Is this score a little low for 200fsb? 10.5 x 200 Sync dual channel timmings 7,3,3,2? ALthough voltage is only 1.7 and eveything else is default, with my old 2400 I couldnt get stable at 200 with out upping the VDD this is 1.6v

:-D

[Holst]

that looks about right to me.

[bradmax57]

well err right after that I though ah what the hell! I'll try 230 and oops I corrupted windows and since i gave my slave hd to my wifes pc ive just had to do a full windows reinstall!!! do you know if you can use ghost to creat an image on master drive I think so but havent used it.

[Holst]

ooops

you shouldnt jump the FSB up too much.. go slowly.

But you allready know that

You can use ghost to backup and reinstall the primary partition on your master drive.

Still re-installing everything! Thank god for Broadband, I remember doing XP SP1 on dial up and I think it took about 6 hours? now takes like 15 minutes so I can use ghost on the same partition? Once Ive got it all sweet I'll ghost before I try oc;ing again

you cannot make a ghost image on the same drive you imaging. and you cannot run a image form the same drive you trying to image. There is an option to burn the image straight to CD-R. a fresh install of windowsxp with drivers is about 2 cd's. All though my ghost image is 32 gigs. LOL.

But you can make an image over sveral CD's? Ive never tried that option either, I was thinking about buying a DVD burner for that very reason.

I have 3 partitions.

one 5gb for OS install one 40gb of programs and games and anther 5gb for OS backup.

So all I ever backup is the OS partition, then I can quickly fix windows should it get corrupted. Damage to programs from overclocking is normally minor.. so if soemthing wont run I just reinstall it.

I keep my music on a seperate drive.

[bradmax57]

Im not that keen on having different partitions etc, what do you use partition majic?

[Holst]

Fdisk...

[muzz]

I run 6 partitions myself, and I wouldn't have it any other way..
My whole family has at least 2 partitions after having to go through he ll fixing their crap and reloading all the BS.....
I use FDISK when fixing someone elses stuff, and PM on my machine.

That’s basically what I do. A small primary partition for Windows and a much larger partition for applications and "My Documents" - I just have a second drive where I make backup sets for my music, pics, games and applications and a ASR for my primary partition. Restoring the primary partition takes less then 20 min since its only about 8 GB large.

yup, sevreal CDs works great. I'm not sur eif a DVD burnner will work, not sure if the software supports it yet. look into it before you do it.
