But normaly intel board doesn't provide oc settings in the BIOS. If really cannot oc in bios, try clockgen....hehe just my 2 cents

@RokXIII
refer to your mobo menual, the setting for devider should be available. If you able to set it to 1:1, your proc can perform better than mine. C0 steping i think same as mine. hehe. i check tonight

Which is it better?

4:5 with 168fsb:208ram loose timing (i doubt my ram can run at this speed)
1:1 with 168fsb:168ram tight timing (currently running)

i will try play around tonight.

is it? i didn't know that. I just know all type of mobo from Intel are not support oc.



@RokXIII
mine stepping same as yours, my max oc is up to 3.2+GHz but not stable.

you mean loose timing perform better for Intel? like 2.5-x-x-x?

i try and see the different. Thanks for the info.

now mine max only till 168 fsb 1:1, i tried not prime stable even i loose the timing to 2.5-4-4-8 =_=", i tried to play with 4:5 divider tonight and see the performance.

I try set to loose timing(3-4-4-8 loosest timing) and it run on 4:5, works fine but cant feel the different.
benchmark it is higher a bit. priming last night it seems no error after few hours. Will try to pump up clock speed to max, see how far it can go.




i set to default, the reading is higher than in bios. About 1.4v
But when full load it drop to 1.3++v, like what you said, not stable. Mine i can be quite sure that is my PSU not enough juice

1:1 it should be ok for your proc & ram, unless you r using DDR333 ram. mine 1:1 can go till 180+ but not prime stable.

hows your Super PI 1M result? Mine only manage to get 44s

now you running at 180fsb@3240MHz, prime stable??

my crappy 2.4A limits me at 168fsb, even at fsb it give me error after prime for 5 hours. i think thats the best it can go

same case as mine, for my case, the vcore reading is not stable, from 1.40v drop to 1.38-1.39v. i suspect my psu. I try higher watt psu(ayam brand) test it out tonight.

I believe if the fluctuate range is larger(till now i still dont know how large), it may cause hardware problem. Maybe i have to read the psu thread to find it out.

you ever try other divider? like 4:5, your fsb can go higher. i think maybe the ram is limiting you. what is your system spec?

*EDITED: should be 5:4......haha..confuse with mine. *

you have to change the divider, i believe now you are running at 1:1 mean your ram speed and fsb is running at same speed. 5:4 mean if your fsb is 200 then your ram is 166. so your ram is running at lower speed then you have more rooms to push your fsb. i think better leave this to expert, i am not a good overclocker.

i think you better read the fundamental of overcloking guide 1st. Nice guide over there.

you are using Acer PC? Branded pc usually doesnt provide oc options in bios. Hmm.......
