2x1GB Patriot RAM 5-5-5-15 stock settings @ 800MHz
Liberty 700W modular PSU

Any further info you need LMK

Thanks in advance guys

I don't know if you can tell but this my first approach to a OC
 
Very very nice, whatever you did you did it right ( and I bet it was no accident). All kinds of posts of people having fits with that board and you nailed it. :cool: If you want to play, I would be sure and jot down (or save a bios profile if that board supports it) your current bios settings. Better yet cut an paste out of the pdf manual the bios screens and edit them to show what your settings are and post that.

you wont notice much of a performance incease pushing much beyond that, but it would be fun to try, probally going to have to loosen up ram timings a bit and I dont like Vcore over 1.4 on air but thats just me. But you do have to give it at least 1 more MHz to force it to read over 3.4GHz all the time :p

Now try backing off on vcore in as small increments as possible and run TAT or othros for load and see where you can get it so it is say 4 hours stable at that OC but with lower Vcore and you are done.

damn I wish I had a 6400.
 
Please do the overclocking in the BIOS, software like those I can never trust.
 
Pretty Impressive

I've got the same board only with a 6600, and haven't been able to get quite that high a FSB.

If you don't mind will post what voltages you set in the bios and what features you disabled in the bios as well. I'm really curious about the FSB Termination Voltage, MCH Voltage, and ICH Voltage.
 
All the boards that are out there im debating on upgrading to the P5B Deluxe just because of the abilities of overclocking. I cant get above the 2.8 ghz mark with my regular P5BE.

Congrats on the nice overclock man,
 
Thanks for all the complements.... It took loong couple nights and the girlfriend hating me for being GLUED to the screen for hours but hey it was worth it and very very very happy. Not a bad computer I got for $800. Orthos was stable for over 8 hours. I don't game but thinking about getting into it. the thing is my screen is a 27" LCD res is 1280x 768 :( What do you guys think about gaming at that res if possible.

Oh and i never adjust my clocks within windows its always in the BIOS.

I will get you the voltages in a day or two.

Anyone want to help me with how to OC the 7900GT? I have never OCed a video card.

Also what games can I get to game at?

LOL, if you are starting to game, the gf is gonna hate you more! Mine gets upset that i don't want 100% of my off time to be spent with her!

If you want to oc the vid card i'd say start with enabling coolbits through the registry, you can try to let it find optimal, from there run 3dmark06 and see if there are any artifacts (the second test usually shows it the most for me), if there are alot then downclock a few mhz till its not noticible, if there was non after the find optimal then bump it up a bit more till you see some and then back off a bit. Its all abit trial and error.

I'd also say after you find the sweet spot of the card, to save yourself the hassle in the future to just find nibitor and the bios for the 7900 and edit it with those clocks and bios flash the card with the moded bios, this way you can always have the same clocks even if you reinstall/install vc drivers and loose coolbits or worrying about a aftermarket proggy to run at start up and see if its running the correct clocks + using resources ;)

My 7800GT's are now flashed at 480/1200 and i went from 6928 stock to 7300, i did score a 7401 with 486/1200 but there was too many artifacts to my taste ( i like none)
 
OK did optimal and it clocked at 575/866

Ran the tests and was good should I climb more or keep it where it is?

Thanks for all the info
