Review on my current OC Please.

Cypher · Post by **Cypher** » Fri Mar 21, 2003 5:11 pm

I'm new to OC'ing but I've done alot of research and this is my current setup:
FSB@208
Multi@11
Vcore@1.750V
Mem@Aggresive/100%/2.7V
AGP@66MhZ/1.6V
The TI 4600 is OC'd @ 310/685. (When I go higher it fails.)
Current temps are:CPU 36/96 MB 31/87. CPU goes to 105F @ full load.
I'm passing 3DMark03 @ 1200 and I have'nt had any problems in games at all. I just need a few more experienced oppinions on this setup to make sure I'm going in the right direction. Thanx.

Why won't the pny overclock well? My gainward ti4200 hits 320mhz core and stay stable with good cooling

A Barton running 2280@208...Ya that is a real nice

. Your performance is roughly equal to a XP3300~3400.

Now all you need is a Ati 9800 pro and some water cooling.

Well it was good while it lasted. I went back to 205. I started getting BSOD's and now it seems it won't talk during the post.

No the PNY does'nt OC worth a $h!t

is it 8x agp? how much ram? 3dmark01?

Cypher · Post by **Cypher** » Fri Mar 21, 2003 7:39 pm

It's 4x, 128DDR, I'll have to run 01.

my PNY is a hell of a overclocker!!!! Check my Sig for details. I love it even though it is not the best I still love it!!

If I set my mem to 300 it locks. If I go to 320 on the core it does the same. I even tried upping the volts.

up your vore to 1.80 then fsb to 210 give it a try i know u can do it

Cypher · Post by **Cypher** » Fri Mar 21, 2003 9:10 pm

I did try that and it did'nt work. I need better cooling for my chipset. I have a pctoys vga cooler on the NB and nnothing on the SB yet I'm either gonna get a tt crystal orb or an iceberg.

My vcore is @ 1.80 but I have it set to 1.750.

Can you raise the AGP voltage on that board?

what mem timings are you running

do you have bank interleaving turned on

be extremelly careful how much volyage you put on that chip without proper cooling.

not everycard will hit the same OC, plus case temps can add a problom 205fsb is nice.

my ti4600 goes as high as 335 and 760mhz ram

Cypher · Post by **Cypher** » Sat Mar 22, 2003 3:05 pm

As far as case cooling I have 80mm fans 1 in drive cage, 1 at the bottom front 1 over the agp (all intake.) Two in the rear for exhaust. These cases are tight. Here's my mem settings:
Mem time=Aggresive.
Active precharge delay=8.
ras to cas delay=4.
ras pre charge delay=4.
cas latency=3T.
ddr ref volts=2.7 (2.8 won't post.)
I did up the agp volts from 1.5 to 1.6.

You can get more performance out of your system by running more aggressive memory timings. I am not too sure what the Crucial 3200 will run at so I suggest starting at
cas latency=2T
Active precharge delay=6
ras to cas delay=3
ras pre charge delay=3

Run stability tests, if it is stable you will see a nice 3dmark improvement.

Cypher · Post by **Cypher** » Sun Mar 23, 2003 3:31 pm

I tried those settings and it won't pass post. I'll have to search on this one.

Cypher · Post by **Cypher** » Sun Mar 23, 2003 10:08 pm

As for my Ti, I now have it at 325/730.

Once I upped the agp volts to 1.6 it's fine. I've been running 3Dmark03,RTCW,BF1942 & UT2k3 all holding stable with great temps.

Cypher · Post by **Cypher** » Mon Mar 24, 2003 8:07 am

I've been running F@H since last night and my temps are 36/96, 27/80 at 100%. Thats incredible.
