I got the stock HSF and 45 isnt bad...for that (small) overclock??...its not really small..its 400Mhz. I ran the burnin test for a day.

small as in i can push my setup way farther and it still be stable, but i perfer my memory running at 1:1 ratio with my processor bus. at one point i was testing it at a (im pretty sure a 3:2 divider) and had it around 2.5/2.6ghz stablely. (3dmark loop 6 hours). so that why i said small.

hey maybe u guyz can help me with my question too...(lennon ) i have a p4 1.9Ghz WILLY i oced it to like a 2.2ghz it was stable...but wenever i played games i used to giv me BUMPS in the middle of the game....more annyoying then lagging! and sumtimes the bump use to FREEZE the whole computer...it was not overheating! the temps were from 32-50C....cud it possibly be the vdimm or sumthin to do with voltage? and it is stable at those speeds....

it may have just not come to your attention, bigdawg, that overclocking is 'causing errors to some of your data until now because Folding@Home is the first program you've used which absolutely requires strict mathematical precision. a lot of other programs can keep going just fine, ignoring an OC-related error here & there... but a scientific program will just not be forgiving of CPU errors at all.

stability issues don't just boil down to "OC too much and it crashes," even though that's part of it. the other part is "OC too much and your programs don't all work correctly, even though some of 'em (or even most of 'em) seem okay."

i'm with clocker on this one. if you really want to participate in Folding@Home and you also want to OC, drop back down to default and run the Folding program again while increasing the clock little-by-little until you find out what your system's limit is for 100% accurate CPU operation.

cud it be the same problem with mine..but i did a small overclock....not a big one like big dawgz....

[Duffman]

maybe its not the overclock i know the stock drivers on my cable modem make my comp restart unless i update them, do you get that option to send an error report on xp, that usually works if you get it

[_John_Lennon_]

its overclocking.

Try lowering the Multi to 10.5, and the FSB to 197 if you are still having problems Bigdawgg.

[bigdawgfoxx]

Cant change multi oh well....

Max Payne 2 used to always crash after like 3 mins of gameplay...thought it was a bad file i had downloaded...since giving it extra juice it works great so im thinking that might have been the problem. Thanks lennon

On the VDIMM I can only go like 2.6, 2.7, 2.8, 2.9. Should I put it on 2.7 or 2.8? 2.7 seems to be pretty good for now...

Oh, and like on my video card...should I remove the white sticker with the barcode on it? or does it matter?

Set it to 2.8, if you have heat spreaders on it.

Also, I wouldnt remove the barcode, incase you have to send it back in someday.

Btw, which setting do you think worked with the Uped Voltage, the Vcore or VDimm? I have been having similar problems with failing the WU's.
