Problems OC'ing

Need help ppl.

MOBO A8N-E
Tried running the CPU ( 3200+ Winnie ) @ 2300 ( 230*10 - 1.46v )
RAM @ 383.4 ( 333 Divider @ 3-3-3-8 1T , 2.85v ) when it's supposed to run @ 2.5-3-3-8 @ 400. ( Source CPU-Z 1.29 ).
Prime95 fails after just 2 minutes when running the Blend test and also the In-Place Large FFT.
HTT @ 3x.
PCI-E locked at 100 and PCI at 33.33.

From the above, I assume that the OC should pass test as I haven't even reached my memory max. What do u suggest I do ? Am gonna run Memtest now.
Any suggestions ?????
 
Maybe your voltage is not enough for running your CPU at 2.3GHz. That is the only thing that could be a problem.

What is the stepping of your CPU??? It is the code written on the CPU. If you tell us what that it, we can come to know if your CPU has the capability ot reach high speeds or not..

You can try increasing voltage but note that it is dangerous. And make sure you have proper cooling.
 
yes , as nikhil mentioned above raise ur vcore to about 1.5 ~ 1.55V. it should do 2400mhz , or greater, easily at that vcore.

1) have good cpu cooling and adequate air flow inside the case.

2) which psu ??. a weak 12V rail cpu will also crash the cpu on high loads of the cpu.
 
Ran Memtest+86 v1.55. 2 passes - No errors.

@Nikhil, any other way to get the stepping of the CPU ? Am pretty sure that stepping will be written on the CPU but taking it out would mean that I've to wipe the thermal paste off it and I don't have the paste to replace it. I think it's the volts. Increased the vcore to 1.5 and am running Prime95. Good so far. But the load temps when running Prime is 55 C. But the temps r high here in Chennai today. Am sure will be lower if I run Prime at night.

No issues with the PSU deejay. It's an Antec True Power 480. Should be the volts as stated above.

Antec True Power 480!!! Cool..... no PSU problems for sure.....

And don't remove the CPU out of the socket unless you have extra thermal grease to reapply. And use only AS5. Go here --- http://www.arcticsilver.com/arctic_silver_instructions_big2.htm

Apply it EXACTLY like they say.

And buy a tube of AS5. Your temps will drop drastically.

Ask Crazy_eddy or Bottle both of whom are MADRASIS to help you out with finding AS5.

And apply AS5 exactly as instructed.

And read my siggy for more info on oc'ing....

And there is no other way to ge the stepping of your CPU.

I suggest that you get hold of a tube of AS5, then remove your CPU, clean it properly, note the stepping and then re fit it applying AS 5 correctly.
 
Thx Nikhil. And BTW it rained last evening here in Chennai and its been cool all night. Prime95 is still running and the max temp is right now only 48.

Forgot something. My Transcend 2*256 is Single-sided. The RAM chiips are named PSC. Anyone know anything abt. them ? BTW it seems that I've to indulge in seasonal OC'ing - OC in Winter when the Chennai temps r low ( Hope so ) and run at stock in summer when the temps r .... well, everyone knows.
 
ya the rains do help a lot in cooling down temps...
i oced upto 2454 mhz... but load temps were around 60C.. not good..
but its been raining for the past 3 days and load temps came down to 53c!! lol
so i over clocked uptil 2560 mhz.. increasing my voltage.. but loads temps have`nt crossed 60C.. !!
but i`m back running my pc at 2.2 ghz.... (less that 50C load is what i want and at this speed i get it at less that 50C)

btw how much did the PSU cost???
 
63 deg C is waaay too high. At least get an Asus Star Ice and cool your CPU down.... IT is going to evaporate otherwise!!!

Seriously --- such high temps are bad for an AMd 64. Don't allow temps to cross max of 55 deg C. Anything above that is waaay too high.... Watch out and take care..... don't get over enthusiastic....

I also indulge in soime serious oc'ing but I don't get carried away.... I may increase speed to 2.6 GHz for benchies but that is with loads temp max 45 deg C.

Take care.... .
 
face close to 60 degree temps as well unless i leave the side panel open then temps are arn 50c.. chennai heat has been horrible lately
