So I bought a new motherboard: Abit aw9d-max and new ram 2gb A-data Vitesta extreme edition 800+, but I have problems to overclock my new pc. I was even able to reach 376fsbx 8 but the pc was very unstable and crashed almost instantly. With 350fsb I fail the orthos test after few seconds. I am able to run decently my pc at 330. I have a conroe 6400. There are so many parameters and I am so novice with overclock, I do not want to damage my components. Please help me to configure better my pc.
Thanks
 
Make sure the DDR2-533 or the 1:1 divider is on, to limit the speed of your RAM. This should generally be called "Dram" frequency in the BIOS...

You might want to try booting up at 401FSB mhz rather than anything under 401FSB.

There's a few places with recent conroe motherboards that don't work well... 350-400FSB, 500FSB+ etc.
 
Thanks Arcygenical for your replay. I tried to boot with the divider at 1:1 but at 401 it doesn't boot. I had to clear the cmos and remove battery to make my pc work again. Have I to change other settings too like cpu voltage ram voltage? Thanks
 
please provide your cpu , ram voltages and as much as possible for other settings. btw, try to boot it up with 401 x multiplier 7.
 
Now I am able to boot safely at 380x8 with cpu at 1.450, ram at 2.1 v. 533 1:1, mch & PCIe at 1.6. I do not know if I can go up or not safely or I have to change something.
 
I am not able to overpass the 400 limit no matter what I try, I tried even to boost the ram to 2.3v, to change the multiplier ,without success. Any advice, please ? Thank you
