Hello,

I have been overclocking now for a while but can't get my p4 2.4 higher than 2.7ghz when i set it to for ex 2.8 or even 2.75ghz
it boots normally but when i for example try to load 3dmark 2k3, it loads for 3/4 and then gives a file error.

file ^%#^@^.mb or something is corrupt.

i have tried many things like lowering mem clock cause i thought it was my memory didnt help. havent tried highering mem timings but were on defaults when i first tried and one optimized settings when i tried again no differences. someone told me its a harddisk failure

hmm was hoping one of u guys could help me out on this cause it doesnt get to hot even @ highest voltage (1.8) it doesnt get to hot. and yes its on asynchronous )

my harddisk is a maxtor 60gig 7200rpm 2mb cache
mem : 512 ( mem timings 2 2 2 5 ) stable had them on 2 3 3 6 (spd) when ocing higher then 2.7


video card went from 275 to 344 and 270 to 300 without artifacts

Taken from Overclocking posts, threads & advice...

Is the PCI bus speed locked or relative to FSB? If it increases with FSB, it might be too much for IDE controller and causes data corruption.

how can i check and how can let them run asynchronous
