Crysis stutters...OC problem? ( 1 Views )

1. I just OC my E6300 to 3.22GHz, and it is prime95 stable for 6.5 hours. Its about 55C at load, measured by TAT, 57C on SpeedFan. When I run crysis, the game often lags. It will still show the guys running, but they'll be running in place, and the music and sound will just keep looping for a few seconds. Is this related to an OC problem?
   
   Specs:
   8800GT clocked at 650Mhz (EVGA superclocked edition)
   2GB Corsair XMS2 PC2-6400 RAM (5-5-5-15 timings, 1.9V)
   E6300 at 3.22GHz (460x7 FSB, 1.328 VCore)
   Audigy 2 ZS Gamer Edition

2. do the problems persist when you remove the OC?
   
   I'd recommend losing the OC anyways... I've notice very little gaming improvement when OC compared to stock.. I feel sorry for your motherboard cooking away with an 1880MHz FSB... poor thing..
   
   I think a moderate OC is great but bleeding edge its kinda counter-productive....

4. did you just build this system and use the drivers that came with the 8800gt?

5. This rig is about 1.5 years old, got it around august 06, whenever core 2 duos came out. I'm using the 169.25 drivers for my 8800gt. I haven't tried running without the OC yet, so I'll try that out tomorrow.

6. What OS Vista or XP and i would add more ram for Crysis. 2Gig just isnt enough especially if its Vista.

9. lol, if you want to know if its due to an overclock, try it and see, we cant as we dont have your PC.
   
   There is a small possibility that it is due to error correction/resending data caused by the a CPU/memory/bus overclock corrupting operations/data but its not often you will end up in this state and able to still operate the PC as it is highly likely to cause a crash.
   Its worth testing with a lower CPU multiplier or lower ram divider.
   Also try a lower FSB speed.
   
   Have you locked the PCI-E bus speed as too high a clock can affect/corrupt the data being sent to the graphics card when running out of spec.
