Recently swapped out my 3.2gig (@ 3.8gig) 540j for a 3gig 630, as i've been reading that alot of peaple were hitting 4 gig easy with the 6xx series.
But at the moment i'm having trouble o/c it over 3.85gig. Can post ok upto 4gig, but anything above 3.85 windows won't load... either freezes before the login screen, get a BSOD or BIOS CHECKSUM error.
(Rig details in my profile) Current bios settings are:
FSB= 256 (cpu = 3.84, with memory on a 3/4 divider = 664mhz)
CPU V = 1.46
DDR2 V = 1.9
N/B V = 1.6
PCIE =100
PCI= 33
Ran 2 instances of Prime 95 overnight successfully, cpu temp idles at 37-39c,tops out at 58c.
I tried increasing cpu v to 1.51, DDR2 V to 1.95, N/B V to 1.65, but it made no difference, after 3.85gig windows won't load.
To check it wasn't memory holding me back I changed the divider to 1:1. At 257 fsb memory = 504mhz - cpu = 3.85, all ok. At 258+ fsb, windows won't load.
Is there anything else i can try, or have i just reached the max speed of the cpu?
