newb oc

[bobtom]

ok well this is my first post and as u can see im obviously new here. Ive recently started to overclock my fx-60 which is stock 2.6ghz. Specs are 8800gtx xxx, fx-60, a8n32-sli deluxe, 2gb ocz platinum pc-3200 any suggestions or comments would be nice

heres a picture of my system so far

Looks good. You should fill out the system specs in the cp, and tell us what bios changes you've done to get your oc. Also, what kind of cooling are you using?

Also, what kind of cooling are you using?cp what?. only thing ive done to the bios is showin in crystal cpuid (so basically multiplier,voltage and system clock). and im using a scythe ninja with an antec 120mm 2000rpm red fan stock cooling on video

I think the memory can handle a bit more... try 4-4-4-12 1T.

[bobtom]

memory is at stock right now so ill try to change it

[erocker]

Heh, that's a pretty good OC already! Do you know how to overclock through the bios? Btw, when you have time edit your system specs in your User CP, and be sure to tick the box so we can see it. And welcome!

Do you know how to overclock through the bios?

:twitch: yr kidding right? yes i know how just not as well for memory, i got it down to 4-4-4-12 but it doesnt like the 1t

[erocker]

I don't know? Just asking...

I run my fsb @300 1500htt a mem divider of 1.66, 500mhz mem. Just wondering why you are using ai booster?

[bobtom]

becuase it was there :D and it shows the numbers in bigger bolder writing

In that case go back to origional timings.

[erocker]

Generally, you will get a better and more stable overclock through your bios. The stock latency is 4 on those?

[Paulieg]

It's pc3200. I think the timings are like 2.5-3-3-5. Oh, and you click on CP from menu at the top of the TPU screen, the go to system spec's.

i found out its up right now. As for the case its a deep red :) i just spray painted one of the front bezels which is a mesh type thing and it looks nice gonna work on the rest over the next few weeks :) then ill post pics of it

What kind of stability testing are you doing? What do your temps look like under load?

[bobtom]

idle is about 40c load is about 47c. i did cpu burn in for 7 hrs last nite, ran aquamark, superpi, 3dmark01 just to start. got about 40k in 3dM01, 76k in AM#, and about 32s for 1million digits in superpi. is there anything else i should be running other than 3dmark 03/05/06, pcmark, sisoft?

[Paulieg]

Yes. Here are the best stability programs to use, IMHO...OCCT and Orthos prime. You really don't know load temps until you run these programs...
