Overclocking CPU =)

[uplink19]

Ok so I have begun over-clocking. Here are my system specs:



1 x ($69.99) MB ASUS M4A785-M 785G R $69.99
1 x ($49.99) PSU ROSEWILL| RV2-600 600W R $49.99
1 x ($104.99) MEM 2Gx2|GSK F2-8500CL5D-4GBPK R $104.99
1 x ($29.99) CASE ROSEWILL|R218-P-BK RT $29.99
1 x ($69.99) HD 750G|SEAGATE 7K ST3750528AS % - OEM $69.99
1 x ($58.99) CPU AMD|ATH II X2 245 AM3 2.9G RT $58.99
1 x ($25.99) DVD BURNER LITE-ON | IHAS424-98 R $25.99
1 x ($-68.96) DISCOUNT FOR COMBO #406250$-68.96


I am currently running at 3654 MHZ. I have raised my frequency to 252.0 MHZ. If I try 260 I get the blue screen of death. But my temperature right now is hanging at 45C when stress testing. What is causing the blue screen of death at 260? Do I need to raise my voltage?

Let me correct myself. Blue screen of death at 250..... I am now running at 245. so 3.550 Ghz.

hey man,

I dont know about this, but if you have something to add to a post, dont make another one, click the edit button and edit your previous post. Im just telling you so you dont get a warning by an admin, they REALLY dont like it when people do what you are doing. just a FYI

good luck and have fun!


EDIT: ( see I'm editing my post instead of making another post )

try lowering your frequency to 200 and multiplyer to 19 and voltage of 1.48. that will be 3.8ghz try that

he has an x2 245 which isn't a black edition cpu, so it's muliplier is locked at like 14.5 i think.

 

[uplink19]

Ok sorry about that! Yup I am locked at 14.5!

Should I try staying at 245 and raise my voltage?

 

[Sean W.]

hmm...

thats sucky, raising your voltage wont raise your speed, just increase heat.

 

[uplink19]

If I raise my voltage will it make it more stable to keep increasing the clock speed?

 

[Sean W.]

yea, but dont go over 1.5 volts and raising voltage will dramaticly increase your temperatures. then you start chasing the rabbit down the hole of chasing temperatures, gotta be careful its a deep and never ending hole.

I just spent $180 on water cooling parts cause I'm faling down that hole right now

Yes, it will, and at 45C load, you have plenty of overhead.

Ok I am confused. I went into the Bios settings and Increased "CPU voltage" by a few increments. But the voltage increase doesn't show up on any of my temp software. And also there are 3 different voltage options...


CPU Voltage
VDDNB Over Voltage
Chipset over Voltage

I just want to stay with CPU voltage right?

 

[patonb]

Yes. Cpuz might show the change as Core Voltage. But with the boards Vdroop, it might not show up.
