My first overclock. i wanted to go from 2.8ghz to 3.2ghz. x3 720 BE

 

Set the FSB to the default 200.

Processor Frequency Multiplier : 16 (3200mhz if the FSB is at 200)

CPU/NB Frenquency : x11 multiplier.

 

CPUZ shows 3.2ghz @ 1.408V

That's pretty good and yes, you're doing it right. But you're lucky in that you have a Black Edition and you don't NEED to use a FSB Overclock to raise your CPU speed. Just use the multiplier. Unless you're trying to do both your CPU and RAM in one fell swoop. It's your choice.

i got a ? for you guys. you said to set the Voltage to 1.45V so i went into my BIOS where it sais CPU over Voltage i set it to 1.45 and put my CPU at 3.5GHZ.

 

when i run CPUZ it sais 3.5GHZ @ 1 424 - 1.440V it fluctuates. did i do that correctly?

ok here is an update. i was able to push 3.4GHZ Fully stable at 1.4V running intel burn test. I ran the program 5 times using 10 times to test.

 

I was UNABLE to get 3.5 or 3.6 out of it period. Failed @ 1.42V 1.43V 1.44v 1.45v 1.46v 1.47v 1.48v and 1.49v. This is most likely caused by my motherboard due to being low cost and not a proven overclocker or cause im running windows xp 32bit.

 

I am planning on getting a new board and windows 7 64bit here in the next week but for now 3.4ghz is better then 2.8
