Hey guys, I need some help overclocking my PC

I just built a new rig with an E2200, P5Q Pro, 4850, X-Fi Fatality, 4GB of Corsair XMS2 800 and 1 harddrive. I'm using an Antec EarthWatts 500 that case with my Sonata III

I successfully got the E2200 from 2.2 to 3.0Ghz on stock volts, but any higher than that and it's not stable for anything more than a few seconds in orthos. I tried raising the CPU voltage to 1.45 but it was the same effect. The Ram is also running at DDR2-902 @ 1.9v.

Any ideas as to what I should bump up to get it stable > 3.0 Ghz?


Thanks,
Jay
 
I tried rasing the NB voltage as well, but no dice.

Also, wouldn't the ram not be a factor since I'm changing only the CPU multi?
 
No, those ram sticks should run at 900 np. Raise the voltage to like 2.1v on them and set them to cas5. O/C success is YMMV.
 
Alright, Thanks I'll try that. What should I try running the NB at? (The P5Q doesn't have "defaults" per-say, it's all manually entering the voltage)
 
Bumped the vCore to 1.425 volts, and now 3.3Ghz is running Orthos;
At least I didn't BSOD in 2 minutes like before, lol
 
Glad things are working. Look around/Google for e2180/e2200 results to get an idea how much [more] headroom you may have.
 
3.3GHz is actually pretty damn good for an E2200 assuming it's on air, so I wouldn't think there's too much headroom left. You definitely do have a good chip though.
