Sometimes Posted January 18, 2011 Posted January 18, 2011 I am new to Overclockersclub.com, and wanted to first to wave and say hello. I have some new peripherals that I'd like to increase their performance if possible. Not really sure of my limits given my hardware so thought I'd open that up for suggestions. Currently I'm using a AMD Phenom X2 560 Black Edition (3.3Ghz), a Gigabyte MA785GM-US2H mobo, GeForce9800GT 512MB, 6GB DDR2 on Windows 7 (64 bit). I've already adjusted the FSB and Multi in BIOS slightly, suggested here. Everything boots, runs well as far as I can tell. But how far can this be taken? What are my limits? Is anyone familiar with the BIOS for my mobo? What other configurations should I address in the BIOS? Here is an image of a utility that came with my mobo, EasyTuner6.

By davisdryan at 2011-01-17 Thank you in advance Welcome to OCC mate! Great to have you on board. Unfortunately I can't help you in the overclocking sense but I would like to ask: Do you if you have your 6 GB of RAM running in dual channel mode?

IVIYTH0S Posted January 18, 2011 Posted January 18, 2011 great work so far, might want to see how far you can take that chip with the unlocked multiplier before touching the bclock. Welcome!!! Share this post Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Unfortunately I can't help you in the overclocking sense but I would like to ask: Do you if you have your 6 GB of RAM running in dual channel mode? Well the mobo supports dual channel. I have 2x2GB and 2x1GB split 3 & 3. Or is there some BIOS setting I need to address for "dual channel mode"? Share this post Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Alexandre Posted January 18, 2011 Posted January 18, 2011 (edited) Well the mobo supports dual channel. I have 2x2GB and 2x1GB split 3 & 3. Or is there some BIOS setting I need to address for "dual channel mode"? Generally dual channel automatically turns on according to which slots you put your memory into. Dual channel memory has a pretty good performance increase compared to single channel memory. Download CPU-Z to see if it's running dual channel mode (tells you in the Memory Tab) - or maybe EasyTune6 can tell you... EDIT: This article may help in showing how you should plug your memory into your mobo. Edited January 18, 2011 by Alexandre Share this post Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
