Overclocking Wall :(

[mVp24]

I've hit an OC wall. I can't boot into Windows past 360FSB. So far I've done the following changes:

CPU:Ram =1:1

VCore =1.3725(or.3825)

VDimm =1.9

C1E = Disabled

PCIe =Locked @ 105

What else can I change? There are so many settings...

Temps: 30-34 idle for CPU cores

39-45C idle for Mobo

Specs in sig...

Thanks.

What are your mem timings and what kind of mem? Might want to up to 2.2v on the Vdimm.

You can up ur vcore more if you need too as well. In an unfortunate event you might have a chip with a bad FSB wall.

PCB 6 Layers PCB

Registered/Unbuffered Unbuffered

Error Checking Non-ECC

Type 240-pin DIMM

Warranty Lifetime

Is my PCIe bus set properly? Should I mess with north bridge voltage?

Up your RAM voltage to 2.1v and DEFINITELY up your NB voltage. Intel clocking highly depends on NB voltage. Raise it a fair bit.

What should I raise it to? How can I tell what the stock NB is?

What is your nb voltage set @ now? That will be the default value if you haven't monkied with it already. And what is your list of available settings?

Where can I check the NB voltage? (sorry im dumb) and I have pretty much everything available I think...

Also the P5K northbridge tim sucks. Pull off the heatpipe system, clean it up and apply ceramique.

In the BIOS?!?!? And what's the selectable voltage range?

[Mr. Smith]

Just slowly raise the nb voltage boot up and do a stability test.

Also, your vcore is LOW, unless you have a sweet chip you will need around 1.5v for something like 3.6... E.g I need 1.4v for 3.3ghz, more volts for more ghz but thats a pretty crude method. I think 1.55 is the max you can safely run 24/7 without shortening your cpu's life
