Network issue when overclocking

It was running at 218 x11 @ 2398Mhz v1.55

Now I will be testing it runing as follows:

240 x10 @ 2400Mhz v1.575

I have also set in the bios RAM 333Mhz so when overclocking it run @ 400Mhz

What do you think about that?

and it seems to be working fine, except that my Neatgear Wireless Network Card is always runing very low signal and disconecting constantly.

Please help on that.

Many Thanks

Do you have a PCI speed lock in the bios ?? The only thing that i can think of is a PCI bus runing to fast for the card.......

 

Thanks for your reply.

Well I think so, I have AGP Lock which is set to 67Mhz, but I can't find PCI Lock.

My BIOS is the latest version.

Please Help

Many Thanks

It only does it at a hi FSB ????

 

Well at the moment it's "Low Signal", my PC is O/C as follows:

240 x10 @ 2.4Ghz / RAM set in the bios 333Mhz so with overclocking it runs @400Mhz. (is that high frequency?)

I was able to set my AGP at 67Mhz.

Where in the bios should be my PCI Lock?

Many Thanks

Your not running yor ram 1:1 ?? its faster when its running 1:1 is the CPU locked ?? If your mobo doesent have a PCI lock at a FSB of 240 your PCI bus should be running at 40 MHz to hi for most PCI cards......(33Mhz is stock)...

 

How do I know if my RAM is runing at 1:1?

Thanks

Mauro Rocha

 

your FSB is at 240 right ? and your running the ram at 400 right ?? 1:1 whould be the ram and FSB running at the same speed .......

 

So you mean that, whem I was running before it would be faster? (218 x11 @ 2398Mhz)

But how much overclock can do with my RAM (Corsair XMS 512Mb DDR400) before it was running @ 434Mhz, and I which to overclock more. What do you recomend me to do then?

Many Thanks

Ok first what timings and speeds does your ram run stock ?? Secound What CPU do you have and what is its stock speeds ??

 

My Mem is Corsair XML 512Mb DDR400, which it's meant to run at 400Mhz.

But not sure about timings. @ 200Mhz I think 3cl. (Does it mean anything to you?)

My CPU is a AMD64 (Newcastle) 3.2 fsb 240 x10 @ 2.4Ghz Stable (Stock 200 x11 @ 2Ghz).

Is the CPU locked ? Can you whant the maltiplyer ??

 

It is not locked, it can go from x4 until x11.

 

Try running 218x11 are you running stock voltage on the ram and CPU ???

 

At 218 x11 worksfine but it wont let me overclock more (219 x11 sometimes it crashes with stock voltage at least) and the same prob with Wireless Network Card.

The voltage I have increased from v1.55 to v1.575 (not big deal, some people say I should go a bit more with my voltage).

The RAM voltage is Auto.

what is the FSB limit when the card starts to mess up ?

 

It crashed running 220 x11 @2420Mhz.

It still loading Windows, but crashes at Games.

 

try 218 (436 DDR) 1:1 with the ram at ram timmings 2.5 3 3 11......

 

At 218 works fine, but I want to get more without having problems with my Wireless Card.

Many Thanks

If your mobo doesent have a PCI lock you wont be able to go over 218 with out the network card messing up ...

 

Then I will probably have to use wired.

Many thanks for your great help, much appreciated.
