CPU not overclocking far

What are the temps?Bebi_vegeta

25C idle and 50C load @ 3.2GHz.

increase voltage, thats probbably why its not stable i suggest running some cpu temp tests afta you increase voltage.yoyo462001

thats what i would do. just increase the voltage a little bit at a time

What voltage do you recommend I should use (current 1.35V)?

Since theres so many overclockers here... suprised no one has asked this, but...

What speed is your RAM?

What speed is your RAM?

Swiftstrike5

800MHz, current timings: 5-5-5-18 .

Did you make sure to downclock it before overclocking?

What speed is it running at after you OC (could be causing problem if you forgot to downclock it first)?

You should just increase it the minimum possible at a time. Until it runs stable but without producing to much heat.

That's the thing, there is no option in my mobo to change the RAM frequency to what you want or change the timings. You are only able to change the RAM multiplier which starts at 2.0x and goes up. My current CPU clock is 400MHz and the RAM multiplier is 2 making the RAM speed 800MHz. When I up the CPU clock or the multiplier though the RAM speed increases, but it makes the timings rise (become higher numbers, not lower), so if that's underclocking then yes, it does do that.

Making it simple, at 3.4GHz (425MHz x 8.) the RAM speed will be at 850MHz (425MHz x 2) but the timings will be higher.

Yeah most Intel CPUs overclock both memory and CPU at the same time. Weird that BIOS has an option to OC the CPU, but not downclock the memory (or at least unlock it). You could try Ntune, but I don't know if that will work.Swiftstrike5

I'll give it a try.

Nope, doesn't work. You need an nForce mobo for it.

I've found an overclocking app for Gigabyte mobo's called EasyTune, I'll try that.

Nope, that doesn't work either. Anyone else know of another solution?

you also have to up northbridge voltage.Bebi_vegeta

Tried that, still doesn't work.

[QUOTE="Bebi_vegeta"]you also have to up northbridge voltage.ryan_returns29

you tried to how much?

[QUOTE="ryan_returns29"]

[QUOTE="Bebi_vegeta"]you also have to up northbridge voltage.Bebi_vegeta

Tried that, still doesn't work.

you tried to how much?

Well the max you can up it is +0.3V, I tried that, doesn't work.

You see NB is at 1.6v what's yours?

My BIOS is different to that one. Mine does not display what the NB voltage is and what you can set it to. It only has the options: Default (or Normal or Automatic, forgot what the name of it was) +0.1V, +0.2V and +0.3. Although in there it says something about revealing the RAM timings in the BIOS if it is not shown. I will try that.

Nope, didn't work. Could the problem be that I am lacking voltage? I have a 500W Antec NeoHE PSU, an E6750 and an X1950XT. Do you think my PSU is enough for my CPU when it's overclocked high?

this forums talks about your mobo... they seem to have the same probleme at 400fsb.

Also when you go into bios press ctrl + f1 then go into mip and you will have extra options

Tried everything said there, still didn't work. CRTL + F1 in the BIOS doesn't work either.

Then you must get the bios update... if that doesnt work... i have no clue.

Got it to work now. I've tried raising the timings but still, doesn't boot when I try overclocking the CPU to 3.3GHz or higher. My default timings are 5-5-5-18, what do you think I should raise them to?

5-5-5-18 is pretty high already.... I would really try to up the voltage to 1.375 on your cpu..

I wanted to know with what did you do a read temp?

I used SpeedFan to read the temp of the CPU and I've already tried putting the CPU voltage that high already and it doesn't work.

there's too big of a difference, you need better cooling.
