Won't POST

I'm on a 3500+ Winnie at 2.6 right now. My settings are:

HT: 3x
FSB: 260
Multi: 10x
Vcore: 1.5
Overvid: 8.3%
AGP: 66
Ram voltage: 2.75
AGP Voltage: 1.5

I'll go and set the FSB up 10, but as soon as that happens my mobo stops POSTing and I have to reset CMOS. Any suggestions? I'm using OCZ EL Gold Rev2 DDR500 ram.

leave it as it is or get a new upgraded cooler.
i would leave it though. 2.6 is damn fast as it is already. it'll run your games fine.

Have you tried bumping the agp up to 1.6? Or bumping the RAM volts to 2.8? Wow you are going for 2.7 nice 🙂

 

[Mrvile]

Thanks guys I'm gonna run everyday at 2.6, I mean I really don't need the 2.7 but it would be nice just to hit it, brag, then back it off.

 

[Mrvile]

Well, I did what you told me Dan and got it to post. Now time for some P95 failure.

EDIT: Died in 15 seconds. Time for some voltage uppage.

 

[JBDan]

LOL you are a brave one! Prime 95 stable @ 2.6? Excellent if so!

 

[Mrvile]

Well P95 has been running for the past minute 😛 but I'm getting yucky temps (just under 55). If I get this to run stable I'm gonna back off from 1.63 or whatever I'm at to 1.59

EDIT: Did I just get lucky or something? I run 2.6 at like 1.55v, barely OC the ram, and no raising of AGP frequency or voltage.

3 minutes, crapped out on me. Forget it.

Hah! 2.6 is nice man go with it.

lol yeah well I had fun, I'm back down to FSB: 306, Multi: 8.5x, giving me roughly 2.6ghz. I forgot what voltages I was giving it so I just set it to something like 1.45@8.3%, which is like 1.5 - 1.52v. Time to run P95.

Weird: When I had my voltages at like 1.6 my idle temps were around 31, now with them lower the idle temps are around 34 (33 if I get lucky). Explanation?

Hmmm (scratchin my head)... Maybe faulty software monitor readings? You open a window? lol

Sorry my intrnet connec went out i guess

Ok thanks Dan for all the help. I'm at 306x8.5, 1.5@5.0%, and I'll stick with that. She's been through a lot today, I'm proud of her, time to give it a break.

Let's move onto Mr. 6800GT...😛
