3000 athlon 64 overclock help

[Kingofpain]

Thx for the link was looking for that site,

so what shall i do with dram voltage, auto(2.5 i think) normal(duno) or high(2.7 i read)?

btw i can run 2.20 ghz with processor voltage at 1.40v
with no errors, is that better than having it at 1.45v?
or do i only go to 1.45 if i want to carry on going up with the overclock?

one other thing im confused about also is, wouldnt running my ram at 400 be better than 333? i dont understand why you should lower that is it for stability?

thanks for all the help so far btw much appreciated, sorry if im asking too many questions just trying to learn about what im doing rather than getting the desired effect without knowledge of how i got it.

if anyone can answer the above questions i would much appreciate it, also would like to know why people say cool 'n' quiet kills your overclock, i have it enabled and my cpu ghz still go up?

If you're sure it's 2.7v then yeah set the DRAM voltage to 'high'.

The lower the voltage the better, less heat is good. If your CPU is stable at 1.40v then by all means keep it at that.

As for memory dividers, give >this< a read to help you understand.

Basically setting it to DDR333 with the FSB at stock (200) would indeed slow your memory down to DDR333 speeds but as your FSB is currently at 245, your RAM will run at 200 i.e. stock.

Thanks alot im starting to get the hang of this after reading some guides over again i can understand them more now.

props to nightshadow.

i had torture test going on with a spyware scan at the same time

thats with processor multi and x9 and 1.40v and processor running at 2.21ghz

should i turn it down from 45 to 40 or turn the volts up one notch?

Volts back up to 1.45, 7 hours is pretty damn good so as long as your temps are okay I think this'll be rock solid.
