Waco Posted October 8, 2012 Posted October 8, 2012 Alright so i tried, it keeps giving me a cmos error, odd. How much are you changing it by? It's entirely possible you're pushing too far on your first jump. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Pteroduck Posted October 8, 2012 Posted October 8, 2012 The stuff went up, its just it wont go past posting, can't login. no black screen though. I went 215,105, and i pushed the ram to 1600 just to see, didnt work, so i just pushed it to 210,100,[ram]1600, didnt work, i just pushed the first thing to 205, still no luck either Share this post Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
dr_bowtie Posted October 8, 2012 Posted October 8, 2012 push the 200 number but leave the ram alone Share this post Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Pteroduck Posted October 8, 2012 Posted October 8, 2012 The first number right? will cpu-z show the new speed? Share this post Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
GabrielT Posted October 8, 2012 Posted October 8, 2012 The first number right? will cpu-z show the new speed? Yes. And leave the ram alone, just to make life easy. The difference performance wise betwenn 1333 and 1600mhz ram isn't as much as a 3.6ghz processor clock speed. Athlons often max out at 3.6-3.8ghz so don't push to hard to fast.

Pteroduck Posted October 8, 2012 Posted October 8, 2012 Oh ok, gotcha. I spent an hour trying to get it to boot at 215, seems like it cant. 210 seems like the max (3.3ghz over 3.2ghz) odd? Share this post Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
dr_bowtie Posted October 9, 2012 Posted October 9, 2012 no.... you need to look at the ram speed and possibly slow it down and/or set TRFC slower.... 75 is too tight... set it at 112 for all populated slots and try that you also need to keep an eye on the HT-Link speeds Google overclocking on that board and start reading.... you'll learn the quirks...

Pteroduck Posted October 9, 2012 Posted October 9, 2012 The overclock is semi successful. After an hour and a half, i did manage to get it to 225, with a mix of other settings, but when i restart it, it has a bad checksum error from post Share this post Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
dr_bowtie Posted October 9, 2012 Posted October 9, 2012 that means the memory isnt happy Share this post Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Pteroduck Posted October 9, 2012 Posted October 9, 2012 does that mean i have to lower the ram even more? Share this post Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Waco Posted October 10, 2012 Posted October 10, 2012 does that mean i have to lower the ram even more? Remember that increasing the base clock (200 to 225) will put your memory at a higher speed than normal. Setting it to 1600 and running 225 bus speed gives you 1800 for the memory. Setting it to 1333 and running 225 bus speed gives you 1500 for the memory. Many times the IMC (maybe marked as NorthBridge) has to have slightly higher voltage to run higher speeds too.

Pteroduck Posted October 10, 2012 Posted October 10, 2012 (edited) i cant seem to get the magic settings to keep it stable... i can only boot into it even if i put more into alternate VID(no NB/IMC setting) these are my current settings Edited October 10, 2012 by Pteroduck Share this post Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
