Specs:
Msi Nforce4 Ultra
AMD64 3500+ (90 nm)
2X512 corsair low latency ram (twin pack for dual channel)
stock heatsink (it keeps it around 30 idle)

So, my cpu is a stock 2.2 ghz, 11x 200hz.
When I overclock anything above an additional 100 hz, system crashes. (2.3 ghz).

Id like to see this cpu hit 2.5+, but the MSI bios is just really confusing. That and Im not too sure the sensors are reading the temp right (stock I see 29C idle load 38C). What is causing my system to lock, the cpu overheating... or a memory issue? I wish I wasn't so new at this. I dont trust the msi "dynamic OC" because it upps the voltage more then it should for small.. small gains.
 
I've got that board and I have my 3000+ (stock 1.8 GHz) running at 250x9. It took a while to realize that in order to change the cpu core voltage, you have to (HAVE TO) use the MSI 'features'. Keep 'cool and quiet' off, its evil. Change the CPU Voltage VID, AND the second setting about percentage over the VID. If you leave it at stock 'Startup', then it won't matter what you set the VID to, it won't change the voltage. Thats confusing, but if you look at the bios it should make more sence. Realize that you have two settings to worry about for the V core.
 
scott: reading :)

pevo: those sobs... 2 freaking settings? Thanks for the heads up. I guess I just need to fiddle with bios ALOT more.
