Oh, while naming, I jus typed it in, nvr thought it wud go 10 pages and 3000+ views already or more I guess.

But If I get to name it, I wud make it UnOfficial

^^You can rename the thread. Just edit your first post, and there you can change the name of the thread as well.

 

[realdan]

maybe after renaming it..it can be stickied

 

[comp@ddict]

I changed it, but there is no change in the name in the HARDWARE section yet^

 

[realdan]

well i tried what betatesting said..and i can edit the title of the thread started..since you cant then there could be a time limit beyond which you can no longer change the title...
then only the admin can do it now
anyway there are no problems with it as it is

 

[comp@ddict]

Yes, no probs sir. Keepin the thread productive is the priority.

i got a problem... i overclocked my cpu to 3.4 ghz and was workin fine... today morning it jus wouldnt boot (until yesterday night it was workin fine...) and i tried some somestuff by shorting my power switch, reseting cmos etc etc... then it gave me a warning "previous overclocking was unstable, do u want to use the same settings or do you want to reset to original settings"

so i gave the normal settings and my cpu was running at its default 3.00GHz.... and today afternoon when i turned on my computer it again said the same warning eventhough it was running only at 3.00GHZ.... so what could be the problem....

another problem is that sometimes when i use cpu z to check my cpu speed.. it sometimes says my cpu speed is 1450.3Mhz... and when i restart my computer it is restored to 3.00Ghz.... how could that be possible... ????

 

[comp@ddict]

First, go to bios and undo all changes, LOAD OPTIMAL DEFAULTS.

Then I wud advice, at stock cooling, don't try 3.6GHz again unless u r keep to put ur PROCC on an appointment with the Computer GOD.

Well, about the speed coming down, tht's INTEL's SPEED STEP technology, which underclocks the CPU when not being utilised too much to save on power, but it shotos back up when utilisation begins and demand is there.

U can again disable this via BIOS.

tht's INTEL's SPEED STEP technology,

U can again disable this via BIOS.

thanks bro..., worked like a charm.... but i couldnt find any "intel's speed step" in my bios, fyi i'm using an MSI p45 - neo f, any guess where tat option would be, and in my overclocking menu most of the options are either auto or disabled and no manual configurations....

 

[hellgate]

^^^ look for something like Halt State or C1E.

i have Q6600 with TRUE heatsink... IX38QuadGT mobo and Corsair 4gb ram... Tagan 650 and CM690...

i am presently working at stock speed... how much can i overclock and how to proceed with that

It's kk, leave it like that, saves ur electricity bill
Nxt time don't OC till there, or buy a cheap watercooling kit or a powerful AIR cooler @ 2.5k

Excellent RIG< mention the GPU too.

And for Overclocking, see the first page of the thread, read and then ask further if there is some query.

 

[ganeshravi]

^^lol... "saving electricity bill"... good one.....

and any recomendations for a cheap water cooling kit ?

 

[amitash]

^I would rather go for an air cooler kit like the TRUE at 2.5k rather than a cheap water cooler (which i think will be 4-6k)...The TRUEs performance is excelent and very competetive with cheap water coolers...I would suggest the TRUE.
BTW to disable speedstep, disable something called EIST on your motherboard...If the msi bios is familiar to mine you will probably find this under cell menu.
EDIT: @compaddict: why double post..or in this case quadruple post? just edit the last thread

 

[comp@ddict]

Yes it is advisable to not go for CHEAP water cooling kits(dunno, nxt day there mite be a mini flood in ur cabby lol)

PURE @ 2.5k is a tempting offer, another in the same range is Artic Freezer PRO which is a very good option.

I expected atupmerge, but only later did I come to know there were separate posts, didn't bother after that.

i am using XFX 8200gt for now as i want to save some money and buy a better card...

is there anyone with the same rig who have tried to overclock...

 

[comp@ddict]

No, ur rig is superb, I wud suggest save 10k and go for an HD4850 SONIC, else save 16.5k and get HD4870, I suggest the HD4870, and then u'll see the glory of games.

Over clocked 7200GS
core mhz 450 to 630
memory mhz 530 to 900
no heat issues(max 71¤) and stability probs
but no considerable perfomance rise only slight change
i know its a low end card so i was ready to burn it !!

Are u sure it isn't a 8500GT or 8600GT?

Dude, u can't just increase the speed to anywhere. Play a game and note the frames with FRAPS with default, then increase core by 50Mhz and Memory by another 50Mhz and then check.

Keep increasing till you see gains in frames per second. After a certain level, the Frames per second will start decreasing instead, that means u have reached the max limit of overclock. Go about 20Mhz both core and memory back from this "MAX" limit, and save the profile, and get gaming.

 

[ajai5777]

I hav tried the best.after 640 the system will be unstable so i reduced it to 630
in the case of memory
i tried even 980 but after that the system crashes when i try to load any game even told no gpu present so i fixed to 900
now i will try decreasing core mhz from 630
