I have just built my first pc with hopes in overclocking it.
Specs:
AMD 64 3200+ Venice
GIGABYTE GA-K8N Ultra-9 Socket 939 NVIDIA nForce4 Ultra ATX
ZALMAN CNPS7700-ALCU 120mm
CORSAIR 1GB 184-Pin DDR SDRAM DDR 400 Unbuffered Dual Channel
Gigabyte comes with EasyTuner, which is what I was using. I bumped it up from 2000 to 2200 no problem, let it run for a bit, then moved to 2300 and it froze. I had to reboot and it seems to have fixed itself.
Is the freezing a symptom of the cheaper RAM? or is it a power thing? I have a 500w power supply in my case... but I've read about people jamming it up to 2800 without increasing the power.
My video card is a rather cheap ATI 300SE, but I'm not sure if that would have an effect or not.
Thanks for any tips!!
