Hey, I managed to get my first OC off today.. results are 290Mhz at 9x and at 1.45V stock HSF. For some reason though it won't go after 300, it finishes loading XP but right before XP launches my computer restarts. My memory timings are 3-3-3-6@1.8V. My CPU is only at 38C during load.
What could possibly be hindering my results, the memory or CPU?
 
What's your HT link set to? Do you have a divider and if so, what is it set to?
 
Divider is 1:1 because I hear divders don't work well with AMD's. My HT was at 1160, mult of 4

set the HT to 3x and see if that helps you.
 
And throw a divider on your ram. I bet once you set your HT link to 3x it'll give it more stability.


Good Luck!
 
Tried setting to 3x, still no boot =/
By the way, do I want more FSB or more Ghz? For example, would I get better performance with 220x10=2.2ghz or with 200x12=2.4ghz (fictional numbers, just an example)
 
Gigahertz over bus speed ftw. :D You should put that ram on a divider for sure. I can prime at 3ghz with my ram comfortable at it's stock speed with a divider. (just a little heat issue )

:p
 
Definitely Ghz with the AMD64 platform.

You could be running your ram at DDR300 speeds before you'd notice a difference ;).
