Im on P4c800 with P4 2.4C costa rica

[ferdz]

guys just shifted to a costa rica P4 2.4 and an asus P4c800, i wonder i couldnt get this to boot @ 3.3GHZ. This is so frustating since i already sold my Malay chip which could get to 3.5 @ devault voltage after my IC7's NB got toasted.

My current settings:
258 fsb x 12 = 3.0 GHZ @ 1.52volts
XMS Corsair 3500 (2-5-2-2) @ 2.85 volt
Performace acceleration is at AUTO

Am i hitting the wall at 3.0GHZ? :( can anybody post a nice working combination. thanks.

here is what I'm trying atm:

AI Overclock Tuner: Manual
CPU External Frequency (MHZ): 285
DRAM Frequency: 320
AGP/PCI Frequency (MHZ) 66.66/33.33

CPU VCore Voltage 1.5625V
DDR Reference Voltage 2.85V
AGP VDDQ Voltage 1.70V

Performance Mode Turbo


Advance Chipset Settings:

Configure DRAM Timing by SPD Disabled
DRAM CAS# Latency 2.5 Clocks
DRAM RAS# Precharge 3 Clocks
DRAM RAS# to CAS# Delay 3
DRAM Precharge Delay 7
DRAM Burst Length 4
Performance Acceleration Mode Enabled
DRAM Idle Timer Auto
DRAM Refesh Rate Auto

Graphics Adapter Priority AGP/PCI
Graphics Aperture Size 128
Spread Spectrum Disabled

ICH Delayed Transaction Enabled

MPS Revision 1.4

This is a p4c800d with a 2.4c malay and 2-256 ocz 3700 gold

Its the crappy p4's...a lot at eoc are getting them.

@namjir: I coudlnt run it at that FSB since my RAM is crappy as well as i couldnt increase my CPU clock due to a crappy Costa Rica chip.thanks for the help anyway, i did set my bios at the combinations you posted.

@twiztdskatr: youre right, i did get a crappy CPU. i shouldnt have sold that Malay chip of mine. thanks.

L309-11?:D

Damn I have one of those costa ricas, need 1.6v to hit 3 gigs,

That sucks

Welcome to xtreme forums ferdz !!!!! :)

First you should run the XMS at 2-3-2-5 (cas to ras being 3)
Burst length of 8

See if that doesnt' help, also don't be afraid of 1.6-1.65v Vcore you should be fine even with air cooling.

[ferdz]

i'll give it a try MS. im actually on watercooling (innovatek), maybe a lil voltage will help me get to 3.2 HOPEFULLY. thanks guys.

@Netto & Gabbax: i just learned from another thread that its the Malay chip thats most likely consistent when it comes to overclocking at 1000mhz using def volt. i should have known better, just sold my Malay chip just to get this crappy Costa Rica.Darn!

[Netto]

Darn times 2, I´m trying to sell mine so I can TRY to find a Malay, Here in Brazil really sucks when it comes to hardware

[twiztdskatr]

costa ricas arent bad, i have one and im running 3.3 priming at stock volts on air.

Yeah, some Costa´s do well, almost all Malay go well :D
