DrAwesomePhD Posted December 17, 2005 Posted December 17, 2005 Hi, well i was obvoiusly just trying to OC my CPU as any loyal geek and can seem to get it to around 3.6ghz (from 3ghz) on problem. However, cant really get past that without setitng voltages way too high for my liking (like 1.6V will get me to 3.8ghz). I really want to hit 4ghz though So i was wondering, can you change the multiplier and is it a good idea? I have a 3.0E so my multiplier is x15 (200x15 = 3000). Can i up the mulitplier? obvoiusly, if it could run at 16, it would run much faster yes... like 230mhz... Can someone explain the hardware implications of doing this (im an Electrical Engineer student and just like to know even if i dont understand ^_^) Share this post Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Ste Posted December 17, 2005 Posted December 17, 2005 I can't really explain it But im pretty sure you can't change the Multiplier. Unless its some type of special engineering sample or something they are all locked. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
0r4d0 Posted December 18, 2005 Posted December 18, 2005 The difference between a 3GHz and a 3.2GHz, is the multiplier (15x200 and 16x200). So u have to pay for a higher multi Share this post Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
r_target Posted December 18, 2005 Posted December 18, 2005 You can't change the multiplier on that P4. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
romeo55 Posted December 18, 2005 Posted December 18, 2005 you can't up the multi on any regular p4... Tho in fact its actually easier to OC on a lower multi, i know those 3.0Es will hit 4.0 easy. If you get lucky like i did you can lower the multi if you wanted too... but i don't think thats what you want to hear Share this post Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
DrAwesomePhD Posted December 18, 2005 Posted December 18, 2005 so how exactly do you hit 4ghz? what's your volts/external clock set at? What kind of cooling do you use? Share this post Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Zofo Posted December 18, 2005 Posted December 18, 2005 Phase changer system!! or water cooling if you wanna be the AVERAGE nerd Share this post Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
