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
i asked the same question..... looks like me and you are building the same comp.... im going with p4C 2.4 and plan on OCing it over 3.0.... just check it out
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.
anus really recommend cosair or geil ram.... i was thinking about getting the geil 1gb ultra series... pc3500 .... but i think i might get more peformance out of cosair tiwx 1gb pc3700....
i havent really got all my parts down yet but ill write everything down in a lilbit.... not right.. i have my girl friend over if you read throught that thread i posted a link of the RAM im gettin...
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
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.
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.
