Hello everyone, I thought I would try out the systool for my first water cooled overclocked system. I realize the PF5 is a terrible board for overclocking, but I won it at a lanparty recently, so if I have too I can buy a better one.
I have an Intel Pentium D 805 Smithfield 533Mhz FSB LGA775
2 Gigs of Aeneon (Infinion) DDR2 533Mhz Ram, timing 4.4.4.11 I think (which I had to manually set in the bios)
Swiftech H20-120 Premium Liquid cooling kit
74 gig WD Raptor drive
The issue I am having is when I overclock my system over 160Mhz FSB I loose my SATA drives. Ive seen many reviews of this motherboard and they all have the same results as mine. Also, when I run systool I can get my CPUFSB up to 175 before it reboots. I think this has something to do with the PCIE fsb going too high.
When I turn off the PCIE, CPUFSB Sync Lock I can't change the PCIE clock seperatly in Systool. Is this normal? or am I missing something. If I could somehow get my PCIE clock to stay at 120Mhz PCIE couldn't I get my CPU clock alot higher without loosing my SATA drives?
Also, I have tried ClockGen, but the ICS for my motherboard is not there, and the closest compatible doesent support the PCIE Bus, so that pretty much rules it out.
I don't want to settle for 160FSB/3.2Ghz with this water cooling kit.
Any help is appriciated!
