Overclocking question

I did it! I set the multiplier and voltage to what I said before, set the ram to 667mhz, and set the NB Voltage to +60mv. I also set the Northbridge to 2000MHz, I think I kept forgetting to change it (It was set at 8x before, Lol)

It works and I get a temperature of 29C at no load, I'm gonna test with Prime95 soon.


Thanks Guys!

I turn on my PC this morning, and it decides not to post or do anything...
I had to reset the CMOS to get it to post :(

It was working fine yesterday, the temperatures were okay and everything.

Any ideas as to why it suddenly won't work?...

Probably just need to tweak the voltages a bit more.

More or less? Or is it trial and error? :D

Trial and error most likely XD

From what Ive read and heard a lot of people have been complaining about OCZ RAM so idk if thats your problem but it sounds like a good possibility. Now as for Overdrive not a good idea to try overclocking in that manor in my opinion always stick with the bios. Make sure your RAM voltages are at 2.1 too.
