I seem to have hit some sort of a wall on my OC, and I can't pinpoint the reason. There are a few questions I have about my config which may lead me to the cause of the problem. My current oc is 220FSB, 1:1.
1. Are these voltages normal? First pic is idle, second is under prime max FPU test. Seem to drop a lot under load, is that reasonable? PSU seems to have enough juice for that rig.
2. My mobo has a weird way of setting up cpu:mem ratios. I'm able to choose from values like 400/333/266 Mhz, etc. I'm currently running at 1:1 due to the fact that I'm not sure what ratios those values are corresponding to. Also, when I try to set up a different timing, CPUZ doesn't show the timing in the memory tab unless it's 1:1. Can anyone tell me what those values mean?
3. Even on 1:1, I'm able to push my mem. a bit further (stable with MemTest). However, when I try to boot into windows, it either won't even post or is being very unstable. Why is that? The ram is OCZ DDR400 rated 2.5-3-3-7, however it can run at stock with 2-3-3-7. Highest Memtest stable OC seems to be in the 2.5-3-3-7 area though. My guess is voltages but mobo won't allow voltage adjustments.
My idle temps are around 42C, and under prime cpu heat test they don't go higher than 55C. I'm currently lacking my case cooling setup but that's temporary. Even without it the temps don't look too high. The rest of my rig is in sig.
