Cannot overclock 3800+ X2

[SHAWN]

I just got a 3800+ X2 and a DFI Nf4. Whenever I move the fsb up to as little as 210, the PC will crash at windows logon. The memory in Kingston hyperx DDR433. Is there something I am missing? Can someone guide me?

did you put your hyperthreading down to 4x?? maybe you already need to raise your voltage...

wait a minute!! was is kingston that didnt go well with the dfi boards.. or was it the corsair.. i can't remember

kingston doesn't work well with DFI, actually kingston just doesn't work well

i guess you meant hypertransport, but you are right he may need to raise the voltage

I have raised the voltage to 1.5 and still had issues

Bought Corsair XMS 2x512mb

Got to 2.55ghz 1.375 volts
Idle 32C
Load 39-40C
Memory is at 212mhz 2.5-3-3-7

I'm happy

Are those temperatures normal? My old FX processor was cooler than that.

i seriously doubt that!!! those temperatures are basically spot on. keep in mind there are two cores
