clockgen... can't get a 3.0ghz screenie

lancec2c30 · 10-13-2007, 12:35 PM

Well, I know I probably can't go through windows startup at 3.0ghz. So I installed clockgen. It works fine, but no matter how hard I try I can't get it to stay at 3.0ghz. It just restarts to a BSOD every time.

Here is what my last settings were with a X2 3800, Abit KN8 SLI socket 939.

Boot speed 2.8ghz

Core voltage: 1.51v

Ram speed DDR133

HT link: 230

What else can I do to get this thing stable enough to just get a screenshot?

Whats your temps? and do you have quality ram or cheap value ram. When i tried to OC my opty I ran into problems cause I bought cheap ram.

lancec2c30 · 10-13-2007, 08:12 PM

It is Geil ddr400. 2 512mb sticks, I really don't know what it classifys under. When I built this computer 2 years ago I didn't know much of anything.

zmatt · 10-13-2007, 08:16 PM

well there could be performance ram and value ram. that can make a big difference. what about your temps?

lancec2c30 · 10-13-2007, 08:44 PM

AbitQ read 29c idle. I was in the garage and ambient was like 58 deg. F

2.8 is pretty high oc already on a toledo....
what type of cooling solution u got?

bmxfreakrider · 10-13-2007, 10:00 PM

i had this probelm

what you do is have cpu z open before u use clockgen, and as soon as you hit 3.0ghz, save as a txt dump, then html. html dump is alright, but if you can get that little validation file saved to your desktop, then that will work too, because if you submit it, it will generate a screenie of the prog

lancec2c30 · 10-13-2007, 10:54 PM

I had cpu-z already open. and also paint, so I could just print screen the copy to paint.

I have a Zalman CNPS9500 with as5.

you know that there is no point in hitting that if it isn't stable right?

That's funny, because as soon as I saw this thread had new replies, that's what I planned to ask.
