overclocking PD820 with ecs c19

[jakedademon]

hi all first post,

first of all im not new to computers but im new to manually OCing CPU and ram.

i have a pentium D 820 that i pulled out of a HP, and the rest of my hardware is retail from newegg. ECS slit a nforce570 5.1, the proc is 2.8 ghz with 24+32, 1+1mb cache, voltage is showing up at 1.24, but when i push the FSB up i cant get close to what others are getting on their 820 with different boards, i know that i should be able to push it further than 3ghz, i dont have temp problems , but the voltages arent right when i push it up. my ram is running at 674-675 and my timings are 444412 @1.9v with corsair xms2 5400c4 which is what manuf advertises at. the mobo has linked OC, but i dont know the voltages i should use since auto setting isnt working. i have tried for about a week with no luck, i get no stability past 850 FSB, and no POST any higher than that. anyone familiar with any of my hardware to get some voltages i should be running? any help would be great. thanks. xfire jakedademon

820's are flame throwers. Getting to 3ghz you already did better than my 830 could do. It was throttling at stock speeds, hitting 75c. Even after giving it water cooling it still couldn't overclock at all. Try loosening the timings on your ram, and setting the voltage to 2v, but don't expect to get very far.
