Overclocking an Intel D850EMV2?

RavingNutsack · 17-December-04, 06:50 AM

Is it at all possible? my current config is that mobo plus a 2.8ghz P4 400fsb and 768mb of Samsung PC800 RDRAM. Yes, I am ashamed, no need to remind me. But seriously, I've been wanting to OC this sumbitch for a while now but haven't been able to do much at all. any suggestions?

I doubt you will have much luck, Intel boards don't allow much in the way of adjustment in the Bios.

If you can find a program called "Soft FSB" you might be able to OC through software, but without being able to adjust voltage and other settings, I don't think you will get far.

Here is one review that mentions this problem, sorry we can't help ya..time for a new Motherboard!

Heh, well I was looking into an Asus P4T533 due to the fact that I don't want to just waste the huge investment I made in the RDRAM

but it was a flippin' $150! I dunno about you, but I ain't spending that much on a 2 year old mobo. the intel was more reasonable at $50, though. so i guess it'll be another year with this old piece of sheit before i can afford a decent new rig.

Well, it's really a done deal at this point. besides, I couldn't find much in the way of Abit s478 RDRAM boards.

sell the ram on ebay, there are a lot of people who are looking for RD for servers, and you might get enough out of the ram for a new mobo.

I'm definitely going to look into that. thanks!

Stock Intel motherboards are pretty much locked down as far as CPU, memory, etc. adjustments are concerned. I'd recommend switching to a new MB and ram or just let it be until you're ready for a new system.
