specs:
asus p4c800 E-Deluxe Motherboard
Pentium 4 800 fsb HT 2.8 Ghz


Overclock
1st- 204 fsb = 2856mhz- voltage = auto - system OKAY
2nd- 207 fsb = 2898mhz- voltage = auto - system OKAY
3rd- 211 fsb = 2954mhz- voltage = auto - system OKAY
4th- 215 fsb = 3010mhz- voltage = auto - system has blue screen and auto shutdown
5th- 212 fsb = 2968mhz- voltage = auto - system OKAY
6th- 215fsb = 3010mhz- voltage = 1.5250 (lowest) - system error memory space low, auto shut down
7th- 215fsb = 3010mhz- voltage = 1.5375 - system has a different blue screen and shuts down
8th- 215fsb = 3010mhz- voltage = 1.5500 - system OKAY as of now


So, what do you think? Am what I am doing with the voltages correct?

    Hey, what would the safest voltage be without stretching the limits?


    *its a good 10:12PM central time here now and will be sleeping and going to school (why didn't we have a snow day? We just got 16" of snow and the plows are crap this year due to budgets), anyway, I'll be back at around 2:00PM central time(about 14 hours). Would appreciate more input. I have reached the 3 Ghz goal I forsure wanted, but how much farther could I go?

    <2PM central = 9 PM UK time listed in these forums>

    windows sometimes shutsdown all programs and appears as if it is booting, then scans floppy, then reloads desktop, first happened when the same network folder kept becoming unresponsive, 1 higher voltage might help this?

    9th: 215fsb - 1.5625 volts - "Parser Message" error stating " Value creation failed at line 542", pressed "OK" then blue screen and reboot.

    went back down...

    10th: 213fsb - 1.5375 volts - no problems so far

    Looks like that's your limit.

    But, now I am testing the 215 fsb again with 1.5750 volts, PERFECT so far, How many more volts is safe? I had to step it up 4 sets of .0125 volts this time (.05 volts).
