OK, so now I've got my mojo working, how do I crank it up higher? The 2.6Ghz P4C is ROCK SOLID at 255, 1:1, 3.34GHz (see this LINK for a Sandra b/mark) and all I've done so far is up the Vcore to 1.675 or thereabout.
When you guys said OCing the P4C is easy you were soooo right! I'm absolutely amazed how easy it is to achieve DDR500/1000FSB, looks like you just need some decent memory - the ADATA PC4000 sticks ROCK.
BUT, how do I take it further? I can get it to 263 by taking the Vcore up and Vdimm up but it's not 100% stable and I don't really know what I'm doing now so have backed down to 255... Remember we're trying to get to 275 here!
So, pardon me for asking but here's yet more noob Q's...
- How do you know if you need to up Vcore or Vdimm when you hit an unstable bus speed?
- What are safe limits for Vcore & Vdimm before the kit fries - is it really only heat limited?
- At what temps should I start getting worried?
- Do you want fries with that?
Maybe I should run that program to test the max speed of the RAM, memtest memset or something, right?
