DILLIGaS Posted July 8, 2007 Posted July 8, 2007 (edited) So I have been looking around and cannot get any ideas what to start on for upping the CPU on my DS3 (Bios F10). I thought if I raised it up to 300 by 9x I could get somewhere to start...did not boot. So I put everything back to defaults in the bios and got into windows started cpuz and my memory says 400 MHz and my core clock is bouncing back and forth to x6 to x9 thus changing my core speed..?What the heck?

Cannot find a step by step clear point to begging with how the bios is to look and what area to raise. Have been clocking AMD for years with no prob. OK: Right after I posted I found this link to others if they need it... http://www.hardforum.com/showthread.php?t=1169366 Still cannot figure out why my cpuz is bouncing around..

road-runner Posted July 8, 2007 Posted July 8, 2007 So I have been looking around and can not get any ideas what to start on for upping the cpu on my DS3 (Bios F10). I thought if I rasied it up to 300 by 9x I could get somewhere to start...did not boot. So I put everything back to defults in the bios and got into windows started cpuz and my memory says 400mhz and my core clock is bouncing back and fourth to x6 to x9 thus changing my core speed..?what the heck? Can not find a step by step clear point to beging with how the bios is to look and what area to raise. Have been clocking AMD for years with no prob. Try looking at this page and see if that helps...

It because speed step is enabled which is the EIST option in the bios. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Ste Posted July 9, 2007 Posted July 9, 2007 There is a large list of things you should do before OCing a C2D. Heres a list of some if not most/all. 1. Disable ‘AI Tuning’ for ASUS, ‘C.I.A.2’ for Gigabyte 2. Set PCI Express (PCIe) frequency @100Mhz (‘Auto’ for DS3/DS4/DQ6) 3. Set PCI frequency @33Mhz 4. Disable Hyperpath 3 (for P5W DH only) 5. Disable any ‘spread spectrum’ 6. Disable Q-Fan (for ASUS only) 7. Disable ‘Limit CPUID Max to 3’ 8. Disable any overvoltage protection 9. Disable ‘C1E’ 10. Disable ‘EIST’ 11. Disable Virtualization Technology 12. Disable No-Execute Memory Protect 13. Disable any other thing you don’t use 14. Do not enable any speed enhancements you see Just hope you did not get one of the Bad OCing ones.. Like Mine... Share this post Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
DILLIGaS Posted July 9, 2007 Posted July 9, 2007 It because speed step is enabled which is the EIST option in the bios. EIST is off...still doing it, can see it jump and stay at 9x while othos is running Share this post Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Ste Posted July 9, 2007 Posted July 9, 2007 EIST is off...still doing it, can see it jump and stay at 9x while othos is running Read and do the list...... All of it.. <_< Share this post Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
DILLIGaS Posted July 9, 2007 Posted July 9, 2007 Read and do the list...... All of it.. <_< ok..got it at 2.9mhz and not jumping around..seems I did not turn off the C1E setting, out of the three. From what else I have read it seems to be better to keep the x9 instead of the x8 with higher mhz? Share this post Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Ste Posted July 9, 2007 Posted July 9, 2007 You need to start adjusting Vcore, FSB voltage, MCH Voltage and RAM Voltage for higher clocks.. I would bump Ram voltage to + .2, MCH voltage to +.1 as well as FSb Voltage for anything higher than 3 Ghz, now you can try the vcore at 1.38 or even 1.4 That should get you to 3.2 Ghz easily, IF you didn't get one of the newer revisions. If you did get a newer revision you may need 1.5 Vcore to reach 3.3 Ghz or higher.. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
iKillSteal Posted July 9, 2007 Posted July 9, 2007 ok..got it at 2.9mhz and not jumping around..seems I did not turn off the C1E setting, out of the three.From what else I have read it seems to be better to keep the x9 instead of the x8 with higher mhz? It all depends. Some people have been able to get high OC's with a multi of 9 while others had to drop down to 8. There really is no way of answering that question until you try it out and see which one works best for you. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
road-runner Posted July 9, 2007 Posted July 9, 2007 Running the 8 multi is supposed to be harder on your motherboard. If you have one of the decent cips you should be able to run 3.2Ghz on stock volts 1.35 setting... Share this post Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
DILLIGaS Posted July 9, 2007 Posted July 9, 2007 Can not get anything now with 9x and over 333mhz with vcore at 1.45...and have my SPD set to auto. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
