltage a notch, and try the vcore again.
3)After you have your fsb+cpu @ the optimal levels (sometimes you'll get a higher clock with your fsb above a band of instability and the cpu at a lower multiplier), you can play with the ram.

ok guys i have reached 2.88 GHz @ 1.408v should i send i higher ??

ahh i've done it 3.0 @ 1.488v core temp @ load do not exceed 54-54 c
