Hello
i have had 3.2ghz skt 478 Oc @ 3.6ghz for a good 6 months now and was fine but as also everyone i wanted more i tried more but got BS so tried many things which included new PSU and Heatsink which god dam it worked so got to 3.8ghz fine ran SiSoft Sandra 2007 burn in on CPU only for 24hours and was stable so tried to push more to 4ghz which failed then backed down to 3.92ghz BOOTED UP FINE RAN BURN IN TOOL 5 TIMES THEN BS?? any help would be greatfull thanks? Also iv been looking and there are a lot of Volt Mods for my Asus p4p800 se is this the answer
Settings were as followed
3.8ghz:
CPU FREQ = 240
DRAM = 400
AGP/PCI = 66/33
CPU CORE = 1.5750V
AGP VDDQV = 1.7V
P/MODE = STANDARD

3.9/4ghz:
CPU FREQ = 245/250
DRAM = 320
AGP/PCI = 66/33
CPU CORE = 1.6V
DDR = AUTO
AGP VDDQV = 1.8V
P / MODE = STANDARD

Pentium4 3.20ghz
1Gb Corsair XMS
2 x 250gb Sata
PNY 7600GSAGP @450/1000

Using punctuation would make your post much easier to read, and would likely get you a faster response.

Why are you raising the AGP voltage? And what's the point of overclocking the CPU if you have to underclock the RAM?

it aint the AGP voltage. I have been told before it is the Chipset Volatge just named weirdly, and i know im considering investing into pc4000/ddr5000 RAM although would this provide higher clocks along with better performance.
Thanks

Getting DDR500 won't guarantee higher overclocks, but you're definitely losing performance by running the CPU at 250MHz & the RAM at 160MHz.

"it aint the AGP voltage. I have been told before it is the Chipset Volatge just named weirdly"

LOL. Who told you that? It's the AGP voltage.

"AGP VDDQ Voltage : 1.5V. VDDQ is an engineering term meaning Voltage between Drain and common for Data Quad-band. In English, this refers to how much voltage should be supplied to the video card"

Have you try to attach a fan to the northbridge for higher FSB overclocking?

erm ok the person that told me that is wrong ok so what voltage should this be at?? Also i would put a fan on the northwood cooler but the enormous xp-120 restricts me to. Im looking at getting a Thermaltake CL-C0034 CHIPSET EXTREME SPIRIT II because of the rotating fins with fan which would possibly allow me to use it. On this subject has anyone tried one of these before or got a link to a review. Any more tips would be fully welcome.
Thanks
