System Specs:
Athlon XP 3200+ (Barton Core)
Asus A7V880 motherboard (latest BIOS)
OCZ DUAL CHANNEL OPTIMIZED PLATINUM 2X512MB DDR PC3200 HEAT SPREADER REV.2 CL 2-2-2-5
THERMALRIGHT SLK-947U SOCKET-A/478 COPPER HEATSINK
This is my fist time overclocking. I read up as much as I can on the subject but would like some suggestions. I set my FSB to 225 Mhz and my ram timings are set to 2-3-2-6 (my motherboard doesn't allow for lower timing even at stock speeds, the system won't POST) My voltages are set to auto, and the system boots up fine. I ran the processor at 100% utilization for over 30 min and the max temp reached was 60 degrees celcius. I then ran PRIME95 (blend test) and got a hardware error. I realize this means that my overclock is not stable. My question is what do i do next ? Raise voltages (which voltages do i change and to what values), change ram timings, etc ? Ideally I would like to overclock further than this.
Help and suggestions are appreciated.
