When you raise the "host clock", which is the FSB, you are also raising |
| 13 |
the frequency of your RAM. So make sure you select a lower FSB:DRAM |
| 14 |
ratio in your BIOS. To begin with, set it to 1:1. |
| 15 |
|

Also, if you only have the stock CPU cooler that came with it, you won't |
| 17 |
be able to actually get a stable overclock. Your CPU's stock frequency |
| 18 |
is 2GHz. Without a better cooler, you might get it to 2.2 or 2.3 maybe. |
| 19 |
But 2.6? That's pretty optimistic. I don't think it'll work in the |
| 20 |
long run, unless you happen to have picked a good chip that can be |
| 21 |
overclocked without raising the VCore. |

But first, solve the RAM problem by lowering the FSB:DRAM ratio. |
