Okay... Wow.... Scary experiance
I have an MSI motherboard that comes with Dynamic Overclocking Technology (D.O.T. for short). And basically it uses this automated method of overclocking thats totally run by this chip on the board called the Cell. Anywho, it helped me overclock my venice 3000+ from 1.8ghz to about 1.999ghz (lol) all this time, with no temperature change or system instablility I know of. All it did was increase my FSB ratio from 200 to 222, and it controlled temperatures and whatever, I don't fully understand the technology, but the point is it gave me a bit more bang for my buck.
Until now
I was reading some places about how the venice 3000+ is like an amazing overclockable beast that can OC up to 2.7ghz!! So I'm like cool.. But I have no experiance in overclocking, so i look up as much as I can, read all the guides I can find, and I thought I might try my own hand at this overclocking thing..
I boot up into BIOS, and I go to Adjust HTT Frequency, I change it to 4x, and change the CPUFSB Ratio from 200 to 230. Then I boot up, and it locks up at startup, so I'm like alright, lets increase voltage, so I do just that, I increase voltage to 1.5v, and it locks up again, this time at bios it locks up !! So I start panicing, and immediatly change my settings back to before lol
I tried and failed, any pointers or ideas? I use an MSI K8N Neo4-F with PheonixBios with a Venice 3000+ with Stock cooler =)
