| I was messing around in bios and overclocked my CPU by 15% so I am running 3687MHz instead of 3200mhz. How can I hit the 30%? I tried it but it shuts my comp off as soon as windows starts loading. Is this a temp issue or psu? Anyways what is the max I can oc it. I ran ORTHOS Beta for 19 hours 53 minutes. No crash or nothing. Here is my comp info: --------[ Overclock ]--------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------- CPU Properties: CPU Type DualCore Intel Pentium D 940 CPU Alias Presler CPU Stepping B1 Engineering Sample No CPUID CPU Name Intel(R) Pentium(R) D CPU 3.20GHz CPUID Revision 00000F62h CPU Speed: CPU Clock 3687.3 MHz (original: 3200 MHz, overclock: 15%) CPU Multiplier 16.0x CPU FSB 230.5 MHz (original: 200 MHz, overclock: 15%) Memory Bus 172.8 MHz DRAM:FSB Ratio 6:8 CPU Cache: L1 Trace Cache 12K Instructions per core L1 Data Cache 16 KB per core L2 Cache 2 MB per core (On-Die, ECC, ATC, Full-Speed) Motherboard Properties: Motherboard ID 63-1702-000010-00101111-010907-945P$A0227000_BIOS DATE: 01/09/07 11:00:47 VER: 08.00.10 Motherboard Name Asus P5LD2 (3 PCI, 3 PCI-E x1, 1 PCI-E x16, 4 DDR2 DIMM, Audio, Gigabit LAN) Chipset Properties: Motherboard Chipset Intel Lakeport i945P Memory Timings 5-6-6-2 (CL-RCD-RP-RAS) SPD Memory Modules: DIMM1: Kingston 512 MB DDR2-667 DDR2 SDRAM (5-5-5-15 @ 333 MHz) (4-4-4-12 @ 266 MHz) (3-3-3-9 @ 200 MHz) DIMM2: Kingston 512 MB DDR2-667 DDR2 SDRAM (5-5-5-15 @ 333 MHz) (4-4-4-12 @ 266 MHz) (3-3-3-9 @ 200 MHz) DIMM3: Kingston 512 MB DDR2-667 DDR2 SDRAM (5-5-5-15 @ 333 MHz) (4-4-4-12 @ 266 MHz) (3-3-3-9 @ 200 MHz) DIMM4: Kingston 512 MB DDR2-667 DDR2 SDRAM (5-5-5-15 @ 333 MHz) (4-4-4-12 @ 266 MHz) (3-3-3-9 @ 200 MHz) BIOS Properties: System BIOS Date 01/09/07 Video BIOS Date 12/10/05 DMI BIOS Version 1702 Graphics Processor Properties: Video Adapter Sapphire Radeon X1600 Pro GPU Code Name RV530 (PCI Express x16 1002 / 71C2, Rev 00) GPU Clock 500 MHz (original: 500 MHz) Memory Clock 405 MHz (original: 405 MHz) --------[ EVEREST Ultimate Edition ]------------------------------------------------------------------------------------ Version EVEREST v4.00.982 Beta Benchmark Module 2.1.184.0 Homepage Lavalys - Comprehensive IT Security and Management Report Type Quick Report Computer Generator Operating System Microsoft Windows XP Professional 5.1.2600 (WinXP Retail) Date 2007-12-19 Time 20:09 --------[ CPU ]--------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------- CPU Properties: CPU Type DualCore Intel Pentium D 940, 3700 MHz (16 x 231) CPU Alias Presler CPU Stepping B1 Instruction Set x86, x86-64, MMX, SSE, SSE2, SSE3 Original Clock 3200 MHz Min / Max CPU Multiplier 12x / 16x Engineering Sample No L1 Trace Cache 12K Instructions per core L1 Data Cache 16 KB per core L2 Cache 2 MB per core (On-Die, ECC, ATC, Full-Speed) Multi CPU: Motherboard ID INTEL CPU #0 Intel(R) Pentium(R) D CPU 3.20GHz, 3687 MHz CPU #1 Intel(R) Pentium(R) D CPU 3.20GHz, 3687 MHz CPU Physical Info: Package Type 775 Contact LGA Package Size 3.75 cm x 3.75 cm Transistors 376 million Process Technology 65 nm, CMOS, Cu, Low-K Inter-Layer, High-K Gate, Strained Si Die Size 162 mm2 Core Voltage 1.27 V I/O Voltage 1.27 V Typical Power 130 W @ 3.20 GHz Maximum Power 159 W @ 3.20 GHz CPU Manufacturer: Company Name Intel Corporation Product Information Intel® Processors CPU Utilization: CPU #1 / Core #1 3 % CPU #1 / Core #2 0 % |

| Junior Techie | It can be a number of things that is limiting your overclocking. Each chip behaves differently because of the variation within the manufacturing process, therefore stating specifically what the limit of your particular chip is difficult. If you think your computer can go higher, then try increasing the voltage to the cpu itself. Also loosen the timing of the ram. Your motherboard might also need to be replaced if you've hit a fsb wall. Check to make sure that your BIOS is up to date. Your PSU has a small factor in this depending on the components in your system.
