owh. ok. thanx..
btw, if i change the mobo.. do i need to setup window vista back or just like plug n play. hehe

if you change mobo, you need to reinstall the os and drivers, unless you change from an (example) abit kn9 ultra to another kn9 ultra..then dont need to reinstall

owh.. susah seyh.
eyh, i still can use the old RAM, Proc, and other part ryte??

only certain game are like tat... and more exp stuff can OC further...


if u change same chipset then no need... diff chipset u must reinstall windows...


depends on which type of RAM, proc and other parts... and also the mobo u changing to...

Perhaps you have to repair the installation.

only in some cases...

hi guys, newbie here
hope u guys can help me with overclocking my system

Processor: Intel Pentium D 915 2.8Ghz
Mobo : P5KR
Ram: Corsair 667mhz 1GB
PSU:Enermax FMAII 535W

[attachmentid=289331][attachmentid=289330]

i managed to go until 3.4Ghz but i checked using Prime95 its not stable..
what should i do??
does it mean, i cant go until 3.4ghz??
pls help me
thx in advance

What HSF(HeatSink Fan) are u using right now? Try increase voltage where appropriate..

check this out...
i strictly recommend this to wait for Penryn...

im just using the ori intel HSF
when i run 2 Prime95 using pentium D 2.8Ghz @ 3.43Ghz the temp is 49c..
how high can i increase the voltage for pentium D??
i tried putting 4.5v and the temp went to 60c..need help pls
thx

Its better to get aftermarket HSF like bigtyphoon or thermalright.. Then it will be more safer to oc ur PD.

it seem to me ur CPU is under voltage
here mine, i can only run on 3360 mhz. cant get any higher, coz it wont boot in my lousy 945 chipset of mine (which doesnt allow me to do CPU voltage), n its on 39-40c on Artic Cooling Freezer Pro 7 with air con on in my room now


ur board is superior, u should be able to get better speed n stable

Ur PSU also need to be a better than RM40 PSU.

my psu enermax 535watt is RM40 PSU??

FMA II has 22A on each rails.it should be stable enough.

and CPU-Z cannot show the vcoe correctly one.

v1rtual,try to increase ur vcore a bit a bit,then u can increase the speed liao,PD is a highly oc-able procesor,make sure u know how to tweak it.

whats the highest voltage i can go for PD cpu bro??
btw PD is really highly oc-able?? but how come i cant change the multiplier??
when i use core2duo on my mobo then there is a choice to change the multiplier
[attachmentid=292889]

Netburst multiplier already fixed. Only the Extreme Edition can change. max vcore maybe around 1.5v similar to C2D on air. Between use latest CPU-Z. I think ur oc on stock cooler already at best possible.

for me air cooling i will go max 1.6vcore.

Netburst multiplier is locked like bro §layerXT said,while Core have NO unlock multiplier,it can be adjusted to lower multiplier only.

anyway,before u oc ur fire dragon,make sure u got urself a better hsf.

vcore 1.6v, whats the temp of your cpu??
i tried 1.5v using intel hsf the temp reached 60+c..hahaaaa
btw, can u guys suggest me what heatsink to get for budget below Rm 150
planning to upgrade my processor to E6750 or E6850 next month too
thx

Can refer to cooling modding section. just add up RM20 can get TT bigtyphoonVX already.

RM150 can get Cooler Master Gemin II and if u tight budget a Arctic Cooling Freezer 7 Pro is good enough

thx for the help guys...
btw, hsf around rm 150 can give much better performance compared to the intel hsf?? scared later not good enough then have to spend more money

yes,with TTBT Vx and CM Gemin II or the AC Freezer,it's much more better than the stupid intel stock hsf.

alrite, will think about which one to get..
thx dude

where are u from...? if u from around Klang i can hook u up wif Cooler master and Gigabyte Coolers...

The 3Drocket from Gigabyte also is a nice deal. Can get from t3chn0m4nc3r.

im from sunway dude..
any suggestion for me??
pls pm me details
thx

How to overclock the DDR2 in bios ?
I want to tighten the timings of the RAM.

i m from sunway too ... kindly call me for a drink ....012-6941680 .... anyone who know overclocking ... pls teach me .... i nvr read the thread in front ... because it is alot ... i just jump to the end .... anyway , my com is celeron 2.0 and p4 2.4 .... thats i know ....


cal me BUF

it's all in the OC for noobs section bro... but for Gigabyte boards u gotta press ctrl+F1 to reveil the RAM timings in advance chipset features/MIT... and u can adjust ur clocks in the MIT section of the BIOS...

OMG... i dunno if i can OC tat to a stable level...

WAt is OC ?

edited : wrong post

its kinda miracle u enter this sub forum n thread without knowing wat's OC.
neway, its stand for overclock

neeenoonggg neeeenooonggg...
newbie spotted!!

it seem like all the old timer still here....hmmm lots of ppl are goin for p35 chip edi and im still stuck here with ds3 p965 rev1.0....hell it still stable for me...but still itchy to get the p35 to see wheather it good in ocing or not...hmmm..

haha, eventhough this thread is great for noobies at least u must read something about it first bro....
try to read the fundamental of overclocking first, u will understand something..
http://forum.lowyat.net/index.php?showtopic=17713

For P35 which is the best bios to use?

I'm using F2 but I can't get my processor (e4300) to run at 7 X 400.
my ram is using Corsair value ram.

err izzit pc6400 or lower speed?

if its lower speed then stop dreaming to run it at higher speed

I also got kingston performance ram that suppose to run ddr2 800 cl4.
Also try 7 x 400 fail to even post.

have u gone thru the Overclock tread?

perhaps, u should fulfill the requirement(tweaking, voltage(s), etc) in order to make sure ur rig able to b0ot at 400 x7

U r very unhelpful here.
If U r not helping pls go away.
Of course, I know how to tweak here and there. Some of the thread, I also read already.

Don't simply assume people are noob when their posting count is newbie.

err... which board are u talking about...? i'm using P35-DQ6 currently... i reached 500x7 and the only prob i got is the heat...

Waah, u came in, u ask some question, then that fella answered u nicely, and then you reply him like that ah? so if you think you know e'thing, then y are you seeking help in the 1st place?

4 things i realised that you need to consider in oc'ing : -

1. Power, PSU mesti bagus punyer...
2. Voltage Tweaking, you need more voltage on Vcore or Vdimm so that it can operate in higher freqs (yeah i know it sounds n00b, but screw it)
3. Ram kene bagus punyer.. if value ram, hopefully you get those good value rams, and add lots of cooler and increase Vdimm like hell..
4. Temp, what cooler u using now? if stock, mmg susah nak naik high freq.. note on cooler though, not only cpu cooler, but northbridge cooler as well

I am new to OC'ing, and I just recently overclocked my E6400 2mb Cache (2.13gHz) to 3.2gHz. I came across a problem of when I run a stress program (Orthos and Stressprime) I get this error message saying: (Execution Halt fatal error hardware failure refer to stress.txt). That's what happens when I do a blend test of cpu and ram. But when I try to do a cpu only stress, there was no problems? Is the ram limiting me? I am only at 1.35V and 3.2gHz with temperatures of 45 idle and 54 load. I think i can push more any tips?

My setup:
Intel C2D E6400 @ 2.13gHz
G-Skill PC6400 DDR2 800 / 4-4-4-12
Asus P5B (P965 chipset)

the fsb i set is currently 400, the fsb to ram speed ratio is still at 1:1.

Anyone can tell me what's wrong? OR do i really have to clock down?

ur ram should be at 800MHz and 4-4-4-12 timing right?should be no problem,since u have a good ram.

try to pump a bit only vdimm to ur ram.

I jumped the gun and pump up my voltage to 2.1V (i am determine to fry my system so i have an excuse to get a new one) and still doesn't fix the problem. I turned my fsb down to 385 and no problems at all. I think it's the ram.

So now another noobish question, lets say it is the damn ram. Then right now i go get a better performance ram that is rated at 800 but can go more, but I mix it with the current ram the problem will still be the same? or Do have to remove these rams and use only the new ones. I have 2gb now, maybe buy another 2gb for fun. I think i am being over paranoid. I am using vista now, and my system at idle is already taking 30 - 38% of my ram. Do you think i need 4gb ram?

for just home users 2Gb is enough ady..
its a waste to use 4GB

no need,cause windows xp is 32bit and it will only detect 3.4GB and even i used GB last tiem also more than enough.

ur G-skill is value ram?
if u get another 2 stick of ram and install it to 4gb,since ur g-skill still there,if u oc also will encounter the problem,

u better take it off and replace with another ram and see whether is ur mobo or ur ram problem.
