Question.. is there a safe threshold when I up my Vcore?
I've seen ppl going in the excess of 1.6v. Is there a rule of thumb which I can follow perhaps without frying my proc? I'm currently at 1.3V (and auto)

u don't need to up any voltage for a mere 200MHz OC imo...  smile.gif

for phenom oc, u should k more bout ya pwm temp rather than d cpu temp...  wink.gif

yeah, at the moment +200Mhz OC it's stable.. but when I try to up it above that i.e > 300Mhz it either doesn't boot up or is rather unstable.
Kinda new to this so just trying to diagnose what needs to be done..

One sec. Will try to print screen what I have for you to see in a sec.
Kinda n00b on all this

I noticed that my HT link's like much higher compared to urs. Is that good or bad? hmm hmm.gif

Yep. Default HT is 1800. I guess when I OC the Bus Speed, the HT also increased together. Must be the "Auto" function that was set in the BIOS.

I guess prolly cos my HT went > 2000Mhz that my comp was unstable..

Thanks smile.gif

edit:
Hmm.. even "limiting" my HT at Bios (through AI Overclocker), didn't help. My HT went up to 2025 Mhz...when I'm OC'ed at 2.48 Ghz hmm.gif

im not vy noe about software base OC.. oni noe OC thro BIOS.. laugh.gif  u js lower ur HT link multiplier lor... make it stick to 1800 or below.. thn it will gud enuf..
these type of unstable is divide to mobo unstable:
1. FSB in amd call HTT
2. HT link( athlonx2=1000, phenom=1800,2000)
3. NB frequency(phenom only)
4. TDP support by ur mobo (eg: some mobo is 140W cpu supported)

all this is for mobo stability issue that nid to care for OCing..smile.gif

to be sure still nid care on max cpu freq & RAM freq..  nod.gif

*corect me if geting wrong... notworthy.gif

Well.. I'm not using a software base OC (e.g. AMD Overdrive), did it through the BIOS. Anyway I think I'll drop my OC to something stable for now. Will study OC in a bit more detail first before going the next step. Thanks again! smile.gif

Nice nice.. haha!
I'm using the same cooler as u too, but can't seem to fit another fan on the top. The "catch" on the proc to the mobo gets into the way. how did you bypass that? or am I fitting it wrongly? sad.gif

Lower HTT n NB multi, NB > HTT
Increase v core/ v dimm
Increase HTT clock slowly
Hitting 2.8Ghz shouldn't be a big problem.
*
Ok.. I can lower my HT Link and NB multiplier
But what did you mean by NB > HTT.. in terms of total Mhz?
What's the max I should be hitting to ensure stability?

I've reduced by CPU multiplier to 10.5
225 FSB x 10.5 = 2.362Ghz

HT and NB is running at about 1800Mhz.. but still can't really boot up
My vCore was Auto.. at 1.264v (not enuff juice? shd i crank it up?)
vDimm at 2.0v

Am I doing something wrong here?
Oh yah.. X4 9550 too... icon_question.gif
