hello every 1 i need some tips on overclocking the above mobo basically to c what the best way i can get the highest o/c with the most stable settings i dont really use the bios so i dont no my way around them i have a 3.2 p4, pc3200 ram (i no its my bottleneck) 2x raptors 36 gb in raid0 any helps is greatful thanks

Hi cowboy,
If your starting from scratch and you dont have mega cooling for your cpu start working on the memory. See what timings you can get from stock fsb then crank up your ddr voltage and see if you can get them any lower.
With pc 3200 memory, as you point out youll probably have to put a divider on to get a good cpu clock. Use 3:2 and max out your fsb upping the vcore in one notch increments untill temperature becomes and issue. Unless you have a great chip and colling i reccon youll probably settle on 5:4 at around 240 fsb...

hi m8 sorry should have mentioned it i have a mach 2 unit i can my cpu to 4ghz with it been a 3.2p4 memory is at 5:4 i think with an fsb of 250 and vcore at 1.8 its not volt modded and i dont intend on doing it its stable like that for web browesing and normal stuff its just when i go to play bf42 or bfnam i get the dredded blue screen thing is it runs 3dmark03 fine wierd that and crashes using prime95 mainly due to my memory what do u reckon
So if you are on 5:4 thats roughly 10 mhz more than your memories rated speed..name='cowboy' said:hi m8 sorry should have mentioned it i have a mach 2 unit i can my cpu to 4ghz with it been a 3.2p4 memory is at 5:4 i think with an fsb of 250 and vcore at 1.8 its not volt modded and i dont intend on doing it its stable like that for web browesing and normal stuff its just when i go to play bf42 or bfnam i get the dredded blue screen thing is it runs 3dmark03 fine wierd that and crashes using prime95 mainly due to my memory what do u reckon
Perhaps you could consider doing the vdimm mod on your p4c... What sticks you got?
Is it the in place large fft's that crash prime? If your stable ish at that given fsb then run 2 X prime small fft's then you know ur cpu is stable.. Then do a memtest (sandra , dos whatever you like) depending on which test fails then you know what the problems is.. If it is the mem then you will have to live with 3:2 or do a vdimm mod or buy faster ram
let us know
