| what is holding me back specs: P IV 2.4c @3Ghz (Sl6WF Malay) Corsair pc 3700 @ 250 Fsb 250 (1:1) Hercules 9800 np @ 420/375 Maxtor sata 120 GB Asus p4c 800 e deluxe (last bios update) chieftec 360 watt I can 't overclock further, when I set fsb at 265 I receive errors with prime95 (rounding was expected less than 0.5 or something) When I set my FSB to 270 the message ' irql not less or equal' appear and a memory dump starts. I've tried 3:2 and 5:4 but no succes. My temps stay under 45°C (asus probe). Can it be my powersupply? I have 5 casefans ( vantec tornado is for sale), 3 ccfls also. greetz cali |

| probably not, my guess is your cpu won't go any further. ram = ok as you have divided it (3:2, 5:4)

| the best thin to find out whether your PSU is holding u back, is checking the voltages. Maybe upping the VCore will help (but not too high, P4's don't like that). |

| upping the vcore could put more strain on your psu, that's no way of checking the psu...

| The VCore upping is to OC a bit further . |

| Voltages are stable while stressing (prime 95). I pushed vcore to 1.6V, i think it s high enough with stock cooling. I will test it again how far I can get my cpu, i thought the 2.4c was able to oc further |

| sometimes yes, maybe it'll be stable at 1.6 volts and 265 fsb, however I doubt your ram can take that 1:1

| my P4 2.4C is stable at 3200mhz, anything higher requires a lot of extra vcore :/

| Jmke how much voltage is given to your cpu? At what FSB, ram frequency? |

| you know the FSB ram frequency doesn't matter either voltage: 1.65v @ 3.2 for higher I need 1.7+
