Successfull 4400+ Overclock on DFI Lanparty CFX3200-DR

[Sweeet]

I have just successfully overclocked my 4400+ to 2.6GHz on my DFI Lanparty CFX3200-DR ( 260*10 - 1.475V - HTT*4) with DDR at DDR520.

The success of this overclock was down to 2 things, updating the bios and using DDR500 compatible ram. I'm currently using Mushkin XP4000 Redline EXTREME as you don't need to mess with the DRAM voltage.

I have been running 2 prime95's (1 on each core for the last 12 hours without the CPU going above 38c using an Arctic Cooling Freezer 64 Pro.

I did get this baby up to 2.75GHz not going above 40c but the second core kept on failing after 5mins. The max I can get my voltage up to is 1.55, do you think I need more juice to getting it running stably? If I do, will the special VID % control take it past 1.55V or do I need a voltage mod?

Cheers

Ok, so maybe I was wrong... lol My comp crashes when ever I play anysort of game... But the blue screens seem to be video card errors? I have a Sapphire x1900xt, could it be something to do with the FSB?

I've done some research and have left the voltage alone and am consentrating on the DRAM instead.

but something else is confusing me. The crashes were driving me insane so I set my machine back to stock values. Yet even though the games are playing longer, they still blue screen eventually?

Do I need to completely clear my CMOS everytime I recieve an error to reduce my chances of continueing errors??

Reset the cmos. Then set vcore to 1.4v and see how far you can push the fsb without getting a BSOD.
