Oh and don't forget to use SMP Folding for stability testing..
make sure to disable EIST as well as c1e.
Also I don;t understand why people do this slow kind of overclocking.
I usually choose the max voltage that I would be comfortable with running 24/7 100% load...I.E 1.5v.....then I just make a massive jump to like 3.6ghz or something...if it boots and I get into windows I do an orthos run. If it doesn't fail then I raise the FSB a bit....if it does fail then I just knock down the fsb a little, and keep doing it until orthos is stable.
Then i bring down my vcore 1 notch at a time and orthos test it to see how much I can bring the vcore down without losing stability. I can usually find the preliminary (pre-8hour orthos) max overclock in as little an hour or so.
Bringing up the fsb 5 mhz at a time and orthos testing just seems incredibly slow and pointless to me.
Well because cautious people like myself don't wish to change the vcore since it will add heat and reduce the chips lifespan. I want to see how far I can get on stock voltage. Just wondering what kind of Orthos test do you do and how long and at what priority?
