Quastion About Intel Pentium 4 1600MHZ O/C

Hello! I want to O/C my Intel Pentium 4 1600MHZ 400FSB...
I got ECS ELITEGROUP P4IBAS2 Mather Board...

thanks.

Well,

For starters, can you tell us if that motherboard supports fsb increasing? What type of memory do you have? Does the system have any heat or stability issues as of now? Do you use a fresh OS install to begin with?

I think you would be better off byuing a new DDR board and some nice DDR memory instead actually. You will overclock better that way.

Your cpu might be a champion, but the rest of your system isnīt up to par and i donīt think you get as far as it will be worth the trouble iīm afraid.

How much can you raise the fsb before the system gets unstable?

i see,

Im not sure you can overclock that system at all to be honest.
Start by giving it more fsb. Try 140 to start with.

Allright,


Can you download a program called WCPUID and run it? I guess that the multi on that cpu is 12 and that your memory bus is running at 133. OR the multi on that cpu is 16 and the memory bus is being ran at 100. Both of them gives 1600 mhz. The latter seems to be the most logical. Anyway, since your memory is at 100, but the chipset is quad-bumping that speed, therefore making it a theoretical 400fsb.

For every fsb you are adding, lets say you add 5. That would make the total cpu speed at 16X105 which is 1680.

If there is any voltage options on that board, and especially ram voltage, i suggest you raise that a lot and raise the fsb.

At 1.6GHz with SDRAM it has to be a Wiliamette, so 16x100.

Gilad,

Iīm going to be honest.
If you donīt even know wheere to add fsb on a computer and donīt know what fsb is, donīt try this.
