So, im a newb to OCing, and i was trying out a few things with my 3800+ x2, because i wanted to get it up to 2.4ghz for daily use.
I upped it to 2.1ghz without many issues, but anything past that, and the system becomes unstable.
should i up my memory voltage higher than the 2.7v that ive got it at now?
and what timings would you guys recommend?
also, i tried running a 5:4 divider, but the board wouldnt post, so im giving up for the night, and ill work on it tomorrow.
but, please point me in the right direction, i really want to figure all of this out, and learn how to properly overclock my rig.
Thanks :)
btw, specs are in my sig. ive got the latest Bigtoe modded BIOS.
I think i also set the vcore to 1.35v in the bios and added the VID +4% setting, so its showing it as 1.45v in the system.
should i lower that to 1.4v?
