sale666 Posted March 23, 2009 Posted March 23, 2009 (edited) Hello ok so i do know a little but not all about overclocking so this is what i set: Multi: 14,5 (MAX) BUS: 222 http://valid.canardpc.com/show_oc.php?id=533103 Giving me a total of 3222mhz core speed HTlink on 889mhz Dram ferquency 358mhz (DDR2 so that should be 716mhz) And ram i set to 667 off 800 or else it would crash if i left anything on AUTO it would crash so its all set as it is.. Also i raised processor core v to 1.375 from default 1.35 My specs: AMD Athlon 64 X2 6000+ Stepping 3 Geil ultra 4GB 800 MHZ Gigabyte GA-m57sli-s4 (rev 2.0) http://www.gigabyte.com.tw/Products/Mother...?ProductID=2539 Now as i see my temperatures are still in range of normal i run cpu testing tool and it keeps it on 100% for a longer time and temps get 55c* core0 and 49 core1 I would like to push my memory to get back to 800 and my HTlink back to 1GHZ so i belive i should set far more like 236 x 14,5 and that would give me 3.422mhz in total as long the cpu is not over 65 i consider it fine! or should i chose more bus and less multi and why? But im unsure how to overclock it from here should i just push it? max in my bios i can set the vcore 1.500 but that seems a bit too high! also do i need to increse memory voltage? What interests me also is the memory timings! how do i set those? and what is recomended? I have absolutly no idea what this clocks mean but i see ppl get a lot lower so im guessing i could too and memory will operate faster! My ram sticks are all the same! Geil Ultra 800mhz they look like these http://img125.imageshack.us/img125/4959/geilej4.jpg Thank you for your help!

sale666 Posted March 23, 2009 Posted March 23, 2009 (edited) ok my newest thing is this but im looking on pushing it to 3.5 http://valid.canardpc.com/show_oc.php?id=533265 edit: not stable i cant get any stable actualy i just went testing and none of my overclocks are stable! i bumped my voltage from 1.35 to 1.400 and still not stable should i bump the HT link voltage? it can be added +0.025 and so on...

Water_Hazard Posted March 24, 2009 Posted March 24, 2009 (edited) Is your processor the "Black Edition"? I am guessing not since you are changing the fsb. Your processor is going to be very limited to what overclocks you can get and still keep your ramm at optimal freq. since you are running your ram lower though, you might be able to tighten those timings a little. Try 4-4-4-12 and see if those timings are stable using a program like memtest86 http://www.memtest86.com/ And yes you can up the HT link voltage, but do so carefully Edited March 24, 2009 by Water_Hazard Share this post Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
sale666 Posted March 24, 2009 Posted March 24, 2009 thank you for your reply no my processor is not black edition it has a locked multi of 15x and ht of 5x... iv tried to set timings to 4-4-4-12 as sugested but my pc doesnt even start than! however i read that my memory is preaty darn solid they even tested it up to 1100 mhz! my current is 5-5-5-18... what could be the issue?

What board are you using? I don't see anything listed in your siq. You will probably need to bump up your secondary voltages to help get the speed up, but your chip is going to be very limited because of having FSB adjustments only. 235+ for that system is doing very well and anything over that will probably be shaky Share this post Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Water_Hazard Posted March 28, 2009 Posted March 28, 2009 (edited) Most decent ram can overclock fairly well. My gskill 1333 9-9-9-24 I have had overclocked to 1456. But I didnt see much of a performance increase. But when I lowered the speed to 1152 and tightened the timing to 8-8-8-21 I saw a much bigger increase even at lower speeds edit: also overclocking your ramm is going to make tightening the timings harder.. You may even have to loosen timing.. Now that I think about it, since you are overclocking your ramm with the cpu try loosening your timings and see if that helps your OC. try 6-6-6-18 Edited March 28, 2009 by Water_Hazard Share this post Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
sale666 Posted March 29, 2009 Posted March 29, 2009 should i try lowering my ram to 667 than setting the timing to 4-4-4-12? would that be faster? Share this post Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Water_Hazard Posted March 30, 2009 Posted March 30, 2009 (edited) should i try lowering my ram to 667 than setting the timing to 4-4-4-12? would that be faster? If your pc wouldnt even boot at 800 4-4-4-12 then I doubt it will be stable even at 667.. You are still going to get a bigger gain out of overclocking the cpu even with relaxed timings, so I would try that. If you have a little extra cash I would consider getting a new cpu. The newer amd's are a lot better at OCing(the black editions are anyway) I would seriously consider a new cpu. You would see an amazing increase in performance even with the same motherboard and ramm Also, are you overclocking for a purpose, like for gaming or benchmarks? or just to see how high you can get? Just trying to see what you are wanting out of the OC. Edited March 30, 2009 by Water_Hazard Share this post Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Water_Hazard Posted March 30, 2009 Posted March 30, 2009 A bios update could possibly help out your OC too. I didnt see anything about better overclocking being supported in the bios updates for your board but then again they didnt really list much... so it may be worth a shot Share this post Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

You should still be able to play most games beautifully though. The gtx 260 is an amazing card but, if you plan on overclocking the gpu, I'm not sure you would see the full potential of the card without overclocking the cpu as well Edited March 31, 2009 by Water_Hazard Share this post Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
