yeah both ur mobo and procs is very good in OC.. maybe u should try it first.. then u will know how far it can go ler..

i wanna ask my rig
lga775 3.0Ghz
gigabyte 8i915G duo
512mb x2 geil ram
acbel ipower 450w
my HSF is aerocool gt1000 gold plated

can OC until 4.0mhz ah...for benchmarking onli.....dont tell me try cuz i takut explode

i got put devider for my ram & loosen off all the timings when i oc my cpu...
but shouldn't be the rams that cause the limitation...
as last night till now i'm running at 250mhz ddr500 2.5-3-3-5 PAT and test stable.

as for vcore.. , i've tried increase the vcore... it seems didn't works though..
at 3.6ghz 240 fsb, i'm 2 prime stable at 1.5v ....
got once when i'm madddd~ ... when ocing fsb 255 , keep upping my vcore till 1.65v ..
but still.. it didn't works... , as keep on fluctuating...
sigh..~..  so sad...`
hmm...  if cooling it's the problem...  how would the thermal cause the fluctuations of the frequency? ...
hmm... when i upping fsb above 240 , the full load temp. is 70c .
but prescott can handles safe temperature range till 80c right?
and again.. , is it possible that thermal causing the fluctuations?
i never heard intel cpu got this feature.

neh...`.. nothing great..`
i remember got one forumer hit 270mhz ddr540 with his kvr dt-d43....`
now that's amazing for a value rams to hit 270mhz ddr540 ...

my 2.4c D1 is currently overcloked to 3.2Ghz. ram timing is 2.5-3-3-7 and divider 5:4. my ram is OCZ platinum EL PC3200 rated at 2-2-2-5. my processor is running on stock HSF and just recently i have cleaned the surface of the cpu, so there is no more cooling cream, only pure contact between the cpu and heatsink. on idle, the temperature is 40 while in full load it's 50. so far so good as it is stable and passed all tests.

my question is can i go higher without risking of damage to my cpu. how high can i go with stock HSF. i'm sure i haven't hit the wall yet, but i don't dare to push higher, risking my components.

any advice will be appreciated

i've a problem here.evertime i restart my pc, my overclocked proc will also reset to normal.why?? and how to increase my volt 4 proc??using what software.now i'm using clockgen..hope u all can help me...my spec as my signature below.

p4 3.0GHz prescott can reach around 39-40sec with tight ram timing, and after overclocked to 4.0GHz, migh hit 30/31sec

very nice results for a 2.6c proc overclocked to 3.3GHz

Evogenix

Nevermind lol, BTW I'm just "waiting" for something new. After I get these stuff I will perform a serious overclocking series that never be attempted by everyone...hehehe

BTW, how about your PAT setting? It enable or disable during overclocking?
