Well…. not exactly a good day for me today. I got a ticket for speeding 24 km/h over the speed limit. I didn’t see the cop pointing his radar gun at me at all. He was nicely hidden >.>; at least now I know that I should be careful around that area.
Anyways, I learned from a friend that running folding@home is a better way to test for stability. So even though your overclock is a prime stable, it does not mean that it won’t crash when you are running folding client. I am going to run it overnight and see my current overclock(400×8) is stable.
On a side note, I messed around with my bios trying to get more from my CPU. I set the vcore to 1.2v with 450fsb x 8 multiplier. It posted but as soon as it started loading windows, it crashed (BSOD) and restarted /sigh. I tried to lower the timings on my ram from 4-4-4-15 to 5-5-5-15 with no luck then I reduce my FSB t0 420 and I still got BSOD.
My ram was trying to run at 840 MHz while it’s only rated at 800 MHz. Even with slower timings, I still got BSOD when booting to windows.I would really hate it if I have to get a new ram so I can overclock more :S as I am kinda broke this month.I have couple more things to try before I decide to get a new ram >.>. I am going to try to run at cas 6 so I should be able to get more MHz from my ram and if I can get 900MHz, I would be so happy.

Nice…I’ve read both post and that pretty cool. I’m not cheap on shipping. My idea, spend a bit more and it’ll be here faster. Nice processor. Good luck on the computer stuff your doing…
I had around 3000 points so might as well used it hehe. 2500 points = free shipping. Not a bad deal I think.
Going to try couple more things tonight so I hope I can hit 3.4 – 3.5 GHz with my current memory. I hope I don’t have to buy a new pair of memory.
Been doing nothing except playing around with my new processed these last 2 days lol.
On a side note, Code Geass r2 is coming out this week (Saturday I think). Can’t wait ^^
