Project: Clocking a p4 3.0 prescott on an ASRock mobo...

[Rambotnic]

Hi, i have a little question...how could i overclock my processor on my mobo...I´vetried doing it but it hasnt gone over 3.3, and even @ 3.3 its not stable at all...and i cant change voltages from BIOS...i can only see that the vcore is at 1.41V...please help me to overclock it ....is it possible on an asrock p4v88(Via pt880 chip)?

ok I admire your sig at the bottom bout learn from your mistakes but overclocking on an Asrock mobo justs not gonna happen an Asrock mobo just doesnt have the ability nor the performance to match anything else you can try all you want but ur better off using it for spare parts.

and whats that custom built cooler on your Graphics card? please message me im interested in hearing bout it since im working on my own idea for cooling too

lol...2x AC Arctic Fan Pro2L TC blowing the card from both sides...had to replace the original chipset sink for a smaller one i took from a cyrix 66mhz processor cuz it got in my way, I managed to oc the core 105%....I dont think youll be adopting my idea cuz its the funniest mod ive ever done or seen ...where can i ask how to remove that inbox cooler of my cpu?

Thanx...ok guys Ive been able to push it to 3.42 by means of changing cas latency from 2.0 to 3.0...what more can i do to make this miracle happen....Im in this project of mine to achieve 3.5 ghz clock on this god forsaken mobo from ASRock(like every other product of theirs)...



PLEASE HELP!!! This is my last Asrock mo-bo....I promise, and i will put it on my wall if i pull this off.... ...if not...ill find a warm place fo it....in my fireplace muaahahahahaaa

But...after this project is over...succsessfully or not id like to know kind of abit(heard it was best for oc-ers) mobo i should buy...it should be with s478 and dual ddr....and agp8x(i guess they dont have pci-e slots on 478 socket mobos)

I actually envy you I mean ive got a nice asus motherboard and a 3.0Ghz chip and i cant get the thing past 3.15Ghz its not unstable but if I go past 3.15 it keeps switching off just as it reboots and than promptly turns itself on again ?? anyways what are temps like? and what power supply u using?

 

[Rambotnic]

Im getting juice from a 350W Codegen ATX midi-tower ...The temps are as follows: 50-55(Idle)&60-70(Stressed)....Anyways, guys, project has failed...at least i wont be going for the 3.5 cuz allready @ 3.42 no benchmarking nor playing games is possible(errors of all kind accure)
