Let's overclock my CPU!

everytime i OC, i always clean my HSFs fins to make sure they can handle extra heat to...

So I have been getting a lot of errors lately on P95, and I found out why. My OC is not as stable when the memory and FSB is unlinked. After I linked it, and chose "Sync Mode", I am able to run Prime95 without any errors.
Instead of keep upping my volts to maintain the 3.65GHz, I decided to lower the FSB instead. I'm just going to try to maintain a 3.5GHz OC.

EDIT - This is for my information only in case I had to reset the BIOS.

FSB
Clocked Speed - 3657.5
Multiplier - 9.5X
Memory/CPU - Linked
Memory Ratio - Sync Mode
FSB - 1540

Memory
4-4-4-12-1T

Volts
CPU Core - 1.33750 (unstable)
CPU FSB - 1.4
Memory - 2.000
nVidia SPP - Auto

Fine tuning now, and since I think 1.33750 is too high, I am going lower on my FSB to get to 3.5GHz Clock.

Glad to see you've got the hang of things now.

 

[sniperviper21]

how high can his CPU go on Vcore?

 

[Grantofhell]

easily up to 1.45. I wasn't personally doing the OC, so I don't know how well it handles voltage. Pending on his final clock, I can get a general idea of it. But I'm not suggesting any higher than 1.48 right now.

 

[sniperviper21]

ahh ok. because i figured 1.5V but all iv ever worked with was AMD cpus

Finally was able to run P95 for a couple of hours, and no errors with these volts.

Current settings -
FSB
CPU Freq - 3500.8
Multiplier - 9.5x
Memory Clocked Mode - Linked
Memory Ratio - Sync Mode
FSB (QDR) - 1474
Memory - 737

Memory Timings
4-4-4-12-1T

Voltages
CPU Core - 1.31250v
CPU FSB - 1.3v
Memory - 2.000v
nForce SPP - Auto

Hey uhh...Teny. Go into BIOS and check your 12v readout and post back on that. 11.15 is hopefully incorrect.

 

[Teny]

On the System monitor in the BIOS says the +12V is 12.03V.

CPU Core - 1.28V
CPU FSB - 1.28V
Memory - 2.00V
+3.3V - 3.26V
+3.3V Dual - 3.26V
+12V - 12.03V
+5V - 4.99V
+Vbat - 3.06V

Good, good.
