Very true Mog, very true :)

Well, all signs of BSODicular behaviour have gone, so I think I've managed to walk around the problem :)

Denial Mr Reed is a symptom of addiction, If you can admit openly your hopeless dependence on WOW, that would be the first step on the road to recovery.

Don't try it if you have kids and a family.

It's like... I'm not sure really. You sit down to play it, and you end up stopping many hours later. You do it again the next day, and so forth.
It's not addictive as such, you just... play it a lot :D

Not yet, Its one of those series of games that ive been meaning to try for years but just have'nt.(have not)

Although i have the TF2 twitch which spasmodically changes the pitch of my voice to a yankee drawl, Then i cast dispersions on other players sexualities.

At least it isn't World of Warcraft addiction.

Good point Wiz, maybe im having a mini crisis of confidence or i really dont want to fry the E4500, The D915 was a fire and forget CPU which i definately will lap now due to it becoming a practise chip.

Ive nearly got enough parts for a fourth rig now, Im starting to feel the tremblings of a component addiction.

warm regards

You already know how Mog - Just do the same as you did for your D915. :)

[quote][b]mog wilson (08/06/2008)[/b][hr]Martenreed, Are you the man to guide me in overclocking my E4500?

Nope :(

I've only ever 'clocked on a Gigabyte board, and I'm not too sure how other BIOS' work.

Or how this one works....

It's rated to run at 5-5-5-18 like I said in the OP, but I'd tightened the timings. I'll put the timings back to CL4 and run Memtest next reboot :)

Is it rated to run at 4,4,4,12, have you run memtest?
If that's ruled out then try running it at 2.7 for a while and see if the same happens.

As you know though BSOS can be caused by a lot of things that have nothing to do with an overclock.

RE: Rather unstable E4500!

MartenReed — Tue, 27 May 2008 14:19:23 GMT

It was running at 315MHz, now back up at 400MHz (It's DDR2, so 630/800)

What's your memory running at and what's it rated?

Having a few problems with my overclock.
In the past week, WoW has BSOD'd a fair few times, at least 3. Normally, not too bothered, except it did it mainly in dungeons. Now, I know it's now a WoW issue as it's fine now my CPU and Memory are back at stock. I'm not sure why my PC is so unstable though. I had the memory at +0.1V, every other voltage at stock, timings at 4-4-4-12 (from 5-5-5-18), and the CPU was at 2.89GHz..

Could it not be getting enough voltage, or is this board pretty useless?
