To techno, I am using P35 DS3 bios F2 using cpu e4300
To rock,
I will apologise if I sound too rude but U should read how he reply. Somehow, he got the the wrong side of my nerve.
To ur question,
1. I am using strider 560w (not bad right?)
2. I manage to OC to 3Ghz using 333 X 9. but unable to do 400 X 7 (Shouldn''t be voltage problem right???)
3. I got performance RAM running DDR2 800 ~!!!! (SO???)
4. Using TT V1 3Ghz below 60'c load orthosing. My motherboard heat reading is below 50'c so don't need extra cooling, right?
So my question is, Is it bios the problem that is limiting my CPU from running 400 X 7 ???
your main question was about bios, and IINM, ppl say that P35 DS3 is actually a really good oc'ing mobo, so i don't think it's the cause of the un oc ability.. need to ask those who's using p35 mobo about the bios they're using.. but i always go with the latest bios.. is f2 the latest bios? let's answer the others..
1. 560w strider ah? im using the same ler..
2. 333x9 bley, but 400x7 takle? possible explanation is either of this two, cpu hit wall at 400MHz FSB, or something is wrong with you rams..
3. Your rams.. ddr2 800MHz performance, did you tweak it in the bios? try loosening up its timing, or it's speed.. wanna see what's actually causing the prob.. either your cpu, or your rams..
4. hmm, suppose no need extra cooling ler...
oc'ing is about patience and luck for.. i don't have the patience sometimes
