X2 block

[Irishllama]

Hello all!

I cant seem to get my 3800 x2 to go past 2.2, It wont load into windows when I try to raise the FSB more than 220.

Which mobo? Increase core voltage, increase NB voltage, are you on the DDR2-800 divider - make sure you're on the DDR2-400 divider so you're not overclocking your RAM, etc. etc.

maybe its ur board?

we need more info

 

[Irishllama]

It's an A8n sli prem.

Put the DDR166 divider on... AKA the DDR333 divider.

 

[Irishllama]

I did, It still wont go above 2.2ghz, I even tried lowering the HT multi, I tried FSB 250, CPU multi 10x, and HT link 4x.

Hah =], Let's not even go there .

Back on Topic: I know it's not the air flow, It could be my stock HSF, but my air flow inside is amazing. I just got an Antec 900, and added a side panel fan, all are on high.

My core temp is 27c at the momment.

 

[bradyapba]

2 sticks or 4 sticks? how many watts on the power supply?

 

[Irishllama]

2 sticks.

The Antec is 550.
