Overclocking Problems
Hey guys, I am currently having a problem with trying to overclock my CPU. For some reason when I set the clock speed in the bios, it has no effect on the actual clock speed as tested using Sisoft Sandra. I'll list the relevant components in my system here:
2.4Ghz 800Mhz FSB Pentium 4 DFI LanParty Pro 875 1024Mb Corsair PC3200 Dual Channel Ram GeForce FX5900 I've read reviews about my exact motherboard and CPU combo being used to overclock to 3.0Ghz+ so I know it should work... it just doesn't. Anyone have any ideas why? |

What are you setting the FSB to?

Perhaps you should read up on overclocking, as you clearly need to
To overclock a p4 you have to up the front side bus. Your ram doesnt give you much head room though, not at 1:1 anyway. |

Actually, I was trying to figure out how you were overclocking. If you were just trying to reset the multiplier, then nothing will happen - the multiplier is hardware locked.
If you are upping the FSB and still nothing in changing, then you are probably doing something wrong - perhaps you are exiting the bios without saving changes. The Lanparty mobo should have a genie menu (I think thats what is it. I'll recheck mine when I get home - its the far right meni in the bios) that gives you some easy overclocking options. You might want to try those.
