Hi guys

Spec of system:

AMD XP3000+ unlocked
Kingston HyperX 512DDr 400Mhz
Abit NF7-s v2.0
Sapphire Atlantis 9700 Pro
300gig HD
Pioneer DVR-106
Lite-On 52x32x52
intel Pro 10/100 network card.

I have been trying to overclock my system and the best i can get is
2300 (11.5@200) if i go to (12@200) takes it to 2400 but becomes unstable.

Is there any other way to get some more out of it i have tryed putting the mem to tubro in the Bios but is just restarts, not realy asred about the mem as i'm getting better ram soon. just want to get more out of my CPU as its unlocked.

Thanks for any help guys

get a better CPU cooler. try a thermalright SLK 900-A or higher. that will get ur clocks higher.

definitely make sure you have a good heatsink/fan, lap your heatsink if necessary and apply good thermal grease like arctic silver 3,5 or ceramique

You know, lapping hasnt really seemed to make much of a difference for me and my friends. Imean it makes alittle bit of difference, but only if its a good heatsink already AND you have high temps. If you're temps are low like mine, it never really made a diff(35C under load).

What you really need is that SLK heatsink. I mean SHEESH I run that thing without a fan when i first got it. Its perfect for passive cooling(NO OCing!) and with even a weak fan its perfect.

get the SLK man...its awessommmeeeeeee.

plus it looks like a work of art!

lapping my hs/f on my r9800p increased my OC... and i did the same w/ my proc hs and it dropped about 3-5 C on both idle and load... to me every degree counts but thats my opinion. The cooler it runs the better off i am in OC'ing

Instead of just increasing your mutliplier raise your FSB as well. Drop your mutliplier 11 for 2.2 then raise your FSB. If it starts to get unstable raise your ram voltage or loosen up the timings o nyour ram, but don't set your ram timings to anything anything super high like 3-4-4-8 as that will just slow everything down. Try for example 2.5-3-3-7 or something like that if it's unstable. If you also don't mind bios flashing check out TicTac's latest NF7 Bios.

Thanks for the reply guys

For a Case i have the thermaltake Xaser III super tower which come with

A1420 (TT-8025A),

80x80x25mm Silent Fan, 30dBA

Front x 2 w/ air filter
Rear x 2 w/ fan holder
[color=#ffffff]Side[/color]x 2 w/ air filter
Top x 1 w/ fan holder

and the PurePower 480 PSU from thermaltake.

And for the CPU cooler is a silentTower cl-p0025 and using arctic silver5

And this baby realy does the job

Oh for got the mem i have is 2x256.

but i'm getting PQI Turbo 1GB Ultra Low Latency PC3200 here is link for the review looks realy well

and gives Corsair XMS4400 and OCZ PC4000 a run for its money.

should add another Kingston HyperX 512DDr 400Mhz to make it dual.
It'll help boost.

Geminiwave · Sep 22, 2004, 12:47 AM

at best a 10% difference.

but yeah Techno is right. make it dual if you can afford it (hey 1gb of ram never hurt anyone)

drakesteakn · Sep 22, 2004, 12:59 AM

what are ur system temps. when i had my 3000+ at 2.6ghz with a slk 900-a i had 45C.

TaWasNe · Sep 22, 2004, 01:06 AM
