same case as mine, for my case, the vcore reading is not stable, from 1.40v drop to 1.38-1.39v. i suspect my psu. I try higher watt psu(ayam brand) test it out tonight.

11.75 - 11.95 won't damage your hardware one,just that when doing o/c it will be fluctuate between the range.

I believe if the fluctuate range is larger(till now i still dont know how large), it may cause hardware problem. Maybe i have to read the psu thread to find it out.

I believe the PSU playing major role in o/cing.Fluctuating causes instablity.

Hi all, please help to clarify ler..noob here

I'm using Pentium4 630 (3.0Ghz 2 MB) and Foxcon915 mobo. Try to change the FSB but only limit up to 215. More than that, the system rejected to default setting. Here a pic
[attachmentid=137992]

The idle temp is 43-46. hot oledy without oc. Can anybody explain??

How actually this can be done?

This can be done inside your bios mode....There are several choices for you to select there.But if not changing the value is always default.

Yeah already go to that option but locked. Any idea to unlock it? Kinda weird since there is option to change the FSB up to 300. But only can reach 215. More than that, the sytem back to default. Erghhh please help!!

you ever try other divider? like 4:5, your fsb can go higher. i think maybe the ram is limiting you. what is your system spec?

*EDITED: should be 5:4......haha..confuse with mine. *

I'm using Kingston 512MB DDR400, Value Ram. 4:5 ? What Ram spec meet that numbers? Totally noob here Please suggest the Ram i should buy.

Pentium 630, 3.0Ghz 2Mb L2 cache (Prescot)
Foxconn915 mobo supporting up to PentiumD
512Mb Kingston DDR400 ram
Ninja Schyte cooler

you have to change the divider, i believe now you are running at 1:1 mean your ram speed and fsb is running at same speed. 5:4 mean if your fsb is 200 then your ram is 166. so your ram is running at lower speed then you have more rooms to push your fsb. i think better leave this to expert, i am not a good overclocker.

i think you better read the fundamental of overcloking guide 1st. Nice guide over there.

915 chipset ah...I think the chipset is not good is o/cing....BAck to topic,the bios mode there should have choices to let you change the settings.Can you see the PSB400,533,667 or 800 ?

Hmm i think so. By the way, where is the menu in the bios setting. Below are the spec for my mobo.

[attachmentid=138176] [attachmentid=138177]

@fair-pley
more detail about ur ram(ic chips) and ur board(exact model) please?...

My mobo model Foxconn 915GL7MH-S.

Unable to see the ic chips ram. But it is Kingston KVR DDR400 512MB. Here the link : http://www.foxconnchannel.com/Product/moth...ID=en-us0000112

Already set to 5:4, still the FSB cannot beyond 215.

ok got it..
for the ic chips just look at the ram to identify it.. what's written there?..

Ok. Checked oledy. Its D43

hi thr.i duno how to oc my 2.8ghz to 3.2 ghz.can any1 teach me how?

you are using Acer PC? Branded pc usually doesnt provide oc options in bios. Hmm.......

yameh??i tot all also same de?n the max for the clock is 3.2ghz wor

hello, i'm newbie here..
this is my oc result of intel c2d e6600 using stock cooler..
idle temp = 45C load temp = 55C
stable prime..



can it go much better with stock cooler..?

This thread is to let you all know what are the chipsets using on your RAM there.you can compare the RAM chips with the info from there then you will know the RAM chip using from the manufacturer.


THis can be done in bios mode there by increasing the FSB.


Loading temp on 55 is very good already,can stay with the stock heatzink no need to change.Nice o/c on your proc there.

hmmm.mind to tell me how to increase the fsb coz i duno much in oc n i scared will make this pc getting worst than b4...

bro, how much is ur vcore ?

I think you can see it from the screen there right?About 1.21V like that...

i guess not lah....i'm oso got tat reading of 1.21v when i'm in 1.7v..

whenever after i incresed the vcore above 1.5v, CPUz can't gimme the reading liao....

i'm a noob here 2... i can't seem to get OC my C2D E6300(1.86GHz) on Gigabyte GA-P965-DS4... i'm using iCute 480W twin fan standard rated PSU... not enough power ar...?

u r using icute psu

Seeing that u have oced your c2d successfully. I just need few pointers.
First thing first. I just Bought below spec.

E6300 + Stock HSF
Corsair VS 667 512 MB (1 stick only - next mth wil buy another one)
Gigabyte DS3
Sata1 160GB
X550 (next mth will upgrade...maybe)

Let's just assume I have ZERO knowledge to OC as the last time I tried to OC was the P43.0E only using a software called aibooster by Asus. and I hear people say that piece of software is bull...

I can navigate my way via Bios but was too scared to play around with it without a Guru guiding me.

Here is my aim. I'd like to just OC to maybe around 2.5 ghz only when I'm encoding video for my PSP and anime (DVD-AVI/MKV), so it's not 24/7 OCing.

Just interested to OC without upping the voltage and only while im encoding movies/anime.

I saw people use a software that was bundled with the DS3 board but was not sure whether that is a good choice to 'easily' oc.

Your experienced advise is much appreciated. and a step by step guid would be great too....

I'm sure you received a lot of post like this and I understand if you guys just point me to a thread for me to read first. In fact I have done a fair bit of searching and most of the guide assumed that the user knows sumthing on OCing and some of the new guide seems too outdated compared to today c2d boards.

Thanking you guys in advance for your help.

err... as is said... i'm juz a noob... anything wrong wif iCute...? i borrow it from my boss... until i can find a realpower 500W PSU from either CM or Enermax...

no problem at all actually, just icute PSU not suitable for OC, use a better PSU to oc is more safety.

Not suitable for OC? U mean harder OC? Look my below sig.

i heard tht my proc cant oc coz of branded pc.is it true???i wish to oc my 2.8ghz to 3.2ghz which is the max for my pc

Branded PC can do overclocking one.They don't allowed the changes in bios setting there,unless you got a 3.2GHz proc for yourself.

but now i wan to oc my current 2.8 to 3.2 ghz.can or not?

depen on ur system and a lil bit of luck

but i duno how to oc.wat bios setting?is it at setup thr when restart a pc n press f8??

Bios mode is pressing F2 when rebooting....I don't think you can change the FSB inside there.

hmm.ok.i will try it once i back home.

i just try to enter a bios setting but i cant.when rebooting i try press f2 many time but it was nth happen.it just running normal until startup.wat happen?

1. press del

or

2. press ctrl + alt + esc

i have try it de.n found out tht i cant oc my this branded pc.thr don have any option to me adjust the fsb

Branded Set PC like HP, Dell etc... can't OC 1... even their gaming lines... they either factory OC or stock... they are set in factory settings only... tat's y pro user nvr use factory machines... factory casing maybe lar... cuz wanna cut cost...

Hi to all pro out there....
Im a totally a newbie here..jus wanna ask izzit Asus P5RD1-VM a good OC mainboard??
How much i can go with my P4 3.0G(630) 800M FSB with the mainboard above??wut things shud i consider??currently using CM 380W pure power..

THX in advanced

hmmm.then even the alienware pc also cant oc?

where to get cpu-z

Who can answer my question??help pls



Jus type cpuz on google and u can get it

go download.com n search for it

find it here

too bad factory PC can't be OC'ed. I'm using Acer Aspire with SIS chipset, is there anyway we can change the bios to make it OC'able?

the MOBO type is SiS 661FX
