M3A overclocking

[justapost]

It's still freaking out. Removed all Crucial ram, installed one stick of XMS, Bios to defaults, then minor tweaks for manual mem clock 800, no cool'nQuiet.

Did a WinXP restore point from a few weeks ago. Various corruptions were occurring, possibly due to the numerous crashes and reboots. During one attempt to do a winxp repair install, got a BSOD apparently due to MEMORY_MANAGEMENT.

POST failed one time and I got a broken english message about possible overkclocking problem (yes, that's right, overKclocking).

I'm thinking that's about all I can stand. This motherboard is outta here!!

Do you have an X2 you can try in that mobo?

This is my first post on these forums and use these forums a lot to get information from. But, I feel its time I add something.

I can NOT get my AMD 5000 Black Edition to boot at 3.2. Its causes a BSOD 5 seconds into the Windows loading screen. I can however ever get it to boot at 3.1(200x15.5) but will not last but a min before BSOD. My current settings are... 3.GHz(200x15) @1.4v. I have done a process of elimination but take parts are and replacing them, checking RAM slots changing voltages and such. I have gone up to 1.6v in the core but have the same exact effect.

MSI 8800GT
Thermaltake 600 Purepower RX
Soundblaster XFi Extreme Gamer
Generic PCI Capture Card
Corsair 2x2GB DDR800 4-4-4-14 T1(100% Good)



justapost I noticed that you have a very similar setup as me and was wondering how you were able to do it? Is it something i'm missing? I've never been so stumped before...

Thanks for any help guys!

Hmm I tried it with a lower cpu multi.

3105MHz
ref HT: 270
cpu mulit: 11,5
cpuv: 1,35V
ht multi: 3 (4 might also work)
mem: @460 5-5-5-18 (still some room for optimization) 2,07V
SB: 1,23V

3220MHz
ref HT: 280
cpu mulit: 11,5
cpuv: 1,4375V
ht multi: 3 (4 might also work)
mem: @460 5-5-5-18 (still some room for optimization) 2,12V
SB: 1,27V
