Thanks a Lot you guys for teaching me to overclock :hap2: Trust me i had no idea how complex it is.I used to think its just increasing the FSB thats all.Now i've learnt something.I've left the RAM at default volt and speed...I can tighten the timings to 4-4-4-15 when i bump the volt to 2.0.Is it ok? or shall i leave the RAM at defaults?

no no no...its not ok...as deepak suggested leave everything @ stock....you would not be able to see the difference of the tightened ram timings until you are able to increase the frequency. just for having some better ram timings bumping up the volts is not a very good idea.
 
Well i thought i was stable @4-4-4-15 @667MHz @1.9 volt...Sorry for the error...Although it passed the stress test,windows would suddenly start hanging after some 3-4hrs...So right now i'm running it @auto volt at 733MHz 4-4-4-15...It seems to be stable.Although ntune shows the mem volt to be 2.1V but when i check through bios it shows 1.83V. Am i making a mess?
 
mmm...run orthos blend test for atleast 24 hrs...if ur comp. passes the test...ur system is stable for 24x7 operation...and then u can leave ur memory settings at your present state.
 
Now that u have reached the OC u want....stress it like banik said...

RUN OCCT, Orthos, Prime, SuperPi and all....all together...

The PC will go to a crawl, but thats what we want, keep them all running for atleast 24 hours with AC in the room off....

Oh and keep monitoring the temps in b/w, dont let em go above 70 at any cost...
 
@deepak
Dude...No offence but i'm scared to stress the CPU so much man...Scared it may burn out...I had to convince dad a lot to get a new comp...

Also Coretemp touched 71-72 deg while running orthos...When the ram was running @733MHZ @auto volt.So now i'm gonna run othos overnight @666.4MHz @auto volt @4-4-4-15.Will post the results tommo...

Anyways any soft to monitor memory voltage?everest shows 1.8V and ntune shows 2.1...

PS:No AC in the room,bangalore is experience a cool weather now..

:@ find the max value of overclocking that you are comfortable with, run the stress tests and then post your results.
 
Lol, thebanik, y u getting pissed re, hes doing this for the first time, surely u remember ur first time :bleh:

@nj, yaar dont worry about frying the CPU, just make sure that in the BIOS, CPU Auto thermal control (or something similar to it) is enabled...

CPU's can go upto 100deg before frying (the Tjunction temp) but 60-65 is considered a good temp

Besides, stressing the CPU like I told you is a one time affair, the CPU will hardly ever be stressed like that ever, and if so then not for as long as the 24 hours to stress test it...

71-72 admittedly is a bit high, but nothing to worry about as long as it was after hours and hours of testing...

did i sound pissed....:ohyeah: mmm...neways u r absolutely right, u r always a bit apprehensive when oc'ing the first time.
 
well i ran orthos overnight(proccy-1333FSB,3.0GHz,RAM-@666.4MHz @auto volt @4-4-4-15).It had crashed when i checked in the morning,The comp was hanging/Stuck at the screen just after the XFX logo (before windows loaded)...Checked the log,It Ran for just 45min..Guess my RAM doesn't overclock :(
 
Found out the Problem,The CPU is stable only at 2.7Ghz ran OCCT for 8hrs stable...Memory settings at default...So shall i overclock the RAM?
 
My ram oc was not successful though you can try and experiment. in unlinked maybe you can try 700 or 733, but still leaving it @ default would also not harm you. :)
 
nj..

whats ur BIOS version..?

it cant be that the CPU is stable only at 2.7 gigs..!!

ur proccy needs more voltage..

try bumping up the voltage on Vcore..

and leave that RAM of urs aside for a while :) let it be at stock..
 
Well the Vcore is at auto...Everest shows 1.35,CPUZ shows 1.296,speedfan-1.3...Whats the max i can bump my volt to?I'm on stock cooling..About the bios..its some pheonix bios...No idea about the mobo bios

what? u running it @ auto, the first OC tip that was given to you was to raise the vcore to 1.40V and once thats stable reduce it in steps. I guess in the end you do what you feel like.
 
use cpu-z for checking the mobo bios in windows..
or start the bios while startup and look for the bios version on the first page..

since u dont know wat ur BIOS no is..i doubt it if u have ever changed it..go to the ASUS website and get the latest BIOS and flash ur mobo first..
 
@baasa
I have an XFX 650i mobo...Anyways i went to their website and downloaded the latest bios(P2) and updated it overnight...And CPUZ does not give info about the mobo bios,it shows pheonix.

@thebanik
No offence dude, my system was pretty unstable and the left everything at defaults...Just increased the FSB thats it..Just to see if its stable or not.Turned out to be stable @2.7GHz(50% overclock).And i kinda forgot about bumping the volts.

So shall i increase theVcore to 1.4 and VRAM to2.0V?
 
just oc the cpu as of now then go on with the ram. do one thing at a time find the max it goes and then go on to the next thing imo
