P5Q does not need much...I think the other models need a bit more voltage than the P5Q-E and P5Q-Pro...but still very little voltage.Quote:

i got 2x2 gskill pi ddr 800 they probobly wont do much overclock right?
I think those modules are supposed to be quite good actually
but since thereonly ddr 6400 they probobly wont OC very well or am i wrong?
I dont know whats wrong here... i cant even get it to go 445, what am i doing wrong? i need some help here, apreciate it.

Thanks
Falling down after 8 seconds is a sign of a sever instability , try to stabilize 445X8 first , if unstable then try to get 430X9 stable then keep moving up , that is how things work . Test one variable at a time , but i don't think that it is Temperature or Vcroe relatedQuote:

I have the voltages in bios in auto the only one that i boosted is the vcore to 1.36v but thats not the problem is it? or do i have to boost some of the others? wanted some help with anyone that has an identical system.. at least a p5q deluxe and a e8400 e0
When I got an error before 10 seconds it was because my memory was unstable, but your memory at 445MHz CL5 shouldn't be causing the instability...perhaps you have a bad stick of memory, in which case you should run memtest just to be sure. :yepp:
Also, try not to use auto voltage when overclocking; BIOS doesn't have a clue what the optimum voltage is for any particular component so it just gives a blanket amount, and that's not going to help things. What voltage options does your BIOS give, and can you post your current settings? :up:
Im happy to say i got this stable at 445fsb... here is a pic..

What do you think?
Good start. Now that you have it stable try to see if you can lower the vcore but keep everthing else the same. Some E0 chips can run the same O.C. with less cpu voltage. 1.325v/1.300v/1.275v/1.250vQuote:

There would be no gain in changing vcore now because 4.2GHz is the target. keep increasing the FSB and trying to get it stable. You have 445 stable, so try 456 next (for 4.1GHz) without changing any other frequencies. If I were you I'd increase FSB termination voltage, NB voltage and it won't hurt to raise vdimm to 2.0v, and you should stabilize the higher FSB. Once stable then you can start tweaking to get voltages down.
I always find that rationing voltages on the way "up" significantly adds to the time taken to get a stable OC; I usually go right up with a fair bit of voltage, nothing extreme, and work my way down. :yepp:
I had to restart my computer for another thing, so i did another run with the same settings as i posted but i got this when i woke up..

so basicly your saying i should lower the voltages???
Had a little time to try and get some more out of this chip. Been folding for over a week at 4.3, running a few quick tests at 4.4. Pay no attention to the pi times, no optimizations and lots of other stuff running. Have had occt running for over 1/2 hour. So far so good :up:
Temps are low from this being in my garage and it's about 55F ambient right now :D
My well used E8400 C0 needs very close to 1.40 volts to be stable at 4 GHz but most E0 chips can run 4 GHz with less voltage.
It might be your memory holding you back. I'd drop the multiplier down to 8 and test again and make sure that your memory can run this speed reliably at that memory voltage. I tend to like 2.00 to 2.10 volts for DDR2 but every stick is different.
What bios should i use first of all?
well heres where im at now.http://i40.tinypic.com/r26fkm.jpghttp://i41.tinypic.com/2bdzdv.jpg
I did what you asked but before that i changed my bios from the 1611m to the Asus 1702 and put all the settings i had before and this is what i gotQuote:

it passed intelburntest dunno if thats stable or not but just to make sure im runing Orthos with these settings...
Passed occt at the settings above, but failed linpack. Upped vcore and vtt a bit, seems good now. No more time for today. I will let it crunch/fold at this for a few days.

Passed ibt over 8 min + memtest. Good enough for me.
Attachment 91064
hey guys, i ran linpack as you can see and passed so i left Orthos running during the nights and got this..
http://img239.imageshack.us/img239/739/teste7yu1.jpg
what do you guys think?
Hmm passes IBT but fails Orthos blend...that's gotta be a first :D I dunno man, temps? Where is Core Temp/Real Temp if you're running almost 10 hours of Orthos? :eek:
it ran for like 9hours as you can see and i still have realtemp on went up to a max of 56º seems pretty good i think...
