IM A RETARD!!!
MACK...my vcore wasnt 1.75...it was never that high.... it is now at 1.625 sorry!!!
also...ive got it working in cas 2.5
so w00t! indeed...thanks again bro..u and capone (contacted me via aim) gave me my first crash course in ocing...and i likes it ....qch...watch out....
WuGgaRoO said thank u mack thank u capone...im now running at 2.8ghz smoothly!!! so QCH...eat this!!
w00t!
Make sure to check the temps. Just in case. Good work!
The next step is to run things at that speed at as low volts as possible. Try to go down on the vcore 1 step at a time and see if you still are stable.
We had a discussion on aim and he's running 1.675 47c @ 2.8. Sounds good to me :X Of course he's only using the stock p4 cooler.
Good man!
Any chance going even higher? Or is it the ram that stops?
That cpu benefits much more from fsb then from timings so, it doesnt really matter that much what timings you are using as long as you can put some real power on the cpu.
Try running on as relaxed timings as possible to see how far that cpu can go.
Mackanz said Understandeable with a stock cooler. However, 47C is peanuts and actually pretty good temps on a stock cooler. There is more headroom there.
Lower your Ram Voltage back down to the stock settings. Stick the FSB on 150 and try and boot if it doesn't boot, Clear the CMOS and do the same thing but up the VCore ALITTLE just a WEEEE bit. I had my Crucial PC2100 running at 180 on 2.8 Volts, it would run 166 at 2.6. Don't listen to these guys when they tell you that SOYO is junk either, they have been tellin me that for awhile but my SOYO has NEVER failed me yet and it OC's like a champ!
it never booted up properly...as of now..the ram settings are at 2.8v...and this is the only way i can get it to boot ...other wise id have to up the vcore a ridicilious degree...to like 1.775 in order to get it running nice at 155
well...i got it safely up to 2.94...with a 1.775 vcore...and the cpu temp is only 47...anyways...my beef is that from the jump between 2.8 and 2.9 i only have a few second folding time difference (3) why so little?
/edit
since i bumped the vcore up it now goes 8m59s per protein before it was 9m 37s for a protein...its not a whole minute...but its good enough
/edit
to MACK...dude..why wont my comp restart...whenever i chose to restart it...it locks up and doesnt go into bios...i dont know what rings i get cuz the pc speaker is fuxored up...at any rate.. i can cold boot it fine though..whats the problem?
Ageek said ][ardOCP has overclocked P4's and some of Kyle's articels show how. Most definitely true that some P4's can OC very well.
Not for long, perhaps.
Mackanz said The 865 chipset is a very good example of a great overclocking board for very little money. Throw in a pair of deasent memory sticks and you have an easy 3.4 gigs on air without any mods at all.
I guess Intel feels the same way. I just found this from X-Bit:
Sources among mainboard manufacturers said today that Intel will be replacing the existing revision of the i865P and i865PE chipsets with a new one that will not allow turning on the Performance Accelerating Technology, a very proprietary feature of Intel Canterwood also known as i875P core-logic.
Earlier this year almost all mainboard makers positioning their products for the retail market and hardware enthusiasts started to switch on Intel’s PAT on i865P and i865PE-based mainboards, causing sales of i875P chipsets to slump. In order to rebound sales of the higher-end desktop chipset, Intel plans to introduce a special revision of Springdale core-logic with hardware modification that does not allow setting the more aggressive transactions between memory and core-logic, the conception of Intel’s Performance Accelerating Technology.
Just after the new revision of Springdale makes it to the market, sales of the i875P will go upwards rapidly, Intel seems to believe.
Another example of screwing the computer enthusiast in order to milk the (gullible) public...

That seem to be a cold/warm boot issue and im sure it´s a bios or a PSU issue. You see, when the pc boots, it needs a lot more juice to POST than after the bios have been loaded. What psu do you have?
Antec 550watss...thats what doesnt make sense...it would make more sense if i couldnt could boot but i could reboot....but now its the other way around...this happened before numerous times...but only after i started to OC...what do you think...should i RMA my psu or sumthing???
well..this psu NEVER gave me any problems before...BUT in MBM5...for sum reason the Vcore says "1.68" but in BIOS its 1.775....what is up with that...
(note...the psu has been used time and time before...and it never gave me any issues...only when i started to overclock..and even then..it only happened recently..all i did before was up the vcore a notch and it booted up fine...u think i should do up it to 1.8?)
ALSO...how do we know its not a ram problem...i have pc3200 coming in soon...when that comes in ill oop it in and see
I would say that your board is causing the problems then. The voltages on my board was fluctuating like a jojo until some more capacitors where added. It´s dead stable at given volt now with a pretty insane overclock.
well as of now...my vcore voltages arent jumping around at all....every now and then it will go between 1.68 and 1.7...according to mbm 5...even though its supposed to be at 1.775....if i up it to 1.80...and my current full load cpu temp is 48...what do u think?

Now he does this...:banghead:
Well, I'm glad for you, dude.

That's what i told him :shakehead

If your not restarting then it might be a ram issue, check your timings
