need help over clocking?

Question

i hvae a custome built system.im running a p4 thats rated at 2.4 ghz,but it only runs at 1.59 ghz.and i can only get it to run at 1.81 before system failure. oh its a pentium M .im on a biostar p4m80-m4 board i have 512 of ram,and a nvidia fx5200 256 mb video card,running win xp pro.i usually try to over clock in the bios by increasing the voltage,and from what i se there is no way to manually overclock on the board .can any one help me

Answer 1

Try loading Fail Safe Defaults or Optimized Defaults in BIOS then save and exit.



Voltage adjustment does not increase clock speed. It is for maintaining stability at higher clock speeds.

Answer 2

What kind of Ram are you running? It should be DDR400 but it appears to be running at DDR266. Ram runs at the speed of the slower stick so if you have DDR400 and DDR266 sticks it will only run 266. If one stick is 400 and the other 266 take the 266 out and try it with just the 400.

Answer 3

i just pulled your motherboards manual, it does infact have the cpu frequency and voltage control in your bios. Try simply locking your memory down and raising your fsb to 230 to start.

if your memory modules are decent it will run fine at this setting, to get into larger leaps you will have to raise fsb a bit more raising voltages until system becomes unstable (at that point check what speed your memory is running at) if mem is high , lock it down to a lower speed, retry, if then stable start raising fsb again...
