Oc Help

[vark5267]

Hi,

 

Was OC my system last night, got the E4500 up to 2926 Mhz, nice and stable (Prime 95 ran over night 7hrs with no issues).

 

I did it by setting the FBS Dram ratio 266/800 and moved the FSB up to 266 from 200. This seemed overly simplistic so I tried to push it a little over 3Ghz by moving the FBS/Dram ratio up to 333/800, lowered the multiplier and moved up the FSB, when I did this i couldnt boot up.

 

At the 2.9Ghz my temps were fine so I should have some head room.

 

Should I go a different direction to push it a little further?

 

The mem is OCX 5-5-5-15 , i think premium sticks

 

Also a couple of questions:

 

At idle Core temp will show 27C while OCCT shows 38C, what is the difference in temps they are reading?

 

and

 

How do you adjust the core voltage on Blood Iron, could not figure that out?

 

 

Thanks

You adjust the Vcore on the Blood Iron by adjusting the CPU VID Special Add under the Voltage Settings.

It gives you adjustments in 12.5mV steps.

 

For example adding 12.5mV to a stock CPU voltage of 1.20v should give you 1.2125v

 

I suspect it will probably need a bit more voltage for 3GHz considering the stock speed.

Other voltages might need twekaing as well.

 

The important thing is to make small changes each time and see what happens.

Thanks, I kind of thought that but wanted to be sure, I kind of had a feeling I would get a quick response from you.
