Help me OC Amd PII x4 965be 3.4 on Asus M4n98td Evo board

[Majikdog]

I have already put together the rig and am lookig to OC it. Specs of setup are:

Asus M4n98td Evo AM3

AMD PII X4 965 be 3.4ghz 125w/ AS5 applied

Gskill Ripjaws ddr3 1600 9-9-9-24 1t 4gigs(2x2gigs)

OCZ 700w 80+ mod psu

Sunbeam cct 92mm HSF/ AS5 applied

Sapphire 5770 1g

Win 7 pro 64

Fans in 5-80mm, 1-120mm

Fans out 2-80mm, 1-120mm

 

I've never OC'd before, and can't find much data on this mobo, so if ne1 can help, it would be great. Idle temp 31c, load 48 @100%.

If ur a beginner download AMD Overdrive, Increase the multiplier and by 0.5 and run prime 95 or occt test for at least for 30mins ,if stable and no bsod ur in luck,keep repeating this until u get a bsod then increase the Vcore by 0.25 volts if still not stable increase its by another 0.25 thats in total 0.5 volts then keep on repeating this until stability, pretty simply but watch out for ur temps when increasing voltage ,if ur processors isnt a black edition ur in trouble,u will have to Oc by incresing the FSB or Buss speed by 5 increments normally ur buss speed is 200.

[Praz]

then increase the Vcore by 0.25 volts if still not stable increase its by another 0.25 thats in total 0.5 volts

Those values should be 0.025V and 0.050V.

[insan3]

yeah asus can adjust down to .00xx values. i wish gygabite had that

[Majikdog]

ROck and roll, here we go. And yes 965 is Black Edition. Btw , what is the expected OC on an air system with the HSF and fans I have setup? Also, is the memory OC'able or not worth it?

 

AMD overdrive does not support this mobo...

my bad , mistype by me

[insan3]

3.8 to 4.1, i find memory OC is only a plus when benchin, not really for day to day things.

[Majikdog]

AOD says "can not detect AMD 7-series chipset"

[insan3]

i have never software oc, always bios.

[Majikdog]

Roger that on the Bios OC.

Ok I actually have this mobo as well and the same processor. You cannot use AMD Overdrive. It is only for boards with a 790fx.

Here is what i have going on right now. I use the Bios for my OC.From what I understand these chips love cold and low voltage.

I noticed some of the people telling you what to do are not telling you some important things. Also some are telling you steppings that this board doesnt have.

 

I have my system running at 3884mhz STABLE on Stock Cooler.

 

FSB - 210

Multiplier - X18.5

RAM profile 1600

HT Link - 2310

NB/CPU - 2310

Pretty Sure My voltage is either 1.425 or 1.45

My RAM is made for intels so itll be lower voltage than yours. (My goal was to break 2000mhz) So I got intel RAM that runs lower to start off.

RAM is running at 1400 right now on 1.66 volts.

 

I think I left everything else on AUTO so far.

 

Make sure cool n quiet is disabled or you'll get low speed without a load..

Get CPU-Z (checking values in Windows) and PC Wizard(Temps and A lot more).

Also disable your fan control which is Q-Fan and use Speedfan.

All programs are free.

 

What you should do is start by looking up the specs for you RAM. Write them down.

Then up your RAM profile to 1600 in the bios. Set the voltage to what GSKill tells you to use for 1600 or as close as you can as mine is supposed to run at 1.65. but the mobo goes in .02 increments.

If you can boot to windows and it doesnt freeze or blue screen you then Shut Down.

Go back into bios and only up your multiplier by .5and change your CPU voltage to 1.4250 and reboot. Keep going until you wont boot anymore. Then go back and step it back down 1 notch. Thats approximately your max speed. I cannot stay stable at 3900 yet but im working some of the kinks out.

OK now you can move your HT Link and CPU/NB up till it wont boot and then step it back 1 notch. I keep my CPU/NB and HT Link at the same speed. I dont know what the proper HT voltage is so i havent tried to get mine up past 2400 when overclocking. Im sure you can get it and ill let you know when i figure that out.

Now weve got the CPU, RAM, and HT set to work better.Still not quite there yet.

I then went back in and tried upping the FSB because at this point it was between 3.8 and 3.9 where i was getting something wrong.

I upped the FSB 10 points to 210 and reset the HT and CPU/NB to 2310.

This game me the 3884 @ 1.4250, RAM 1400 at 1.65v, HT at 2310.

 

This should provide a stable overclock for you. I think it will go higher.

Most instability is either from voltage problems or setting something wrong. This mobo is great for overclocking but because its new its hard to get help on it.

I hope I did a good job explaining this. The process is new to me as my old board had like 6 sdetting and this one has at least 20 not including the RAM.

Jake ur Da Man. followed it to the tee and gtg 3885.11 @1.8.5 Cpu volt @1.425 Ht and Cpu/Nb @2310 FSB @210. Cpu temp stable @34C. here's my CPUz validate :

 

 

not sure how u insert it in forums?? Let me know. Not sure about the ram part, if I did anything or not. Changed profile to 1600 and set Dram volt to 1.5 . Also TurboV is running, does that make a diff? You said u were able to set ur ram to 1400? Not sure what that translate to and where you do that at in bois.
