Pentium D Overclock

[Casheti]

Shit... Well it's gone forever now. Put your condolences in your sig to the greatest bunny that ever lived.

 

[rpg711]

he will change that too bunnyseason: open again but its worth a shot... i tried to do that but he changed it... he is going to start a flame war

 

[Casheti]

He's jealous cos he's not cool enough to use it.

 

[Casheti]

Lmao.

LOL, R.I.P. bunny

Back on thread topic:
I am having difficulty getting windows to boot consistantly at 3.75GHz. Sometimes it just freezes between bios and Windows boot, sometimes BSOD, and sometimes it boots fine. If I lower my DDR2 RAM from 667 to 533 it will boot fine. Any ideas? My processor is very happy temp wise, and once it boots, it doens't have any problems. I have 17A/19A on my rails and 500w, but wondering if that's enough to push it further. Hey, where you super mods at?

 

[rpg711]

just get it to boot up once at 4ghz and keep it there 24/7... dont turn it off

 

[W1zzard]

asshole infrared

this is your last warning. next time i hear about problems with you you are out

Like you said you have to lower your ram from 667 to 533.... thats something I cant awnser, though Ive been thinking that it could be the ram in a way, or it could be to high of an oc for it to handle not sure....?

 

[rpg711]

oh yeah u could also raise ur ram and cpu volts

whoa u can make bunnies? can u make me and chashetti a bunny?

Sorry, my limited powers only allow reviving critters to a state of living death.

great... lol

Well I have a theory now about why it keeps crashing: I can't manually select my divider, so I'm at the mercy of my mobo's bios defaults. This mobo only supports 533 & 667 for DDR2, so I suppose when I up the cpu clock to 3.75, the divider changes (to who knows what), and OC's my RAM past 667 and the mobo won't support those speeds. Sound plausible?

Here's what I've found to support this idea: when I boot at 533, CPU-Z says its running at 667 and the latencies are 4-4-4-12, instead of the stock 667's 5-5-5-15. Therefore, if it's taking 533 to 667, it must be trying to take 667 to 800 or so... that's not gonna happen with this mobo.

Edit: With my RAM being OC'd like this, what type of cooling is necessary? Anyone have problems with overheating RAM?

 

[rpg711]

u cant set the mem speeds in bios? i can

 

[error_f0rce]

u cant set the mem speeds in bios? i can

lol, no I can't. The bios automatically configures the divider according to what I set my FSB speed at I guess... and while knowing that you can set your RAM speeds on your bios makes me feel warm and fuzzy all over, it doesn't help me solve my problem

 

[rpg711]

ok but i have a question... i am trying to fix my computer right now... when ever i connect the 4 pin 12 volt cpu connector, it doesnt start... i mean nb fan doesnt spin, nothing starts up. and when the connector isnt there, everything starts but my cpu doesnt... any ideas on wats happening here?

I assume this is the ULTRA 500w? I haven't tried mine yet, but holy cr@p now I'm not sure if I want to Ok, it's hard to diagnose a problem like that without testing the components. IMO, try plugging another PSU in and try it, if that doesn't work it could be a problem with your mobo. (obviously make sure you have the right voltage selected on your PSU (115?). Post if you find out more. At this point it's too hard to tell.

Hi there fellas. Im new to this site, but im always looking for new ideas to cook my computer.. I just built a new system based on the MSI 955X-Platinum m/b with a P4 930, corsair XMS2 DDR2-675, and a Sapphire x1600 pro video(pci-e, 512 mb ram). After i put it together, i was just toying around with the fsb and got 3.4ghz out of it easy. 4.2 Ghz is nuts though. Im just curious as to what you guys think that I could get out of this setup with a good cpu and vga cooler. This b**tch id smokin without overclocking it. Plays BF2 with all the video settings maxed without a hitch, but i want MORE! So let me know what you all think.....thanks

 

[Alec§taar]

You guys ought to take a peek @ InfraRed's guide to O/C

See subject-line/title:

He wrote me about HOW he got such as fantastic o/c outta his rig... & it is pretty cool, involved something called "VDroop", but there's NO arguing w/ the results...



* I don't know if it applies to Pentium D cpu's (or not), but I do know it is awesome!

(I told him to post the techniques here on the forums & share the wealth, he may just yet do that he told me in "pm" reply!)

So let me know what you all think

Yeah, nice rig.

Im just curious as to what you guys think that I could get out of this setup with a good cpu and vga cooler.

Well, you can check out what I'm doing with mine (see CPU-Z link and 3DMark05 score below), but for yourself I'd recommend some after market cooling for your CPU if you are going to continue to OC your 930. See post 115 on this thread:
http://forums.techpowerup.com/showpost.php?p=116580&postcount=115

If you get it past 3.75 and it's stable, please share your settings, ratios, FSB, RAM speeds, etc I can't seem to get over the 3.75GHz hump, but it's probably just my mobo ASRock

But depending on what your mobo and RAM can handle, you may be able to hit 4GHz once you get that cooler. I don't recommend trying that without cooling though.

i dont see why not,it's not gonna run any hotter than mine is it.it depends how fast your ram will run at mines at 902.you will probably need to use a divider to run it at what it will do.if you can i'd try and get some 667 or higher.you'll gain on the overall speed if your ram is running faster.that board will be like a breath of fresh air,i've had no probs with mine at all.i'm changing mine soon for one that supports conroe(core 2 duo).
this one-http://www2.abit.com.tw/page/en/news/newspop.php?pDOCNO=en_0606051
or this one-http://www.asus.com/products4.aspx?l1=3&l2=11&l3=248&model=1198&modelmenu=1
that one may be core compatible now.
look at this bad boy-http://www.gigabyte.com.tw/Products/Motherboard/Products_Overview.aspx?ProductID=2295&ProductName=GA-965P-DQ6 £187 tho' lol

Is anyone selling the Gigabyte 965P yet? I've looked around and havent found sh!t.

Actually, I meant the DQ6. Sorry if I wasnt clear.

i ran 3dmark 06 and got an 1876. I dont know, this sounds kinda bad. Im wondering why my score is so low. I set the fsb to 220 so im running at 3.31 Ghz stable.
