trying to OC my Epox EP-9NPA and AMD 3000 venice

I am not sure what some of the abbreviations are that are in the Quick and dirty A64 guide.

I have an Epox Ep-9npa+ultra withe AMD 3000 venice and 1 gig of patriot mem.

i cant seem to get my FSB past 205. I can raise all voltages without any problem and I can drop the multiplier down to anything I want.

Can someone plase help me with some settings

your RAM cant handle anymore speeds, thats the problem

try using a divider and setting your RAM at 133 or 100MHz, then try raising the FSB..... and go from there
 
That seems a little odd. Try loosening your timings. If that works, then you got screwed on RAM. Otherwise, I'd say it's something else. Did you remember to lower your LDT?
 
what is the LDT?

acording to anandtech..... the memory should be good to 230 to 240 without much trouble. I purchased this without reading its limitations. its 2.3.2.5

Patriot RAM has a good overclock if you get lucky, and next to nothing overclock if your not lucky

just use a divider (for the RAM)
 
I have a A64 3000+ Winny overclocked on a Epox Nforce3 board. Right now, have my HTT at 4x, my FSB at 250MHz, which brings my CPU to 2.25GHz, +0.05 voltage on CPU, rest is default, and my memory(Hyper-X) is set to the 166 divider, which comes out to 208MHz with the overclock at 2.5-3-3-7 timings.

Tonight I am going to try to push it to a 267MHz FSB, which would give me 2.4GHz on the CPU. Will probably have to back off either my memory timings, or take it down to the 133 divider for that to work.

One thing you can try is set your memory divider to 100 so it underclocks y our memory, then try to overclock your CPU. Once you get to a stable overclock on your CPU, bring the memory back up and test it's stability point, which probably wont be as high as the CPU, so a lower divider will most likely be needed.
 
thanks guys

I got everything to run at 247 FSB X 9 multipler with my memory set to DDR 333 ( 166 )

the pc is now running Prime 95 as we speak and it is not failing. I had the FSB set to 261, Windows ran fine but Prime 95 failed as soon as you started the test.
