Hello to all, I have a couple of relevant questions, if I may ask... My equipment is: NFORCE3-A mobo w/a Sempron 3100 (right now I have it jackd to 237 and running stable and screamin)= 2.12g 1 gig ddr 400 ram...it boots up @ (400, 2t) 2- 36.7 WD raptors (no raid) 1- SCSI 36.7 Seagate Cheetah ST336706lw (not installed yet). 1- SCSI 36.4 Quantum Atlas 10k (not installed yet). 1- IDE WDC WD80.0 1- HDS72808 USB External Drive DVD Memorex 16x Sony CRX195 E1 CD-r E-IDE CDROM56X L Creative SB Audigy 2 ZS WDM Thernaltake Purepower 480AD Zalman 3300, somthin', I think...
My questions are: 1)Should I scrap the CD Roms and go SCSI with the two 10k's? Will it make a DRAMATIC difference? It would HAVE to be dramatic to JUSTIFY it. In your opinion, would there be a great significance? How much would it free up the bus...and in what situations? 2) This computer rocks, but I've never OC'd it cept for the basic cpu setting in peripherals...how much more can I get out of this? how do you set the max memclck; 1t/2t memtming; cas$ latency, etc??
CPU freq = 250MHz CPU multi = 9x HTT multi = 3x RAM freq = 166MHz (DDR333) AGP = 67MHz PCI = 33MHz Spread Spectrum = disabled Cool'n Quiet = disabled RAM voltage = add 0.10v to default voltage CPU voltage = increase as necessary to stabilize
This will put the CPU at 2.25GHz with RAM at 208MHz. HTT bus at 750MHz.
your RAM could be the only drawback id say (and hear me out) set multi to 9x, increase cpu volts by 0.5 and set memclock to 2/1 or 100mhz (200mhzDDR), increase chipset voltage to 1.75v and raise cpuFSB to THE MAX YOU CAN HANDLE :) hehehe
Patience is the key young padawan overclock to the EXTREME!
