I've hit a brick wall.
This is as high as I can get it. If I change the FSB to 334 or more, the machine reboots.i've tried raising the vcore, vdimm, and vchip, but it still continues to crash.
It is just because it's going over 3ghz or something?
Spec:
e4300
asus p5b motherboard
Crucial Ballistix 2GB (2x1GB) DDR2 PC2-5300C3 667MHz
stock cooler (going on water soon)
vcore set to 1.425v in BIOS (I get quite a bit of vdroop)
vdimm 1.9v
vchip 1.45v (max I can set in BIOS)
I forgot to mention, I've got a 40mm fan on the northbridge, and a zalman passive northbridge cooler on the soutchbridge to try and keep everything cool. My SB was getting really roasty before the zalman!
Anyway, I'm gonna try dropping the multi to 6x now and see how much FSB I can get. Orthos blend seems to be doing ok at 334Mhz x 6 right now....
EDIT: Just noticed my LAN port has stopped working now I've start overclocking.... anyone else getting this?
