hero spotted


nah dude thats cause of intel stock cooler thermal paste..

its not good and its too thick
if ures is a G0 which normalyl it is nowadays
get a thermal paste and reapply.. ( check the thermal paste guides..etc.. on how much too put.. which is very little actually )
and should be no worries after that

also good airflow with no cable clutters to block the airflow from the front to the back of the casing will improve
opening the side of the case with cable clutters will not make a difference

I am actually using some generic paste but that is the limitation of Artic cooler with that tiny flow fan Now using Xigmatek already

blind man spotted.. oops sorry blind kid spotted
read again ..

thermal paste response not for u
its the voltage for air cooling..

It is actually 1.24v due to old bios Now updated and now is doing 1.37V set(Drop to 1.34V) 4ghz 24/7

sorry, not sure i can post here.

The problem is i fail to OC cpu above 3.5Ghz, CPU fail to boot, or blue screen.
it that the max OC for pentium D? or my PSU no good enough?
fail to boot vcore above 1.35v.

my rig:
Pentium D 820
Abit IP35P
Cooler Master 460Watt
Ram: Corsair 1066
NViDIA Quadro NVS 285
3units 120mm fan.
1 unit sata 320Gb hitachi HDD
1 unit sata dvd-rw drive



Please help...

just wondering

wat is the max temp for

Foxconn MARS northbridge

coz mine often goes up to 60 degrees

just oc the cpu 10% and mobo oc 18%

wonder why izzit normal??

any tips?

my Gcard : Gecube HD3870 Turbo III
CPU : E8400

see my screeniee weird ma default clocks but crazy temps

Attached thumbnail(s)

I THINK U HAV TO GET BETTER PSU FOR OC.
THEN SHOULD BE ABLE TO GET ABOVE 1.35V FOR VCORE....

whats a locked sata port?
How do i know if the port is locked?
Mobo as per signature

Locked SATA ports means that the ports will not be overclocked when you overclock you mobo/CPU/rig....

If the SATA port is not locked, you will get corrupted data when you overclock your rig...

You can either check your mobo's manual or google it on the net....

For example, I was previously using a MSI K8N Neo2 mobo which had locked SATA ports 3 & 4..... so I just plug my harddisk into those ports, rather than ports 1 & 2.....

ooo....now i know hdd can lock.

this is how i done it..i ll show it 2 u.
1st, i enter into CMOS setup utility by pressing delete button when i on the pc. Then, i went to advance chipset features (refer to the pic below).


Ater that, i make sure my system performance in auto mode. im not professional. then, i changed CPU FSB Clock, step by step. Save & Exit and restart my pc. when my pc restart with no problem, then i increased the CPU FSB Clock until max.i monitor my cpu heat also. no overheart.


Before


Did i do the right thing?or that is not overclock?

my expert bro, i'm newbie here n need recommendation to OC my tracer 4x1gb 800mhz with P5N32E-SLI n QX6700. minimum setting will do because never OC before. i tried oredi but cannot boot my vista la...................

my setting is in the tweaker extreme window, AI Overclock [AI OC] n SLI ready [CPUOC 1%]. is that all that i have to set?

should i follow this setting? but where to set the CPU OC?
AI Overclock: Manual
CPU Ratio: 8
FSB Strap: 333
FSB frequency: 400
PCI-E Frequency: 100
DRAM: DDR2 800MHz
Dram Command: 2
dram timing: Auto 5-5-5-18-3-42-6-3-3
Dram static Enabled
Transaction booster: Auto ( At 400fsb it will find the lowest.. so no worries)
CPU Voltage: 1.35
CPU PLL: 1.6
FSB Termination: 1.2/1.3 try both (until u can load into windows)
NB: 1.4v
Clockovercharging voltage: Disabled
Load line calibration (i think this is voltage dampener): Enabled
CPU GTL Voltage: 0.67
NB GLL Voltage Reference: Auto
Spread spectrum for both cpu and gpu disabled

this OC ing really confusing
it like ..................

I Need some help here.
What is the A.B.C.D means in System Memory Multiplier ? While i try to make it to 2.40 then the system wont boot and restore everythings to default.
Can some one also help me to check out anythings wrong with my OC... Please

the ram speed will be too high on CAS 4 if u put it to multi 2.4....dont think the 4gb kit will be able do so high on CL4... try with CAS 5

btw, always tune from low speed to high speed slowly ba....like that u ma can know how far ur max speeds is with certain voltage lo...ur gigabyte got OC software to use in window ma

system memory multiplier is the divider of ur proc:ram speed

2.0 is 1:1 ratio....

Not really understand what u meaning... but let me guess .. so i got to change to 5-5-5-18 then i can make it to 2.4?

yeah.. gigabyte having windows overclock.. but.. some pro told me dun use that to oc ... so .. i got to learn how to do it on bios ..

yeap.. i am trying to say use 5-5-5-15 settings actually

just use the oc software to find max speed slowly

I used the easyTune 5(i actually created a thread before..got closed by someone).. the max only got 3.6ghz ... while i oc in bios.. got 3.75 the max while get 3.8ghz .. cant boot..

did u add vcore?

n to find max mem speed...u can do so by reducing ur proc multiplier so ur clock wont be so high on high fsb...
