Full Version: ASRock P4Dual-915GL overclocking?

Can anyone with the ASRock P4Dual-915GL (The same board listed in the $199 build) tell me about it's overclocking options? Can it run a 533MHz bus Celeron at 800MHz if the the chip is capable? Does the board have any voltage adjustments?

Thanks

I have this board running with a Celeron D 326. The board has no voltage options. You can adjust the FSB though. I have clocked mine with 150 MHZ. This gives me an overclock 2.53 -> 2.85 MHz. It didn't work with 151. Maybe I have to tweak my ram settings.

Thanks, can you tell me what brand and spec memory you're running?
edit: You're using the original retail heatsink and fan that came with the Celeron, right?

I have two different modules (I know, they should be the same brand): 512 MB MDT PC 400 and 512 MB TwinMOS PC400.

I tried different Ram settings and only one ram module. But with every ram setting 150 Mhz FSB is the maximum stable.

I'm using the orginal heat sink/fan though.

But you know, the mac experience is not about speed it's about workflow SCR laugh.gif laugh.gif

the default ram timing can and should be changed for better performance. the bios default settings are SLOW.

For some reason on my setup the overclock doesn't always work.
2.66celery, 150fsb but usually runs at 2685 instead of 3ghz of so.

150FSB is also the highest value I can achieve. 151 won't boot. Which RAM settings do you guys use? I have it all at "auto" with CAS 2.5 set manually.

I have this board too. With all the fanfare surrounding it and the OSx86 project you'd think we'd be able to get a good bios hack to open up voltage options for it. If anyone has a working one, I'd like to see it.

As noob to PC board, can someone give me some details on what settings I should change and how o change them, particularly for the FSb and RAM timing
