lower your HTT multiplier to 4x; increase your ram voltage.

secondly, if you didn't already, lower your HTT multiplier to 4x

if that new ram stick runs 3 3 3 8 at 200MHz, it certainly wont run 2.5 3 3 7 at 208MHz... Try pulling that stick out and see if any of your other system changes affected your OC. If not, then it's definitely the new ram stick.

true, that's why I kept it.

my CPU voltage jumps 0.25V when 100% loaded. My mobo is MSI k8n neo2.

Those are good articles. In my humble opinion, however, the first one doesn't really show a substantial quality difference between the different PSUs, except then for a couple of off-the-wall brands that I'd never heard of before. The tests were somewhat limited though, especially since a lot of...

thanks for the links, let me review them. Here's my system: MSI K8N Neo2 Platinum AMD 3500 newcastle XP90+panaflo 2x512MB Corsair 3200XL eVGA 6800 Ultra Antec TruePower 2.0 480W Thermaltake Tsunami Dream case

...unless you have a Dell machine which has next to nothing in the bios...

on that note, everyone always says you need a fancy power supply - with super stable 40A 12V lines bla bla bla :p - to improve overclocking but I actually haven't seen a single review or user experience that quantitatively compares overclocking results when using different power supplies in the...

"Throw away"? I think not. Yes I replaced it with a fancy Antec but I have yet to experience why my $99 for the Antec wasn't a total waste of money. I bought it based on their reputation and based on forum discussions that stated that it would improve system stability when overclocking. After...

That was my guess sofar. My 6800 ultra *theoretically* needs 2 independent 12V power connections with nothing else on it. At least that is what all those manufacturers state (probably bogus). That's a nice statement but how many PSUs do you know that actually *have* 3 independent 12V lines...

I have for you a 400W Thermaltake powersupply (peak 480W) that came installed in my Thermaltake Tsunami Dream case of my gaming rig. It works just fine - I used it for about 6 months but I replaced it with a nice Antec ;) 480W supply because I wanted to get into overclocking. I'll sell it to...

My Antec 480W truepower 2.0 ( :) ) has separate "fan-only" power connectors for case fans. The manual says the voltage on those connectors are "load controlled" and regulate the case fans depending on system load. I tried them for my case fans but the result was pretty useless. It basically...

I agree the power consumption is close to 155W at his proposed OC - that's already accounted for in my basic physics equation. The 63C thermal limit of the FX55 does make it more challenging than lower end athlons but if his room is truly 65F as he specifically stated (what are your system's...
