Thread: OC Questions

You NooB! You cant keep the Ram at 1066MHz & raise only the FSB. If you raise the FSB your Ram will go with it. So if your FSB is at 333MHz & your Ram at 533MHz(1066MHz) & you raise the FSB to 400MHz your Ram will then be at overclocked(like 1500MHz or so depending on the SPD you set). You must set the FSB RAM ratio to 1:1(SPD to 2.0) so you can start to overclock. Look at my SPD settings in the bios:...

thanks for the help, so i got it to 3.3 ghz with 1.4125volts and i ran the ortho test and the max temp it got to on both cores was 60c, is it too high? and am I suppose to run the ortho test for 12 hours to test stability?

For overclocking you must have DDR2 800MHz or 1066MHz. +1 To get your max FSB without OCing your RAM just divide your RAM speed by 2. In your case, the highest you can set your FSB before OCing your RAM is 333MHz. Since your FSB is 350 that means your RAM is OCed to...

Yes change your memory multi to stay within the range of your ram if thay won't OC any , your going to need some good 1066 ram but 3.2 should be fairly eazy to get ..... Check your rams to find thier limits first that will let you know how far you can go with the cpu with them , I have some ddr2 800 that will do 1200 eazy ( sometimes it's the luck of the draw with 800 rams)
