Overclocked = Video errors

GhastMaster · 03-13-2007

I overclocked my motherboard with Systool ver1 build 728 (because I was the only one I found that supported my clock generator that I could find, winbond 8362thf). It is an early alpha release. I have a pentium 4 630 (3.0 ghz) and two 512 sticks of geil pc2 4300 ram (266mhz)up to 566 i think. My motherboard is a ECS PF5 at 200mhz it is rated at 800. I also have a xfx geforce 6600 le which is at core speed 327 and memory 557. When I boosted my motherboard to about 240 and played Counter strike source, sounds were weird and images were jumpy. Do I need to bump my video card speed along with my fsb? My tempertures were below 54celcius for the cpu while at peak performance. Any hints and tricks will help.

Hi GhastMaster,

I personally recommend against over clocking...
it serverely reduces the life of your hardware.

On that note - try underclocking your RAM speed.

I highly suggest never setting the overclock settings on nvidia to max and then hitting test...
