ok. ive got my oc stable for a few mins, then it dies. i believe it may be down to fsb volts
http://uk.pc.ign.com/articles/747/747606p2.html
should i set my volts to what it says there ^^ only i cant find fsb volts only vht, and cpu VTT. i also found the northbridge. should i OC this? is this the FSB volts? It doesnt say in the nvidia OC guide book too so ill probs leave it but it does say to OC the fsb to 1.5v so if you could help me with that i will be grateful :)
 
just found my 1.2vht is @ 1.5v, which its not meant to be, probe keeps flashing and blaring :( HELP!

Is it stable when you do? overclocking is a pretty simple process. also, its kind of confusing, raising your core voltage or whatever really isn't 'overclocking'.

1-increase voltage
2-test
3-increase fsb
4-test
and if it fails, you simply go back to 1. keep giving it more voltage until your temps are maxxed.
 
what? increasing cpu volts doesnt make a difference or doesnt appear too, so i want to know what the fsb voltage is. the above is all i can guess it to be!
 
if your vcore isn't making a difference then i'd bet you're nearing your limit. like I said, have you even tried adjusting the fsb (chipset) voltage?
 
i doubt ive reached my limit, im @ 1.4v and 3.4ghz, considering i got to 3.2ghz on stock volts....
when u say fsb volts, is that northbridge or what would it be labeled as on my striker?
theres no fsb volts as far as i can see so it must be called something else?
 
3.4Ghz probably is your limit. These CPUs don't scale well with voltage. Usually, a voltage increase will only get you slightly past what you would have with stock voltage. 3.4Ghz is within most normal overclocks, anyway.

Either that, or your chipset has reached its FSB limit. To try to get past this, increase the chipset (northbridge) voltage by .05 or .1V.
 
thats what i believe it to be. i downloaded the nvidia manual and it gives you an optimum voltage for the mobo etc. however it says "fsb voltage" is this the same as northbridge voltage?
 
ok, little update :) i put the nvidia SPP voltages to 1.5v (as it said in manual) then it said to OC the fsb to 1.5v as well. what is it labeled as in a bios? cpu vtt? 1.2vt?
 
omg. this is confusing. is the nvidia SPP (looks after cpu memory and a gfx card) the northbridge? if so, i need this at 1.5v according to the manual.
which of these is fsb?:
1.2v HT voltage
or
CPU VTT voltage?
there the only 2 i have that i dont know.

thanks again :D
 
Hmm, this is confusing.

Look at the last large paragraph in this.

During testing, Asus sent us several BIOS revisions for the Striker Extreme. The final version we used for testing (0505) gave us some fairly scorching maximum voltages, including as much as 1.9V for the CPU and 3.245V for the memory, which, for DDR2, is as incendiary as any free kick from David Beckham. With the CPU multiplier lowered to 6x, we managed to push the Striker's FSB up to 500MHz (2,000MHz effective). This is the highest we've seen from any Core 2 Duo board, though not by much, as Asus' own P5B Deluxe can hit 480MHz. Achieving this required a fair amount of voltage though. We set the Northbridge and Hyper Transport to 1.7V, (from 1.5V and 1.2V respectively), the Southbridge to 1.6V (from 1.5V) and the CPU VTT to 1.5V. Our test CPU, a 2.66GHz Core 2 Duo E6600 maxes out at 3.6GHz, and with its multiplier at default, the Striker Extreme took it to its limit with a 360MHz FSB.

I don't know if this is of any help. In fact, it's probably going to confuse the matter even more.
 
wicked. similar volts to me now. everythings @ 1.5v, apart from cpu (still not fully stable but can run games fine @ 1.375v and orthos for a while @ 1.45v....
