i am pretty much new to the whole OC business
decided id try and see how far my cpu can go
ive been using ASRock OC tuner to get 3Ghz without giving it a second thought for a while
then i read guys reporting frequencies 3.4-3.6 and even 4 so i thought i could get 3.3 no matter what
asked OCCT and got a bsod
14x232 1.375V, 14x231 1.4V, 14x226 1.4V and 14x223 1.4V were all a no go
whats funny is that neither OCCT nor Prime95 caused any problems while running
true, no test ran for longer than ~1.5hrs, but never anything?
then about an hour or so after testing i got freezeups
mb: ASRock ALiveNF7G-GLAN

When dealing with citizens, if it felt good saying it, it was wrong.

Don't forget, when you increase the fsb that will also increase your memory. Try backing down the multi on your ram and see if that helps. May need to do that through the bios
Re: Can't get Athlon II X2 240 above 3Ghz?
tried setting frequency to 220 via bios, 1.375V
left PCI at 100
not even bios would load, which is funny cos ive been using that setting in asrock oc tuner for months
and what do you mean by ram multi? all i could find was setting ram to 200, 266, 333, 400 or 533

Try 237*13.5. You shouldn't need to bump up the voltage for a 400 MHz OC.
