help with buying sys for OCing

[Viper66]

Hi Folks,

I m kinda Newbie to OCing,
I want to buy a new M/B, CPU and RAM. My intention is to O/C to get more performance from the new comps. I read few articles about Boards and the possible settings to use to OC.

My target sys is:
P4 2.4 (800 FSB HT) CPU ; is it true that u can push it to 3.2GHz
MotherBoard.... need recommendation as I will be going for 3.2 CPU in about 6-8 months.
RAM.......also need recommendation on this. 2X512 Kingston PC 3400 is recommended on some sites

G/C : I already have ATI Radeon 9500 Pro.
HD: I have IBM 120GB 7200 rpm. I am thinking about going for 2 SATA drives.

Cooling: I need recommendation on this also
My work is mainly 3D Modelling and Rendering

Any help will be appreciated

Happy Newyear 2004

Bertz,

Which Asus board did you get...... P4C800-E Delux of P4P800 Delux.

Can you list all the comps in you sys Please?
I am in favour of Kingston memory, 2X512 Kingston PC 3400. But I am not sure how it would perform compared to yours.

TIA

[xDownSetx]

a 2.4c m0 at 250fsb... thats gotta be a crime thoes m0's pull 3.2-3.3 out of the box on stock vcore

[xDownSetx]

and jcpiercy why did you up the core so much? your mobo, cpu and memory should work perfect together you cant get higer that 250? esp with that vcore on an m0

OK, I ve been away for a wile,

I got this sys

P4 2.4C
Abit IC7-G
2*512 Corsair XM Pro PC4000
WD Raptor SATA
Thermal right SP-94 heatsink + a Delt fan(110 CFM)
Connect 3D 9500 Pro


As I stated in my first post I m kind a new to this OCing stuff,
I need help on how to start OCing the P4. I changed the FSB from 200 to 210 in the bios and I think I got about 2.6 speed. The sys run smooth. But I am sure there are other areas to gain even more speed i.e. Increasing the voltage for the CPU, changing some params for the DDR and Graphics card.

Need a lot of help Please.

OK, keep bumping the FSB, watch your temps, and when it starts crashing with the benchmarks bump the voltage a little at a time. WATCH your temps! you should be able to bump up to 1.75 on the core, but do it a little at a time. you will find the max FSB and voltage by doing it slowly.
