Hi . Good Day . Newbies here who trying to overclock his "MSI K9A2 CF-F with Phenom x3 8650" but unsuccess .

hoping to get some valuable help here and thanx first for any one who concern .

here is some info about my spec which i think might help :

 

AMD Phenom x3 8650 (Stock Colling)

MSI K9A2 CF-F motherboard

Sapphire HD 4830 (overclocked with ATI overdrive software to GPU 690 / Memory 1020 - Original should be GPU clock 575 / Momory clock 900 )

Western Internal 500GB Hardisk

anything else that i should list here ??

============================================================================

Default Cell Menu setting in Bios

 

D.O.T Control ============== Disable

AMD Cool 'n' Quiet =========== Disable

HT Ratio ================== Auto

Adjust CPU FSB Frequency ====== 200

1st Adjust CPU Ratio ========== Auto (Max 11.5)

2nd Adjust CPU Ratio ========== Auto (Grey Out cant select ; So whats this 2nd ratio for?)

Adjust CPU Frequency========== 2300

============================================================

Advance DRAM Configuration [Press Enter] => Auto (Preset)

===============================DCT 0

===============================DCT 1

So above is the Cell Menu default setting . Any suggesttion to overclock this ? I do try to lower the 1st CPU Ratio below 2300 and memory frequency

below 800 to find out the Max FSB that my motherboard can take but it wont post even if i jus increase the FSB from 200 to 201 why is so ??

Unless i power off the computer & restart then it will post and log in to windows , but if i restart my computer then it wont post again . :angry2:

No matter how low i set my 1st CPU ratio & HT ratio & Memory frequency its still the same .

 

So any advise or suggestion ?? Thanx again for the help .

I have the same setup as you. All I did was put the HT Ratio at x6 and the fsb freq at 245. Im now running at 2.82ghz still have to put it to the test though. OH, I almost forgot, make sure your TLB bug fix is enabled. I couldnt do anything with it disabled.
