I am so very very frustrated right now. Ok here goes the 1,928,439th thread on overclocking these chips.

I have a 3000+ winchester with A8V board and PDP PC3200 2-2-2-5 RAM, and 400W antec PS.

First off, I set the memory to 3-4-4-10 DDR400(2:1in BIOS) 2.8V, and HTT at 800mhz(4x), with CPU at 200x9 1.6V. Boots memtest fine.

Change CPU to 228x9...fine
Change CPU to 229x9...memtest doesn't boot right.
Change CPU to 270x8...fine

What's up with that? The very first time I oc'ed, I followed someones suggestion on here to lower the RAM down to DDR200, then raise FSB up as high as possible. Booted into windows fine at 270x9, now if I try to enable DDR200 in my BIOS, memtest won't boot. Any explanation for that? have tried BIOS 1006, 1007, 1008, 1009.4 and the dividers (1:1, 3:2, 4:3, 5:3, only 2:1 lets me boot memtest) dont work on any of em.

Help make my day better... :(
 
hmm, it seems I've narrowed it down to the RAM clock cycle settings or the RAM divider settings on the MB.

Right now I'm running memtest perfectly at 260x9 @ 1.6v and a 4:3 DDR266 divider on the RAM at automatic settings, which I assume is 2-2-2-5.

Although I did just ruin my windows xp install again! :(

Any ideas duders? :cool:
 
Thats sucky. :p Im running the s754 3000 at 220 x 10. However, im using a dfi motherboard, and can do 235ish x 10 before running into unstable problems (with out ever touching voltage settings). What memory are you using? Im using dual channel matched corsair 1 gig (2x 512) pc3200, works like a bute. Not sure what to suggest, I dont have yor setup.

how does an oc ruin the data on hd, like win xp?

If you don't have PCI lock, IDE HDs can flip out of you run at too high of an fsb.
I've found one way to catch it is with 3DMark2001... it checksums everything it reads, and will give you an error if reads something from the HD that doesn't add up.
 
so for people with an agp/pci lock, like me, there's no danger of ruining hd (please say that i'm right)?
