if its passing small tft's but fails the blend its probly memory related. In witch case id try upping the mem voltage a tad

[silencecom]

im using the 1000W real power pro

what psu u using i m gonna to get the gtx 260 core 216 card but its a power hungry baster it need 36 amp for the card alone even the cooler master 550 watt power pro won't do the job....

my goddddddddd ur pc r quiet as... not thing is there

great news!!got it running at 3.5 with good temps!it turned out the northbridge required a few more volts! memory is still on stock volts! completed 12 hours using blend!! thanks :)

[starsky1970s]

did not jump in at 3.6 but tried 3.5 and upped the volts as you said!! but i increased the core voltage in steps! to scared! got to 1.45 on core as windows would hang running small tft test until i reached 1.45.managed to finally complete small tft for 45 min without hanging and temp of 54-55 at 100% load. when i tried the blend test i cant get by a few minutes without failing orthos! any ideas? 388 fsb on a 9x,778mhz on memory rated 1.8v.any ideas?

thnx silencecom for the advice!!!! i will hit the overclocking over the next week and post comment... much appreciated!!

my method just happends to be to set the settings way high and then work down. some people like to work up. these days you dont have to worry much about fry the chip as it will bot post or will shutdown if its too hot or there is too much voltage or overclock etc.

[silencecom]

You can realy use any mothod you want but your ultimate goal should be to get the highest comfortable speed using the least voltage possible while keeping temps under 70c in blend tests and under 75c in small tft's while being stable durring blend for at least 8hrs but 24 is best.

Make sure you test using small tft's or whatever so its using your cache when doing initial testing as it will fail the quickest with this test and also most heat. For the longer tests use a blend. using blend monitor temps.
