Hello, Using the system below with a PCI vga I have 3390mhz Orthos stable overclocking just raising voltage and fsb.
mobo: GA-P31-DS3L (F10 now but also used F9)
cpu: E2160
vga: HD4870X2 (3DMark has poor score but ultra stable)
memory: 2GB AET760UD00-25D (Memtest86+ tested up to 900mhz)
power supply: Modu82+ 625W (+3.3VV 24A, +5VV 24A,
+12V1V 25A, +12V2V 25A, +12V3V 25A)
hard disk: 5@7200rpm
The problem:
a) Since I have inserted the hd4870x2 (works perfectly btw) there is a total fsb wall at exactly FSB 333mhz and no matter what I try, even detaching hard disks and fans, I cannot get past it and the max clock is 3000mhz (Orthos stable). When I try to get past 333, I hear three beeps, one short, two long which seem to indicate a "video card problem", the screen is black and I have to reset via jumper.
b) Searching on the web there is people with different mobos and q6600s overclocked (@3.2-4) + hd4870x2 on 620hx or 650w psus. So I don't think it is a power supply problem. And there are reviews showing () that this mobo is a good oc'er.
I would like to know:
1) Is this definitely a motherboard/P31/bios limitation that occurs when my specific 4870x2 card is used? Is there some chance to get past 333fsb tweaking bios settings or not?
2) If I bought a quad core Q6600 would I be able to overclock at least to 3.0ghz (333 fsb x 9) OR i would get issues and maybe a wall even lower than 333?
