Benamin Posted March 27, 2006 Posted March 27, 2006 I just Installed my opty 170 and I am hoping someone can point me to some bios settings to get me to an easy 2.5 (10x250 1:1). I don't have time to experiment until next week so I just want to get it stable enough for my kids play games during springbreak. My components are in sig. Thanks in Advance if you can help.

Benamin here's a fair starting point. 1st. set the RAM divider to half the RAM clock speed. (1/2) 2nd set you FSB/HTT to 250 and CPU Mul to 10 3rd set the bus divider to 3 4th set the CPU VID (Vcore) to 1.35 this should work for this modest OC if not try 1.4 vcore. I can get 10*280=2800 at 1.4vcore Good luck, and let us know how you get on. IMK Share this post Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
beserkjay Posted March 27, 2006 Posted March 27, 2006 Heres my new opty 165 CCBWE0602 :shake: edit- omg I had to kill the quality of the image to fit the size limit. Its 295x9 1.375V Ram at 265mhz if you can't read it Share this post Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Its 295x9 1.375V Ram at 265mhz if you can't read it WOW, is that on stock vcore? Cool dude, congrats, thats impressive IMHO. Wonder how it will do on phase with those promising speed at that low vcore? Share this post Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Wonder how it will do on phase with those promising speed at that low vcore? Not quite, stock is 1.325V or so. I can't get any higher then 295 without raising the vcore over 1.4V, and its not worth a few more mhz to me Share this post Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
twivel Posted March 27, 2006 Posted March 27, 2006 beserkjay, what is your vcore *SET to* in BIOS? The reason I ask is that I can do 2.6xx @ 1.4v, but when I run CPU-Z it shows 1.37x volts as well. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
beserkjay Posted March 27, 2006 Posted March 27, 2006 ya its set to 1.4V in bios but in the bios it says 1.38 or so. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
twivel Posted March 27, 2006 Posted March 27, 2006 I'd trust what you set in BIOS over what the software says. But the only way to know *for_sure* is to get out a digital multi meter. Perhaps I'll try this myself.. Others with multimeters have found the actual volts to be precisely what it's set to in bios. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Sorrento Posted March 27, 2006 Posted March 27, 2006 What is "set" on BIOS, or what is "said" on BIOS? I always have the two settings in mind when adjusting the vcore, not the vcore reading itself... only a digital multimeter would determine who is saying the truth, but to be safe I prefer to know the maximum voltage I am using and not a probable undervolted reading, just in case Share this post Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
