yeah ive seen people go all the way to 4.2 and above, but the temp scares the hell out of me not to mention im not good with oc yet. I sure could use more advice.

Since u already fiddle wif the voltage, it's up to u to test it out. I juz give sum advice bout my o/c usually I try to affix to 200 fsb b4 anything else. If the mobo pass at that fsb then I juz slowly up the multi till 20 or 21 for 4ghz or 4.2ghz.

Ur processor is d0 so should be able to handle 1.2 or 1.3 for max 4ghz. So far most of the d0 I tried easily go up till 4ghz wif a good mobo. Problem usually is to fine tune and stability. Some processor do need 1.35 or 1.4 for better stability.

Ur temps is on normal room temp without a/c rite ? going 88'c is quite scary and tryin to hit a certain mhz compared to the temp is really not a good mixture. I usually o/c according to the room temp, if i got a/c I usually go 4ghz or higher if needed. But usually without o/c I down clk till 2.4 or 2.2 depends on ur processor vcore can go till 0.99 or even 0.90. Very good for power saving. tongue.gif

Do note, since ur running v8 it should be considered one of the best edy, so next step might be wc.

I bring down the volt to 1.13-ish (forgot the exact number) but there is not much difference in the temp. sad part is i can only run my ram at 800mhz. Any advice where I do wrong? If i change it to 1066, it will boot till window then it just restart or if not blue screen. 1333 well, it just wont start. lol.

Try to reduce ur qpi to 3600 1st if can, then use lower multi and try to raise ur fsb till 200 then once ur stable at 200 fsb then slowly up ur multi till 18 or 20. Ur memory is quite low 800 ? That's ddr2 speeds edi i think. 1066 also is ddr2. U should at least be running 1333. Is ur room very hot ? Or mebe ur processor itself is not a good batch ? I know my costa rica 950 is quite high at low clock as it's always around 4x even with w/c and air con. Where as my malay i7 920 d0 and 930 easily maintain 35-38 max wif the same exact casing and cooler during idle. But funny part is the max temp is quite stable which is 65 - 70 max in air con and w/c around 4ghz and 4.2. Both max temps r almost similiar for costa rica and malay.

my room is very hot actually. but i guess i can leave with lower cpu speed for now as long as its not hard, i downclock it back to 3.0ghz from 3.6ghz, used default on everything but vcore, which is at 1.18xx volt (forgot the exact number) , and running on 1066 ram speed. I tried on 3.4, it works, but its not stable at all. i had to lower my ram to 800 to make it work. I need to know what i need to adjust in order to get 1333 or 1600 ram speed respectively (or at least make mine run at 3.6ghz without sacrificing my ram to be downclocked at 800mhz. Yes i know this sound like a noob-ish question, but I'm really new in oc field, but i would love to see some positive numbers result, been resetting my cmos like nobodies business for few hours just to fiddle the correct setting. Thanks for the reply in advance smile.gif

If i got more experience wifur mobo mebe icould recommend sum settings but for now u need to keepon trying. Mebeucanpost sum cpuz pics ? Memory at 800 really hurting ur performance, mebe ur runing 1600 just diff mobo diff way of reporting it ? Cpuz got memory u can confirm wat timing n clock u r running. Sum mobo use divider while sum show clk rate.f
