Overclocking (Main Thread)

I’ve run into a bit of an issue while overclocking my CPU. When everything is set to the default settings, I hear the usual click during startup followed by a single beep, indicating that the system is posting correctly. If I set the FSB to 250, the processor runs at 2380 MHz, memory sits at 396 (792) MHz, and HT runs at 1002 (800) MHz. So far, the system seems perfectly stable—MemTest passed without issues, and I ran Orthofs for four hours with zero errors.
The trouble starts when I bump the FSB up to 255 and drop the multiplier on the HT link to 600. In this configuration, the computer powers on, but there is no video output. I don't even hear the initial clicking sound or the POST beep.

With my limited knowledge, I’d probably try lowering my... first off...

Is that an overclock or just the factory setting?

He would be king of the hill with that setup if we were still living in 2004.🤣

Absolutely, that was a top-tier setup back in 2004. 👍

By the way, it feels like they just shoved every single component they couldn't offload onto you...

Unless we're talking about the processor, which apparently became "ancient junk" the very second those e8xx chips hit the market.🤔🤔

Alright, I have to say the processor is solid, but everything else leaves a bit to be desired. 👎

The motherboard uses a 945 chipset, 😂😂

Daniel Nguyen3 said:Fine, sure, the processor performs adequately enough, but everything else about this setup is 👎

the motherboard uses an NVIDIA nForce2 chipset 😂😂

😂 Look, the bottom line here is that he actually has a GPU capable of DX10 support, which is what really matters 👍

It's like they were assembling his 🤣
at a local Best Buy.

now you're actually😠😂 pulling my leg (just kidding)

😂 little... noticed it was built into the processor

I wouldn't wish this kind of configuration on my worst enemy😁

honestly, even a drunk couldn't pull together a mess quite that spectacular

In my humble opinion, things could have certainly turned out even worse than they did.
He really could have gone with an EVGA Power Supply 👍

Heh, or maybe even a Corsair Power Supply.
