I fixed the problem, but i would still like to know about all the volts and stuff is someone wouldnt mind telling me.

..and won't you mind telling US what you did to fix your problem?

Re: OC'ing (Yes i read the other post)

Voltage Values
CPU Core 1.42 V
+3.3 V 3.20 V
+12 V 11.71 V
DIMM 2.59 V

the 3.3 V and the 12 V , don't wurry about them, these aren't important for OC'ing, it only gets important when your PSU would not have enough power anymore, and you can push up the 12 V rail for example, but this is only possible with expensive PSU's and those mostly just deliver the power .

the 1.4 V is the voltage over your cpu, and this is an important one, but not always .

it works like this , you OC your CPU, it will consume more power, power is Amperes is watts .
but when you OC more and more the CPU would want to have so much Ampere/ampere it can't get it in time anymore (trying to explain simple here) , so system get unstable , then you could consider to rase the voltage over the CPU to for example 1.5V , then the CPU can use more watts for the same amperes because it has a higher voltage .

on big drawback on push the voltage is heat, when turning up the voltage the temperatures will start rising more then you think and you will need other cooling stuff, or just burn your cpu .

the DIMM is the voltage over your ram , same story as for the cpu

so don't turn up the voltage if your system runs stable OC'd, only when you get an unstable system when OC'd and the temperatures are still very good, then you could consider turning up those voltages

Re: OC'ing (Yes i read the other post)

Adjustable voltages:

CPU Core 1.42 V : The core voltage of your CPU. For your processor you'll want to stay below 1.5volts on stock cooling.

DIMM 2.59 V : This is your Ram voltage. Most newer modules do not requre ram voltage increase to achieve overclocks. Leave this be.

PSU rail voltages:

(These are not adjustable from software. There may be pots inside your PSU you can turn with a screwdriver to adjust your rails.)

+3.3 V 3.20 V : This is the 3.3volt rail on your PSU. You will want to keep this around 3.3v, but more important see that it doesn't fluctuate.

+12 V 11.71 V : This is the 12volt rail on your PSU. You will want to keep this around 12v, but more important see that it doesn't fluctuate.

There are many things that can affect your overclock. I would try this:

CPU voltage 1.45v
CPU: 240 x 9 = 2160
RAM: 5:4/333 divider @ 240 = 200mhz (stock speed)
HTT: 240 x 4 LDT = 960mhz

Let us know how that works out.

Re: OC'ing (Yes i read the other post)

Thx, wreck, i cant find anywhere in my BIOS to OC my RAM, or lower the timings, all i can do it chang ethe FSB, multiplier (max is 9) and yea.. thats about it.

**AlphexHunter** · 02-03-2006, 09:02 PM

Re: OC'ing (Yes i read the other post)

dude just take it step by step with the bios setthing iven if you have to restart 60 times....(make sur your multiplier is at 10X)

**Blak_Phoenix** · 02-04-2006, 05:17 AM

Re: OC'ing (Yes i read the other post)

Yea i am, im only changing it a few mhz each time. and i cant set the multiplier higher than 9. It just wont let me... like it doesnt have an option for it.

Because thats the max multiplier for that CPU. AMD's are downward multi unlocked, not up.

Re: OC'ing (Yes i read the other post)

You can't overclock your RAM seperately. When you raise your FSB/HTT, your RAM speeds increase as well. You can only lower your RAM speeds by setting dividers, which as the name sounds, divides the speed by what ever divider you pick. You only do that if your RAM is erroring out and you can't raise the vdim anymore.

Also, check to see if your board has SATA locks. Anything over 220MHz and your harddrive will start to get corrupted. If you don't have a SATA lock, then you might be stuck at a max of 220MHz HTT.

Re: OC'ing (Yes i read the other post)

Yeah, and Nforce 3 boards don't have a Sata lock on their 1&2 ports. Try ports 3 or 4. What motherboard do you have?

Re: OC'ing (Yes i read the other post)

Ok here is my complete system info from Everest:

Computer
Computer Type ACPI Uniprocessor PC
Operating System Microsoft Windows XP Professional
OS Service Pack Service Pack 1
DirectX 4.09.00.0904 (DirectX 9.0c)

Motherboard
CPU Type AMD Sempron, 2000 MHz (9 x 222) 3300+ (its actually a 3000+, stock speed is 1800, but because of the OC, it thinks its a 3300+)
Motherboard Name Gigabyte GA-K8VT800 v2 (5 PCI, 1 AGP, 3 DDR DIMM, Audio, LAN)
Motherboard Chipset VIA K8T800Pro, AMD Hammer
System Memory 1024 MB (PC3200 DDR SDRAM)
BIOS Type Award Modular (07/25/05)
Communication Port Communications Port (COM1)
Communication Port Communications Port (COM2)
Communication Port ECP Printer Port (LPT1)

Display
Video Adapter RADEON 9550 Secondary (256 MB)
Video Adapter RADEON 9550 (256 MB)
3D Accelerator ATI Radeon 9550 (RV350)
Monitor Philips 107E [17" CRT] (CX 023254)

Multimedia
Audio Adapter VIA AC'97 Enhanced Audio Controller

Storage
IDE Controller VIA Bus Master IDE Controller
SCSI/RAID Controller VIA SATA RAID Controller
Floppy Drive Floppy disk drive
Disk Drive ST380817 AS SCSI Disk Device (80 GB, 7200 RPM, SATA)
Optical Drive LITE-ON CD-RW SOHR-5239S (52x/32x/52x CD-RW)
SMART Hard Disks Status OK

I can get my FSB to 222 Mhz, but thats it, as you said anything over that will get my HD corrupted, and because of that i have had to re-install windows, so i dont want to try it anymore unless i can find out if its... SATA locked... If it is, how to i find out and/or unlock it?

Re: OC'ing (Yes i read the other post)

Another thing, i tried bringing back the volts on the CPU and DIMM, and it has had no effect on the stability, so im now running at these temps and volts...

Sensor Properties
Sensor Type ITE IT8712F (ISA 290h)
Motherboard Name Gigabyte K8VM800 / K8VT800 Series

Temperatures
CPU 36 °C (97 °F) - was 39, (all temps are idle)
Seagate ST380817AS 38 °C (100 °F)

Cooling Fans
CPU 3444 RPM

Voltage Values
CPU Core 1.38 V - was 1.45
+3.3 V 3.20 V
+12 V 11.71 V
DIMM 2.50 V - was 2.6

Re: OC'ing (Yes i read the other post)

IIRC the VIA chipsets don't have a lock on the PCI/SATA clock, so it looks like you probably stuck as far as you can go. I could be wrong but I don't think I am.

**Blak_Phoenix** · 02-04-2006, 11:31 PM

Re: OC'ing (Yes i read the other post)

Darn, so would it be my CPU or my motherboard that is holding me back? If you think its the mobo, then i will prob save up and get a new pc, as this is a AGP one, and my graphics card is.. well old, (doesnt even have a fan or sensor on it).
