Issues with OC 4200+

Comment:
I just recently upgraded my 3000+ to a 4200+ socket 939 and was running the 3000+ with an OC'ed FSB at 250, effectively making the CPU from 1.8 to roughtly 2.25 GHz guestimate. I have 2GIgs of PC3500 and to get it run stable with it i had to up the Dram Voltage by .02 volts. Now that i installed the 4200+ i can't get even an extra 15 Mhz on the FSB with it out it locking up and not booting past the POST. Is it just that this chip is not a good OCing candidate? or is there something i'm not getting.

Can't help without knowing your system specs....especially the board. What have you attempted so far?

i've down the Hypertransport bus to 3X, i've increased Dram voltage slightly, Increased CPU VCORE slightly, i've set my Ram timings higher. It was giving me the same issue with my old processor, increasing the Dram voltage fixed it, but no such luck with the new one... i can't get it to clock past 225 FSB. I'm Running a DFI nF4 board, with 2gig corsair(can't remember the timings exactly) 4200+ Dual core socket939

Summary: So here's my issue. I just built this computer back in December. The PSU in the computer is the one from my older one. It is still a good PSU but I had a good feeling that it would be the bottle-neck ...
Summary: Thanks, i'll give it a shot today. I just added another 256 ps 3200, now there's 512.My board is a DFI NFII ULTRA-AL. It's made for oc'ing. There's a Genie advanced set up in bios with oc'ing settings...
Summary: Thanks for responding. Yeah, I've tried making the memFrequency higher by incriments, but once I go over around 150Mhz it goes crazy and stops POSTing. Though I tried pumping up the freque...
