Glockgen allows me to OC in windows. Have you tried it?

Yes, I fried my 9800 with clockgen. I got very careless with a motherboard that did not have a AGP/PCI lock.

I used CG-ICS950405.

OK so you like higher FPS scores I see lol. I like the smoother gameplay of v-sync thats why I asked. Enjoy your oc and go for higher maybe 2.5 just use the 3:2 divider to keep your mem at 200 or below or if ya got the $$ get some pc4000 :)

Well...I could try and enable it. Wouldn't make much difference in performance since I was all ready pushing the limits before the upgrade. Now I can enable 4x AF. Textures on the screen were blurry in a distance without it. And the distance was actually quite close. At least now, if I enabled vsynce, it wont dip down below 60 FPS too often.

Yes, it excellent. Remember though - you are down one fail safe. When OCing via the BIOS and windows fails to boot, it's actually a good thing. It did not let you fry your hardware.

You didn't have to up the Vcore, nice. 2.4GHz is an easy OC for the Winchester core. 10x 240 is nice because it's a perfect 200MHz on the RAM.

As far as upping the HTT... It doesn't seem to have any benefit for the A64.

CPU-Z says I have a 939 Newcastle. I had the latest ver last time I checked. Sandra says I have a Clawhammer... lol

1.26 cpu-z should fix that Newcastle reporting (if ya care) but Sandra says the same for me . A clawhammer? is what it says lol

Make sure you run PC3200 on a divider. You should see it under Memory configuration. Set it off from Auto and choose limit. Then use the 5:3 divider if you want to get over 2.4GHz. If you don't you'll be running the RAM at a faster speed than what it supports.

Also set the HTT from 1000MHz to 800MHz.

Whatever your RAM is stable at normally. Like I said in a previous post...

If you put your FSB at 240, and HTT at 4x (960), and set the divider on the RAM, you will get a perfect 200MHz for the RAM.

It's actually a sweet OC, with everything except the CPU being within "normal" specs. It's also usually atainable w/o a Vcore bump.

I have also Samsung value Ram running at 2*225mhz, 270Mhz Fsb and my winnie 3000+ at 9*270:2430Mhz and i get throught prime95 100% stable. but i want further oc. Tried 278FSB but fail whithin 10 seconds in Prime95.

Its seems many whay to get further but can anyone give me some hints.
The HTT running at 2*1080 and what will happening if i lower that value?, or limiting the ram to 2:1 pc400?. I have vcore at 1,55 and ddr at 1,8.
