I've found my maxes for my overclock:
Mobo:
Will boot up to and including 335 MHz (HTT)
Chip:
Will boot up to but not including 2.90 GHz @1.55v (44c @ load on SP2004)
Will boot up to but not including 2.85 GHz @1.50v (49c @ load on SP2004)
Memory:
Will boot up to and including 330 MHz (HTT)
I didn't push the memory much further because I didn't see the need as my chip has limited me. So, basically, my memory will let me run a 1:1 divider (if you even call that a divider...). I'm going to follow Zebo's guide and shoot for a stable overclock @ 2.7 GHz @ 1.50v.
(2.85 GHz * 0.95)~2.7 GHz.
My memory, at that speed, in a 1:1 will be running at 1080 MHz (270x4). If I were to run a 5:6, I'd still get to 900 MHz. And if I went so far as a 2:3, I'd be at 720 MHz. I wouldn't want a 1:2 at all...
My question (the moment you've all been waiting for....) is this: Should I go with a lower divider and try to lower my timings? Is it worth my time?
For my testing, I kept the timings at stock (5-5-5-15) @1T. I'm going to be using this computer for gaming, schoolwork (Office Apps), and statistical analysis (SAS, SPSS, S) - in that order.
Thanks for any ideas, guys - you've been very helpful throughout this process.
EDIT: Okay, so, nevermind. The box won't post with anything above a 1:2 divider @
1.9v memory
1.5v cpu
270 HTT
10x CPU mult.
3x HT mult.
5-5-5-18 2T
I'll fiddle with it awhile...
EDIT AGAIN: Well, from what I've seen, I'm stuck with using a 1:2 divider - mostly, afaik, due to m mobo only being able to give a .05v overvolt to my memory. Maybe I'll fool with the timings, push to 2.8, or just have a beer.... Hell, false alternatives - I'll do all three!
