Temps&Shutting down

[Merlin4458]

Just installed my new mobo the Abit AT8, and also installed a new xp-120. I thought id overclock my cpu(all specs are in "my System". So i simply uped to to 237x11 = 2.6. I know it genrally isnt that simple to overclock but thought id try it that way. I was playing source for about 15 mins, until my pc restarts. I went straight into bios o nthe restart and the cpu temp was 47 and NB was 53. What are these temps like, im gonna guess they would have been higher about 30 secs before as i was ingame...
What do u think caused the restart.
I never know how much paste too put on the cpu/hsf but it seemed adequete

Any help would be great

cheers

Edit: how would i increase the cpu fan? i cant find it in uGuru and speedfan is ****e

bumpety bump

47 is alright

edit

have you tested your oc for stability priror, and what volts have you on cpu

[Merlin4458]

the vlots are stock, and no i havent, currently running prime95, sp2004 found an error early on, il put the volts up, see how it goes.

Edit: hardware failure detected. Wot u recon i should wack the voltage too, jsut a bit higher and try again?

[Max Tractor]

This is why it rebooted, not stable, try a notch up at a time. Personally I run a quick super pi 1m, and if it passes I go for prime

[Merlin4458]

super pi worked for the first few times finishing in 32, but then errors occured wheen i tried to run, thanks for the QUICK help max. appreciated

OCCT and S+M are short tests 30 mins or so, have a search for them also

[Merlin4458]

i was trying to run OCCT and during the pc restarted. My volts are now 1.475 and it restarted, its weird, cause on my asus a8n sli i managed to get 2.6 without a problem..

Im putting the volts up to 1.5 but on uGuru its still showing at 4.7... Even though im changing it in that aswell
Even cpu-z is saying 1.4....

[Max Tractor]

You have had the same cpu in the asus at what speed/volts?

[Merlin4458]

2.6 237x11 voltage i think was 1.45. Ive got a very weird feeling, that sp2004 and prime 95 are getting errors even at stock. I just a had a bit of spell where my pc kept freezing, 10 secons are reboot. cleared CMOs to no avail, but now things seem fine, when i went into bios and put everything to default....

hmm

[Max Tractor]

Maybe it does not like Corsair

You could try dropping Muliplier of the CPU so it is still at stock or lower and setting the RAM to be at stock or lower just to see if the HTT bus can run at higher speeds

ie 237x10 - > 2.37Ghz

my mb HTT can do 300+ but at stock volts my 165 can only cope with 250 *9 -> 2.25Ghz

(btw CPU-Z reports a slightly higher voltage for me - not sure if the mb is adding a bit more juice)

edit: correct some gibberish

[scrandman]

Drop the HT multiplier to 4 (you need to keep the total under 1000) from the default 5.

Put the RAM on the 166 divider. You might need to set the timings to PC3200 settings.

[Merlin4458]

in all honestly, im really not used to the layout of this Abit bios.
A: I cant find the HTT option, Mulitplier
B: Cant see where to put the Ram on divider 166
C: correct to my last post the system is stable at stock

what M/B have you got Abit bios? your 'My system' lists A8N-SLI

[Merlin4458]

i do appologise, its now been replaced with an Abit At8
Duno if this is relevent, but on the abit CD there are no "chipset drivers" like on my old Asus CD. Are there none? I deleted my old asus ones btw.
