to cut a long story short,overclocked my cpu,got as far as 220htt and now have a totally corrupted 200gb sata drive.
Helpful.... Ok, what settings were you using at 220? Did you drop the LDT to 4? Were you running 1:1? vcore, vdimm etc
Sorry I couldnt help but no one had posted a reply and I helped him get attention with my slick cool humour. I appologise for the post. Hope you get it workin, I had same problem with laptop sata drive. Had to get data recovered. bg . . . . . .
Was it nVidia based? Even the 'almighty' nForce4 only tend to lock 2 of the supplied SATA so if you push HT beyond 10% in one of those unlocked ports expect corruption. I'm unsure of how VIA and ATi fit in regarding SATA locking.
yeah its a nforce 4 board,(just read that this is a common fault with the raid controller used)i was running vcore at 1.45v. my sata drive was only a storage drive(luckily most things were backed up but not all) it also stopped my comp from booting prom my pata drive?but hadnt corrupted any data on it. anyway after a reinstall i now seem to have it stable at 205htt,memdivider at 5.4 vdimm 2.6ldt 4x
If you push it too far you can still mess up windows even if your pci/sata is locked Usually happens when your ram is unstable.
Were you doing this with clockgen? Interesting thing of note with near all NF4 boards - locks DO NOT work at 200 HTT. 201 works like a treat however.
